> Millenials stopped going to malls, ergo millenials killed the mall. That's just a neutral statement of fact. It's not neutral at all. I could just as easily say "Boomer-age owners of retail failed to adapt to changing tastes, ergo boomer-age owners of retail killed the mall." Totally different implications based on wording.

I guess Millennials killed every single thing that they stopped using. Public libraries were killed off by millennials. Video killed the Radio star. That I can undestand. But saying consumers killed the radio by choosing video? What a weird word choice.

  That's a pretty standard figure of speech. Why do you think it's a weird word choice?

> It's not neutral at all. Yes it is. Are we just going to go back and forth like this?
