Is it true that consumerism is down among millenials/younger

Not so much frugal as broke. That combined with "sellers" more interested in renting junk that isn't worth even that much.

I'd say yea, but my gf has coworkers who spend 200$ on clothes each month.

Millenial sheep consumers are extremely easy to manipulate and market to.

You just need to know how to manipulate them.

It's because wages are down big time compared to previous generations. Also a lot of millennials became adults during the Great Recession, so they have learned to have a famine mindset.

it's both of these imo. being so poor for so long has created a generational or cultural aversion to buying things/wasting money.

but people still buy shit and if you can market your childslave-produced sandals as being part of an "experience" or "movement' you're sollid.

This is not a thing people still buy the greatest newest iphone macbook etc

Their parents buy it for them.

They do, but the phone is used for everything then.

Most people don't buy expensive computers, cameras and such stuff in return, because their phone is capable of doing all those things

>>1908515
This is my guess

>epic Twitter banter

Also don't use a white person to advertise anything ever.

>>1908174
We're not more frugal we're just poor. When your poor you don't have the funds to purchase as many goods as the older generations do.

>>1908174
40% of the unemployed in the US are millennials.

this is a problem for retailers.

this, everyone forgets minuamin wage was worth MORE back then, meanwhile ticket prices for movies go up every 6 months

>>1908174
Millennial have to be more frugal because of the economic disadvantages as compared to their parents.

People who were alive during the depression still would end up doing weird shit like hording/hiding food even after when there wasn't real food scarcity.

>>1909056
Hasn't that always been the case though? When have minumum wages risen with inflation?

>>1908174
Its not true
Most people my age will max out credit in a month then spend all year paying it off and wasting money on tobacco/alcohol binges

>>1908644
Either mommy and daddy buys it, or they finance it like a nigger for a few years.
God damn, Pajeet, it's like you're FOB.

Isn't this shit overplayed?
People got Donald Trump in the White House, they're not completely dead inside.
