Boomers: Would you rather eat avocado toast or become a serial killer?
Millennials/GenZ: What the fuck? Uh, I guess I’d rather eat the toast?
Boomers nObOdY WaNts To SerIaL KiLl aNyMoRe!
Millennials are killing the serial killer industry.

It was very famously a white Bronco.
right and I highly doubt he's in it now. I smile at the one I see at work though :')
Some say he’s still trying to make it to Mexico.
Most serial killers had their own vehicle and house, and were able to keep those despite most killers not being able to hold down a job once they started the murders.
Try doing that today. You can’t methodically kill people if you’re freezing to death on the streets.
These greedy corporations are just saving us from serial killers by making it impossible to become one without financial ruin.
Plot twist. The serial killers still have all that time, but they realized the could kill way more people by becoming billionaires and exploiting them to death.
The other theory I've heard that makes some sense is lead exposure. From 1925 to about 1976, lead was commonly added to gasoline. Lead is known to cause psychological problems including irritablity and general mood disorders.
Pretty much everyone born during that period was exposed to aerosolized lead.
It’s always the quiet ones
so.... lead paint?
And leaded gasoline and leaded diesel and leaded aviation fuel and lead pipes in household plumbing. Probably lead in the cigarettes everyone smoked literally everywhere.
This is really great info. Appreciate all the links backing up the data too. Thank you!
Maybe would be serial killers just spree kill in a mass shooting instead...that has certainly grown since Columbine
Or massive amounts of lead poisoning
Nah. It's an industrialized, mass-produced economy now. Before the 90s, killing people was a bespoke trade. Mass murder was a one-on-one kind of transaction, each murder personally crafted for the victim by a specialist. The really industrial scale deaths at the time were the stuff of nation-states.
The transition of mass murders to the private sector as heralded by Atlanta, Waco, Columbine and Oklahoma City coincided¹ with the Clinton admin and the advent of NAFTA, which promoted mass industrialization of heretofore domestic industries².
Ever since, it's been death dealt on an ever expanding scale on an j cident-by-incident basis. A sort of Moore's Law of death and disillusionment.
I hate myself for even penning this diatribe, but the situation is so bleak it feels like no depth of dark humor will reallybshock anyone anymore.

I thought it amusing! Keep on keepin' on OP.
Millennials owning their murder house in this economy?
Back in the day you could afford both med school and running an elaborate murder hotel with some gruesome custom made contraptions. Now you can't even afford a simple murder house. What has come of this country.
And don't come telling us that cutting on avocado toast will suddenly enable us to afford a reasonable home with a decent torture basement.
Millennials will try anything once, one kill and that's enough. They don't stick with things
No one wants to ritualistically murder anymore
