I think it’s health related, as the article mentions. >One executive in the entertainment industry said younger people were less inclined to go out raving until 6am as they were more health conscious and less frivolous with money than previous generations This is the same generation that has 12 step skincare routines, eats only organic food, chooses to vape or zyn rather than smoke because of secondhand smoke, everyone has an Apple watch on their wrist tracking calories, etc. If anything I’m surprised that binge drinking and going out late as survived as long as it has. And as far as the money comment, this generation is not less frivolous there’s just less money to go around haha.

I do find these kinds of articles funny. "Why are the younger generations not destroying their bodies like we did?" Maybe we just don't want to bro.

  > Maybe we just don't want to bro. There's nothing wrong with it (quite the opposite), but keep in mind that this is not a normal thing. Most generations didn't act like this.

    But most generations before us also didn't have the same awareness about the health risks associated with a lot of those acts unlike younger people today. And the generation after us will probably think we were dumb about stuff as well (eg. social media, disinfo, Delta9, etc).

    There’s some recency bias to that for sure though - silent and greatest generations were not as big on partying like x or the boomers. Of course things like smoking were more common but the heath risks weren’t as well understood.

Having seen this generation at music festivals, I kind of disagree. I feel like the current generation go really hard on drugs. In Australia, nightclub entry can be expensive, ranging from $20-50 per club. 10 years ago, you’d club hop, maybe going to 3-4 clubs from 11pm until 7am. These days, it’s not worth it. Drinks are like $12-16 for a basic mixed drink. A lot of patrons just drink at home, then drink (free) water and take MDMA and/or ketamine at clubs, which is significantly cheaper than a night of buying drinks.
