Well, on the one hand, at least millennials tried to channel their politics into political movements instead of things like music subcultures (Because saying Maggie three times definitely made neoliberalism go away in Britain). Of course, it could just be that way because politics has replaced music subcultures for some people, myself included.
On the other hand though, millennials just ended up recapitulating and losing many of the same battles the Silents and Boomers fought during the New Left era without trying to learn from the failings of those movements. Even the turn towards foreign policy with "multipolarity" on everyone's tongue as a political panacea reflects a inability to affect politics at home that the Boomers faced in their own time.
