Notes -
The alcohol industry contracts hard, and fast. GLP-1s suppress alcohol cravings as a side effect, Gen Z was already drinking way less.
The college closure wave becomes a rout. Births fell off a cliff starting in 2008, which means the enrollment cliff arrived roughly last year and gets worse every year through 2031.
Young men keep flowing into high-demand, traditional churches while everything squishy keeps dying.
Physical media stages a real comeback beyond vinyl.
How do you think this will work in practice? Will we see renewed interest in Blu-ray or DVD players?
My 20something daughter and her friends are into cameras. Primarily digital but she's got some of them interested in film. They find dvd and cd players interesting, often from a nostalgia perspective.
Not media consumption, but they're also quite interested in tactile hobbies. Building things using arduinos, fiber crafts, wood working. I need to pull out the scroll saw and do a comparison vs a laser cutter for amusement value.
