Multiple factors: online shopping, a move to experiences from owning stuff, unappealing stores, and the same stuff everywhere.
There's an elephant in the room, IMHO, and that's the concentration of wealth and income into a small group of people. Boom or not, if you want to sell a lot of expensive jeans, phones and toys, a lot of people have to have enough money to spend on that stuff. The richest person on the planet only needs so many pants. If you want to sell a billion pairs, a lot of people need to have enough money to buy them.
