As a part of the often-demonised age group know as millennials, I accept that I am most certainly a murderer. That is to say, according to most older media outlets, my smashed avo consumption and entitled lifestyle has killed off more businesses, places and things boomers like than the protagonist of a Quentin Tarantino film.

Look, I think I can speak for my fellow millennials in saying that we’re not proud of being a bunch of industry serial killers. But frankly, some of the industries had it coming. If we’re going to be given a thousand different options to live our lives, then some of those options are going to fall by the wayside. And those that do are hopefully going to be the real awful ones.
It’s this idea that sparked the recent AskReddit thread asking “What industry are you glad that Millennials are killing?” And the millennials of Reddit went in. Over the past 24 hours, redditors have picked some of the industries whose graves us millennials are more than happy to dance upon.
Classicpass got the top rated comment with an industry that in the age of smartphone contacts and Google, barely still exists:

The coincidentally named BeerSteak called out low-budget chain restaurants. While more prominent in the US, in Australia places like Sizzler have experienced the same fate:
