They won't be left wing as that is the established culture and the kids obviously are going to rebel. But they won't be full on alt right either. However expect with coming problems, this generation might be slightly tinted towards something alt rightish. So I'm guessing a sort of centre right leaning for the majority with a hey, your gay, that's cool, just don't shove your culture at me bra type of mindset.
The alt-right is mostly a gen X thing. You overestimate the influence of certain online contrarians. See some of comments by Camz.
Artists are not supposed to rebel until they have a midlife crisis
What worries me more is the growing abandonment of civilized values in favour of barbarism, both on the right and the left. Identity politics replaces individual responsibility. Futurist aims are considered unfashionable and nostalgia is growing.
The only Gen Zers I could think of that are alt-right are Nick Fuentes, Thomas Rousseau, Jaden McNeil (one of Fuentes' groupies), Naomi Seibt (probably), and some of those mass shooters from last year like John Earnest.
I'm not including those from the r/GenZ brigade from last year and those from r/zoomerright because I am not really sure what their ages are.
I agree with your last paragraph for sure.
