Have you guys not figured out yet that the media justs runs random headlines with whatever they got paid to plug with a generation tacked onto it to sell more stuff by creating FOMO

"<Generation we want to sell more stuff to> has rediscovered the joy of <thing we want to sell more of>"

It's possible many such articles are actually truly random and they just add generations to them because it increases engagement, which would be somehow even more sad.

Either way they are definitely not legitimate and you can safely ignore almost any headline with a generation in it.

I'd go one step further and say that you can safely ignore most The Economist articles.

The Economist has gone much more mainstream. It used to be more technical

It's as if The Atlantic, NYTs, Washington Post, FT, Economist etc. all regurgitate the same headlines/themes based on what is trendy e.g. "is Ai a bubble?" The media acts as a single entity that is a mirror of an intelligentsia elite. Ordinary people do not care that much about movie attendance, the demise of movie rental stores, or if AI is a bubble.

All generations are rediscovering the joy of going to the movies, now that there's a handful of movies worth going to the theater for. This hasn't happened since Barbenheimer.

Like sports, the moviegoing experience will always occupy a place in society. It's fun, social, and hard to replicate, such as the screen size and sound.

Unfortunately I've got very good hearing. Every movie theater I go into is deafening.
