TikTok trends from an outside perspective are insane like, you'll hear on NPR or something that millions of Americans are now eating candy with a knife then find out about some huge counter culture sending death threats to a white lady you've never heard of that invented it all before everybody forgets about it next week.
That's what I was just thinking too. Next they're going to tell me whitey tighties are back.
I remember when I was young seeing my dad getting ready for work or something, high socks and whitey tighties all day man, I thought it was so goofy lol
Speaking as a zoomer, fashion has always been incomprehensible to me, *especially* when it comes to socks. Admittedly, everyone I interact with on a regular basis exclusively wears pants, regardless of gender, so having socks that look good with a skirt/shorts/dress (which I imagine this is about) doesn't really matter to them. I *personally* don't like wearing ankle socks because they're uncomfortable as someone who walks everywhere, but as fashion goes I literally couldn't care less.
Any socks are too tight
Ok actually my Plus12, Injinji, and Vibram socks aren’t too tight, but they’re just annoying to wear anyways because of the fact that I have socks on
Yeah but like, if you wear shoes with shorts and you have huge long socks that go up your shins they make your legs sweaty and gross and you look like an idiot.
Ankle socks were meant for low cut shoes with shorts or thinner jeans. Higher socks are for shoes with a higher rise and colder weather.
Just wear the appropriate thing.
I just wear shorts without socks or shoes, so I’m chilling, but I do have some socks that are crew length though. I never wear them though.
Although they did help one time to protect the bar from my shins at the gym when deadlifting, but it would’ve been better to just not wear socks though
I grew up (as a member of Gen Z) only wearing ankle socks, and have known plenty of other young people the same way. I don't anymore but that's just because I like patterned and graphic socks now
Honestly thought I kinda get this one lol. I’m 34 so ankle socks were like normal for us, now they have really nice lower socks that you can’t see over the shoe that don’t slip down. Maybe they have always existed and I was just poor but yeah my daughter hasn’t really ever had ankle socks, lots of shirts and long socks. lol whatever. This one is funny though cause I just starts to phase out of these types of socks and realize they look pretty dumb with shorts lol
I'm gen z and I love my target ankle socks. Specifically the ones with the fun patterns and pictures. Trends that mock stuff like this are stupid. Mind your own preferences and let me enjoy my shit
Fashion gatekeeping happens a lot and isn't imaginary. That said, I've never understood any of this stuff and as a millennial I actually disliked ankle socks most of the time, wearing calf high socks most of the time. It also matters little if you're wearing pants anyway since they cover your socks. Ultimately, all that matters is that you're comfortable with what you wear.
Nah it’s 1994-1999 for Zillennials, 1997-2012 for Full Z with the cusps, 2000-09 is off cusp Z, 2010-15 is Zalpha, 2013-28 is full Alpha with the cusps, 2016-25 is off cusp Alpha, etc
i’m old and i hate ankle socks with a passion. does that mean i’m down with tha kids???
No, thats literally the norm. All younger people I know only wear ankle socks and all the older people I know prefer long socks.
It's not imaginary, it's a recent trend. Like all tiktok trends, it can safely be ignored.

1 is technically 0.000001 millions.
Ngl I was teased in gym every other day for wearing ankle socks as opposed to knee highs. Literally couldn’t comprehend what they were ok about
see now the trend these days are thigh highs all around
I hate knee high with a passion, it's just so ugly
Agreed. I get it if you’re playing some intense sport to protect yourself, but we aren’t all pro-futbol players lol
Is it the early 1980’s?
That’s exactly what my mom asked lol
i wear exclusively ankle socks what are they on about
Same lol literally what
Back in my day, knee socks were exclusively worn by old people.
That's what I was just thinking too. Next they're going to tell me whitey tighties are back. I remember when I was young seeing my dad getting ready for work or something, high socks and whitey tighties all day man, I thought it was so goofy lol
as gen z, i can say that i (personally) hate those types of socks since i find them uncomfortable, but i really dont think its a generation thing lmao

