Apart from one friend, the few cruiser riders I see are either old men going with the 'rocker' look or female riders who like the low seat hight.
I think it's a generational change; it's not that millenials don't like cruisers per se, but they're less significant than what they used to be in terms of how much they're shown in the media and what a 'biker' is.
[edited for clarity]
There's the rise of anime where your bike is either sporty, naked or a sporty flying pseudo-bike. Of course I'm not literally saying that anime is solely responsible for killing cruisers or that people buy a bike just because of Akria, maybe they don't even like anime, but it is one example of how cruisers no longer hold the monopoly in the media.
As for cruisers, they're more in live-action with Sons of Anarchy, and in the MCU Wolverine rides a Harley-Davidson Hydra Glide. Note that I'm not including films like The Wild One as that's exactly the point- they're from a different generation.
Akira (the good guys ride sports bikes, the bad guys ride cruisers. Although Akira's bike is arguably a sci-fi cruiser with its more layed-back style.)

There's the rise of anime where your bike is either sporty, naked or a sporty flying pseudo-bike. I'm not seriously saying that anime is solely responsible for killing cruisers, but it is an example of how cruisers no longer hold the monopoly on 'cool guy with a bike'.

Personally I like the laid back nature of cruisers: yes, I might filter some traffic occasionally... when I can be bothered but there's no problem just chillin' an listening to the engine an looking cool... I ain't tearing it up like some scooter boi!

Old Thread Alert!
