I can't form an opinion on how millennials dress. I don't see much originality there; they have simply adopted an amalgam of previous styles. Same in music; previous pop styles continue, but essentially and generally have become more superficial and commercial. I am unaware of most current and recent movies and TV shows.
That nation crumbles which does not progress. What is progress? We have made much in our history. Our Supreme Court currently wants to return us to 1789, before any progress occurred beyond our initial foundations. Back then, only white male land-owners were full citizens. Women could not even own property. Not only were black people often enslaved, but many white people had slaves. This was an abomination, and because the perennially-backward portion of our nation wanted to protect their investment in slavery, a civil war was fought. Since then over time more and more of us became full citizens. The working class gained rights too, as industry expanded. We gained factory regulations, anti-trust laws, social security and labor rights, medicare and obamacare. Our society is not the agrarian aristocracy of 1789. Enumerated rights in the Constitution are not adequate today. Libertarians are spreading delusion. Neoliberalism is false ideology.
We have been regressing for so long, for 41 years now, that we are in danger of not being able to make progress anymore. If this happens, our nation will crumble. Is that what you want?
Generally, it takes the form of doxxing. If you're unfamiliar with the concept, this video gives the jist of it.
This link details some research on the nature of doxxing and the number of people affected. The biggest takeaway is that about 21% of Americans have been doxxed in their lifetime, and among millennials (who use the internet more than older generations), that number is probably higher.

This sounds like the opposite of censorship. Millennials are more likely to dox because they are tech savvy. But this also makes them more collegeal, because of their networking skill. They choose Obama over Trump because they prefer Obama's policies and because he's charismatic. Youth generally favor progress historically, except for Jones Boomers and early-mid Xers.
