Fight club

Romance, beer, diamonds, doorbells. Which generation has killed more industries? A Gen Z rep and a Millennial baby go head-to-head. But can they beat the OG destroyer, Thanos?

The greatest crime thriller of our time is not Only Murders In The Building. It's not You either (though that Netflix show is seriously creepy). It's the slow death of Boomer businesses.

Every other day, there's a new headline. Young people have killed the diamond industry, they've killed 9-5 jobs, killed doorbells, killed even napkins and bar soaps because they prefer to live differently. Romance? Situationships have stabbed it in the heart. Home ownership? It's on life support. But who's got more blood on their hands? Millennials or Gen Z?

We got content creator Srishti Garg, 24, a Gen Z rep; and comedian Aditi Mittal, 37, a Millennial baby, for a face-off. And dragged Thanos along for the ride. May the worst generation win! First of all, this brouhaha over industries being murdered. It's Boomer panic over their bastions of income being threatened. It's like someone in the 1400s whining, “Sanitation is killing chamber pots!

Alcohol

Millennials ditched beer for non-alcoholic drinks. Gen Z loves mocktails. Who became sober-curious first?

Aditi Mittal: Gen Z killed booze. Millennials were murdering themselves with drinking games until Gen Z came in and said, “What are you doing?”.

Srishti Garg: Gen Z, for sure. The Millennials around me are still heavy drinkers. We don’t want the extra calories from drinking. For us, the new bars are cafes, pickleball courts.

Killer: Gen Z

Clubbing

No one parties like it’s 1999. Who gave up first?
