I am sure it's way, way too late for millennials to become a "hybrid." By the time people are 17 (about the age of the youngest millennial, even according to S&H dating instead of the Pew dating which makes them about 24), peoples' attitudes are well formed and their generational identity is set. And most millennials are a lot older than 17 by now. Millennials are typical civics, which is one of the two great predictions S&H made, and both came true (the other was that a fourth turning would begin sometime around 2005-2008). Millennials are collegeal networkers, good with tech, confident, optimistic, outer-directed and concerned with the world issues, etc. There is and won't be any hybrid generations in this cycle. Gen Z is already typical artist as well from what I have seen reported about them.
