So how is millenial/genz discontent going to be dealt with?
i've lost track at the number of polls i've seen like this throughout the decades as one of the eldest millennials and the biggest take away from every single one is that the ancient adage that we start to track conservatives as we age still mostly holds true. (i'm not sure if i should be glad that i missed the memo).
if things stay on the same course then political leanings will change; but watching Palestinian support drop from the high 60's in the late 1990's/early 2000's into the mid 40's today from the millennial cohort and watching genz do the same thing makes me believe that this country will be forced to change before our politics ever do.
I'm surprised to see this counterfactual argument here and wonder if you're acquainted with the history of the word:
Members of this demographic cohort are known as millennials because the oldest became adults around the turn of the millennium. Authors William Strauss and Neil Howe, known for creating the Strauss–Howe generational theory, are widely credited with naming the millennials. They coined the term in 1987, around the time children born in 1982 were entering kindergarten, and the media were first identifying their prospective link to the impending new millennium as the high school graduating class of 2000.
I remember this very well because I was a member of the class of 2000. 🧓 and yes, I do remember the 80s.

i'm using Wikipedia's definition of millennial and we turned 18 in 1999; definitely still children, but legally adults in most cases.
85 or 86 is a better cutoff than 81, if you were born between 75 and 84 you grew up in the 80's and were thus gen X
If you remember the 80's at all I don't really consider you a millenial
do you have a well respected independent 3rd party that agrees with this or is this your own world view?
