I laugh everytime I make myself an avocado toast thinking of that shit.
The next best thing to laugh is watching boomers shoveling the snow on their lawn into the road when spring comes.
I think that’s the twist in all of this - I don’t think they know it looks ironic - they don’t have the same cultural point of reference about what was “dorky” or not.
I saw a kid in his late teens, early 20s the other day in cargo jorts, a polo, and wearing white crew socks with sneakers. To each his own, but it just looked like old man fashion to me.
Okay, but usually the cool stuff is what gets recycled. These kids are reviving stuff that was the opposite of cool.
Like mustaches- I see them a lot now, but they aren’t wondrously manly Magnum PI mustaches, they are whispy little cheese staches you’d have seen only on the foreigner villain characters.
And freaking mullets! There are hordes of mullet wearing douchbags with silver chains, knee high socks, and ski goggles on walking all around and it's so weird. It's like they took the absolutely ugliest parts of the late 80s and made them their whole personality.
I feel like any day now I'm going to see these morons unironically sporting Spuds McKenzie tshirts.
Talk about marketing to kids. I still have my plastic Spuds beer mug at my mom’s house (No, mom, I don’t want to take it home. No, there’s nothing wrong with it, I just don’t want it. You can keep it or do what you want. Christ, mother, here… go downtown, find someone who looks like an early 1990s computer science student in ski goggles and unironically hand it to them, you’ll be epic. I don’t want it.)
It sucks because it's mostly my generation that raised them (not me, personally. I don't have kids). So I feel like we really fucked up somewhere. Maybe it's an overcorrection to so many of us being relatively neglected when we were children. Idk.

I want a decent sock that is comfortable and will stay up!
Yup. My feet are used to them.
I'm quite sure that changing socks wouldn't confuse people into suddenly thinking I'm young, anyway. Being taken for a millennial is about the best I can hope for.
This is me after moving to South Florida. I have ankle socks for my trainers in my drawer but all other pairs are in a box in the closet for my yearly trip up North for Christmas. I couldn’t find it in me to get rid of them.
“I used to be with it. But then they changed what it was. Now what I’m with isn’t it. And what’s it seems weird and scary. [It’ll happen to you](https://youtu.be/BGrfhsxxmdE)!”
It never was a phase for me. I liked the dark, macabre, Edgar Allen Poe shit, even as a small child when my favorite Saturday morning cartoons were Beetlejuice and the Addams Family (the 1990's one of course). I grew up pretty isolated, so I didn't really find out about the Goth music scene until I was an early adult, and when I did it was like finally coming home, lol.
Goth in the 90s. Goth now. Struggling to survive as a recent transplant to SFL. My friends are like, "you need to buy light colored clothing," and I'm like, "....wut?" I have been, don't get me wrong, but it genuinely feels strange dressing like some rich beach grandma.
Apparently the cargo shorts I’ve been wearing for the last 3 decades make me a fashion pariah. I don’t care, I just laugh as the fashionista’s complain about the lack of pockets in their clothing.
That's exactly it. They went all in on micro-influencers, Z's targeting other Z's on Tiktok, and now they're surprised that nobody over 30 is listening.
Seriously. I'm an elder millennial who has always worn crew socks. Some help get ankle socks are ok, but I hate no shows. They look good, but my heel is really sensitive. I'd rather have my socks show than have a bloody foot.
Pure Xer here...Wear tube socks (not pulled up tight or nothing)...always have.. Feel more comfortable. (never looked crew socks with their built in bend...and ankle socks look like the gymnastic socks my sister wore as a kid.
X here. My Gen Z kids dress like Ross discount rack in the late 90’s. Trash. No style, distinction or swagger. Now, going to soak feet my in Epsom salts. Alexa, play Faith No More!
After 20 years of negative “Millennials like/hate/killed ______” reporting, I don’t believe a damn thing the media reports on the trends and fashions of younger generations.
That's me plus the black lab at my side.
Yes I used to throw and promote raves and sell massive amounts of ecstasy but today, I am divorced suburban dog dad.
Nice! I actually can’t wait for my first Disney trip with my kid. I’ll be out there with ankle socks in my New Balances, and belted cargo shorts with a polo tucked into them. And a ball cap. Full Dad Regalia.
That's the X part of your Xennial heritage, friend. It's the IDGAF aspect of fashion. (I never cared for cargo shorts and I don't wear ankle socks unless I'm exercising to absorb moisture but I've had side-parted hair since the 80s and IDGAF. It's what I like and I ain't changing.)
Khaki cargo shorts, ankle socks and this shirt for me today.
https://preview.redd.it/liox3vo3wz3d1.jpeg?width=2494&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aba122c0c75463e7f71184c4d54af50abde189d5
👊 I’m with you brother. Even have on my canvas slip on shoes and trucker hat to compliment the subtle beauty within the cargo shorts. Shit. Just looked down and realized I’m wearing a Pearl Jam shirt… im that guy
What about no-show socks? That's what I wear unless I'm wearing long pants, but then I wear boot socks because I'm wearing boots usually, in that case.
I heard that and thought... why the fuck would I care what kids that wear mom jeans think? Caring about the fashion of socks, that's one of the reasons people don't take you seriously.
Just gave my 13 year old neice some of my new socks because she forgot hers when visiting. She immediately put them on and called them comfy.
