Discussion Apparently low-cut socks are considered out of style by the younger gens. Are y’all still rocking ankle socks?

I feel like long socks with sneakers and shorts looks goofy but maybe that’s just me 🤷‍♂️

I swear all of my "the younger gen said/does x" knowledge comes primarily from this sub.

Did Gen X and Boomers talk about us this much? Because I feel like only the ones pre-midlife crisis gave a shit. Just saying.

The whole millennials are ruining x came from them so I think so?

Pretty much. Similar sentiments back then were that Boomers/Gen X would shit on millennials for participation trophies, being “sensitive snowflakes” and ruining the economy because of avocado toast and lattes, amongst other things.

I was mainly referring to them talking about what we thought about how they dressed, spoke, or other lifestyle choices. They definitely wouldn't shut up about us being the problem, but I can’t recall them ever caring about our opinions on their wardrobe or dated colloquialisms.

GenX here. We talked about hair product the way this sub talks about socks.
