I feel like there's some obvious point-missing going on here. "Millennials are killing X" is a marketing POV, and marketing fundamentally exists outside morality. It's not a moral indictment, it's just a bald statement of fact, like "the automobile is killing the horse-drawn carriage". Disclaimer: I have not read everything that's ever been written about millennials.

> marketing fundamentally exists outside morality. > It's not a moral indictment, it's just a bald statement of fact Marketing exists to sell stuff. Facts are only relevant to marketing in-so-far as the facts sells the product. More often than not, marketing is bullshit and completely devoid of facts because facts are boring and products need to be exciting. "Millenials are killing X" is exactly the sort of marketing statement that is completely devoid of facts.
