People still go out to events like concerts and holiday parties. Far fewer people casually go out to their local bars and coffee shops during the week. I'm pretty sure that's empirical.

Maybe in aggregate. But I can't speak to that personally. My neighborhood bar is regularly slammed. There was a line around the block for some novelty tot bag at my local coffee shop.

Could just be a Houston phenomenon. But this insistence that nobody leaves the house anymore feels more like Internet dogma than fact.

the downtown area of my home town is totally dead. it used to have a cluster of bars that were always packed, and it's all just gone now.

im hearing things about other us cities that my friends are living in, that they've all died as our generation has gotten older and the younger generation isn't interested
