Sure. But the differences exist. They'll likely exist between the next generation after millennials.
And millennials will probably the feel the same way about them that you do about millennials.
As you imply, you're not the first generation to think this way
Differences certainly do exist if you sketch broad strokes and generalize. With regards to work-life balance, I see nothing different rhetorically. However, Millennials seem to have big problem with paying dues, being punctual, respecting hierarchy, etc. Not all, but enough to form a stereotype. And I do notice that they are the ones who are most likely to be fired in my company.
"Work hard, play hard" sounds like a silly t-shirt slogan. But it worked splendidly for us. I would counsel them to ponder it.

Funny... Talk about painting broad strokes, and then you do just that.
Am i supposed to take your posts seriously?
Millennials are pushing 40. Have families, mortgages, and many other significant responsibilities. Your stereotypes are fairly out of date.
And I've not experienced what you described. Perhaps you guys should get better at recruiting.
By the way, work-life balance is not about wanting to go get hammered after work. Although your perception that this is the case is a bit interesting.
I don't see how Brie Larson (or any one person) represents all millennials. I don't understand why some people and articles insist on these generalizations.
I do think that asking for someone's number just because they smiled at you is jumping the gun. I wouldn't call it harassment--maybe more being socially inept? If you're going to ask for someone's number, you could at least talk to them for a little while first.
Much of the talk about sexual harassment is referring to the workplace, where there's little escape and people have to deal with power dynamics.
The people you see on tv are normal and is how you should act. The same is true for the internet. Which is why we have to ban Nazis from the Internet or people will start acting like them.

You realize you are basically lumping together everyone under 35. Soon to be half the workforce. You may need to adapt.
