I'm 24, and I really did not read this article as patronising. In fact, I read it as the author actually understanding my life experience thus far rather well.

I'm 24, and I really did not read this article as patronising. In fact, I read it as the author actually understanding my life experience thus far rather well. You're not the only commenter that has read it that way, I wonder if I'm too charitable or others are looking for it to be yet another "kids these days" article, of which there are many.