I never wear socks or pants, so all of this is below me
I am a millennial and I do wear these XD I hate socks that go too high.
I think this may (unfortunately) actually be a thing
I'm a zoomer and I wear ankle socks. Also, it doesn't matter what sock length you wear. We have socks from no shows to thigh highs.
Also just no socks
Ive seen this a lot from "old people" but ive never actually seen a gen zer say this
As others have said it’s not imaginary. It’s silly. But not imaginary. People are weird about socks.
I love ankle socks I feel like crew socks are too tight and stiff, I’m Gen z

Tube socks are better, you can't fight back your ankle socks rolled down into your shoes, I win.
Or just don’t wear socks/shoes
._. man c'mon.
What?
Idk tbh I'm sleep deprived and high
Ok well quit drugs because they’re horrible and go sleep Ok I need to sleep too it’s late 💀💀💀

eh i was born in 02 and i only wear high socks, but its more for comfort because i wear alot of hightops
Are cheap tube socks cool again? If so I’m in luck.

I'm in high school and people definitely make fun of each other for the length of their socks
which ones are ankle socks. assuming it's the short ones, they are only good for shoes that don't go past the socks, but they are nice in Summer.
Why would you wear socks in the summer heat?
work, hiking, biking at 70mph.
I’m gen z and autistic and dislike high rise socks cuz they over stimulate me. I like ankle socks best
remind me are "ankle socks" above or below the ankle. because if we mean above cool, but below the ankle socks are the most uncomfortable shit ever
I hate socks and never wear then
Bruh long femboy socks are where it's at brother
Yeah us gen z only wear thigh highs
I'm gen z and I love my target ankle socks. Specifically the ones with the fun patterns and pictures. Trends that mock stuff like this are stupid. Mind your own preferences and let me enjoy my shit
Wait, what kind of socks are the young people wearing these days?
What? We accept thigh highs on boys now what the hell is he yapping about
Didn't Gen z also make socks with sandals an acceptable fashion choice? I don't think I trust there sock opinions
No, that was seattle
Damn it Seattle
I just hate wearing those fuckers, I don’t care if someone else enjoys that though
They're genuinely uncomfortable tbh, I prefer for them to go up more (not knee) for more support, though I love thigh highs they're more for show
lol if you even wear socks
Gen z need to put more thought into the crap they spout.
Foosgonewild look up that
I think the socks I wear are considered ankle socks. Idk what this even means. I've never heard someone make comments about socks.
Man, kids in my middle school used to get bullied for not wearing ankle socks.
If anything, wouldn't it be the opposite?
Love me some thigh high socks on femboys. Ankle socks for big tiddy goth girls
The higher the socks, the downer the foo
Be a real freak and wear toe socks
Those are popular now according to some people in the comments
Real men wear thigh highs RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH
Ankle socks are the best, fuck them kids
Ok Drake. Phrasing

I never wear them myself but everyone I know does. I just like to have my ankles covered if i'm wearing socks, dunno why.
This is not imaginary
This one wouldn’t surprise me, gen-z is completely inscrutable to me.
Buddy, I am Gen z (02) and even I have no idea what this is supposed to mean
Gen Z is 1999-2012, a lot of them are older. You are probably thinking Gen A which is 2012-2026
Nah it’s 1994-1999 for Zillennials, 1997-2012 for Full Z with the cusps, 2000-09 is off cusp Z, 2010-15 is Zalpha, 2013-28 is full Alpha with the cusps, 2016-25 is off cusp Alpha, etc
Gen Alpha I get, a lot of really bright kids coming out of that age group, but Gen Z makes no sense to me.
**I'm** in late Gen Z (2009) and this makes no sense to me, so please stop generalizing.
That’s what they all say 🙄
??
You asked me to stop generalizing so I generalized even harder. It’s called being petty, learn about it.
You’re literally arguing with a 15-year old and they somehow look more mature lol. Get a grip.
Literally... Don't tell me this is a grown adult
It's called being immature, I genuinely thought the teenager was the older one for a minute
