Do they? Most of the people who live and work in mountain towns are millennials, and I see far more millennials hiking, camping, and generally doing things outdoors than the older generations. Granted, I'm sure far more millennials live in cities, but many also prefer a 'simpler' life.
On a separate note though, the allure of cities is that they're nicer to live in than the suburbs. And they're where most jobs are. I think it's necessity more than anything.
