I think many millennials and zoomers recognize the hypocrisy of the boomers and the damage it's done. I'm hopeful that we stand in stark contrast to those before us and refuse to falter in our ideals.
I'm a millennial, but what is the hypocrisy you speak of? The world leaders are all armed with nukes and the choice was to either be homeless hippies who can't feed themselves or cogs in the capitalism machine. Unless everyone is ready to have the revolution right this second, the status quo will always prevail.
Here's a few examples. Also, you can get a job without selling out entirely. Although, I agree that most people have to make compromises as they grow.
