Interesting article: Homebody millennials pushing "stay home, drink, watch Netflix" trend

Warning, VOX
This is a disturbing trend that I think will have long-term negative effects.

A January analysis using 10 years’ worth of the American Time Use Surveys conducted annually by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that millennials spent 70 percent more time at home than the general population. As with everything millennials do or don’t do, this is annoying to some people, and the New York Post ran a headline in June 2016 announcing “Millennials don’t deserve NYC.”

Saucey (gross), an LA-based alcohol courier app that will also bring you cigarettes, ice cream, and Doritos — all in 30 minutes or less — launched in 2014 and has since raised $10.2 million in funding and expanded throughout California and into Chicago. “The new going out is staying in,” marketing director Danielle Silveira tells me. “Why go out and wait in a line? Sit back and chill on your couch with Netflix … or Hulu or Amazon or any streaming service.”

Dang. I was born in 1980, but I guess I’m a true millennial.

There’s Brooklinen, which offers financing plans for $129 sheet sets and has 75,000 followers on its tangentially related lifestyle Instagram. There’s Burrow, a couch-in-a-box company that has recently taken over vacant New York storefronts and filled them with elaborate dioramas of laziness, captioned with the tagline “Good for nothing.”

You thibk spending more time at home presumably with family and spending less money in a credit addicted nation? If love to hear your explanation for that other than because it millennials.
But it wouldn't be fun to realizd millennials are smarter, spend less, and get divorced less than your dumbass generation.

That seems like an awfully small amount of money to need to finance

Did you even read the article? It's totally about spending money.
And I like TV as much as the next guy, but these trends are resulting in huge attendance decreases at everything from sporting events, to museums, to plays, to concerts, etc.
People need to get out of the house and socialize.

Why would anyone need Doritos delivered?

This trend makes sense in the context of greater marijuana use. People sit around and get stoned. Not a lot of ambition to go out and do anything.

Who is they?
The article was written by a millennial on a website targeting millennials.

They don't deserve NYC because.....they don't waste their time and money at overpriced nightclubs???? Dumb.
Only thing I would say is that if you don't go out much, live in the country. Less stress, lower cost of living, and you still have the same access to Netflix. Plus you can live 1-2 hours out and still be able to make a day trip into the city if you want to see the Metropolitan Opera or a Mets game or grab dinner at a specific restaurant.

As much as rent cost, you better believe there are people who don't want to go anywhere else. Plus with as much as rent cost, they can't afford to do anything else.

Why?
Seems like it would reduce drunk driving. Anything that gets the dating world out of the ol go to the bar and randomly hit on women thing is a plus.

Based on what exactly? The last 100 years?
Human beings have been around an incredibly long time, and we're trying to figure out how to exist in a world of excess. It's going to be messy for the next five to ten generation no matter what we do.

Good for them.
I see more and more people getting together in more informal settings and hanging out.