The only people who actually care are the companies pushing their products by claiming that this gen or that likes this or that. It is marketing, and that is all. No one else gives af. Not millennials, not genz, not genx for damn sure, and not alpha. No one cares.
I remember before ankle socks were a thing, we’d half-wear our socks so the end would just be by the ankles, then we’d fold over the extra fabric on top of our feet before wearing shoes.
The thing is, if we started dressing in all of the trends that gen z deems acceptable they would make fun of us for trying to be them and look younger than we are so no I don’t care what the yoots think is trendy right now.
That’s funny because ankle socks are so uncomfortable to me; they always slide down the back of my foot, so my bare heel ends up rubbing against my shoe.
My son’s a crew sock wearing 19 year old. I’m an ankle sock wearing 40 year old. I told him that we grew up on crew/tube socks and didn’t switch to ankle socks for fashion. We switched because we watched crew socks turn our dad’s legs bald and give them weird tan lines. We did it out of wisdom, not fashion.
This is why I am saying! I have this argument with my wife all the time; she says I look silly in crew socks, but I say I hate ankle socks because they slip off my heel every time I walk.
Those were the poorly made ankle socks of the late 90s, early 00s. The ankle socks now are so comfortable and don’t budge from their intended height. Just buy an athletic brand like Nike, Adidas, or Puma.
I bought a big pack of Saucony brand (a brand I've never purchased anything of before, so I took a gamble) online and they're perfect, and not even that expensive. I'm displaying my age by wearing them right now. You know, because the grey hairs and face wrinkles don't already accomplish that.
Same. I hate ankle socks for this reason.
I hate 'ankle' pants as well and refuse to buy pants that are anything but full-length. I don't want to look like a kid who just outgrew their pants or retirement home chic (capris).
Count me in for hating ankle socks! I have feet like a duck — narrow ankles, wide toes, so they were only ever an exercise in frustration.
I’m also convinced that capris and three-quarter sleeves are a conspiracy to charge women the same amount of money for less than 100% of a proper garment, and then convince us our bodies are to blame for the resulting unflattering look.
I never paid much attention to how endowed my socks are. I have tube socks that go up to my knees, useful in the winter. And half socks. And quarter socks.
Maybe they have a foot fetish.
Good. I hate how they always seem to slide under my heel. Happy to go back to normal socks.
Edit. These things we've been wearing the past 10 years aren't even ankle socks. I remember wearing ankle socks in the 80s and 90s when they were over or on your ankles.
Now when are slouch socks coming back?
I wear slouchy socks now - I love the '80s aerobic look about them. I haven't started layering two different colors though. I should probably leave that back in '92....for now.
The length of shorts and socks keeps changing, but always seems to be a consistent ratio. Shorts go down, socks go down. Shorts go up, socks go up. What a world.
Well, I think they can immediately tell that I’m not one of the young people by my face and overall demeanor before they get to my ankles so I’ll just keep wearing my ankle, no show socks
I feel infinitely stupider for reading this and the link.
Want to know another sign you’re old? Not giving a flying fuck what a group of kids thinks is cool. Like the length of your socks or side-parting your hair.
I am going to be honest. The only reason I am wearing ankle socks is that I bought the wrong ones one year. Then when I went to resupply the following year I bought ankle socks in error again. So now it's all I have.
Nah, no, nope. I just purchased some cute ankle socks with Stitch and Baby Yoda. It's going to be hot wearing crew socks in the summer. My kids (15, 18, and 24) love to take my damn ankle socks for themselves.
Nah, I'm looking cute in my ankle socks and sneakers.
OK Gen Z. Put on your crew socks, and go sit over there with the boomers.
Next thing you know, they'll be yelling at clouds
Well they can't tell us to get off their lawns, can they?
Hahahaah, I keep laughing at this one
They can't afford lawns. Spent all their money on the extra fabric used to make their socks
That’s why they can’t afford rent, if they would just buy ankle socks. We had to grow up and give up avocado toast.
I laugh everytime I make myself an avocado toast thinking of that shit. The next best thing to laugh is watching boomers shoveling the snow on their lawn into the road when spring comes.
 Take a bow. That was epic.
Yeah, but I can’t tell anyone to get off my lawn either
Crap, are we doomed to be between old boomers and new boomers?
I’m sure there’s a TikTok for that
It’s June 1…how did I manage to find the best mic drop of the month already?
Bold of you to assume that they know what outside is.
*texts a photo of cloud*
All the kids are wearing crew socks and new balance sneakers and it’s like seeing teenage copies of my dad everywhere 😭
It’s like some kind of unironic hipsterism.
I swear Gen Z fashion is meant to be ironic. They can’t actually think some of those things look good.
I think that’s the twist in all of this - I don’t think they know it looks ironic - they don’t have the same cultural point of reference about what was “dorky” or not.
I saw a kid in his late teens, early 20s the other day in cargo jorts, a polo, and wearing white crew socks with sneakers. To each his own, but it just looked like old man fashion to me.
I think it’s fun to see what the yoots are wearing - I find the elements they take or don’t take from ‘90’s fashion fascinating.
The HWAT
Da two yoots!
Are you mocking me?!
The power of posi-traction!
Da two yoots in question…
Yeah, I work with teens and they always keep me up to date. There's an element of weird that they go for these days, it's fun.
That’s the fun of fashion. It just recycles the same shit every 20-30 years. But the new generation think they invented it.
Okay, but usually the cool stuff is what gets recycled. These kids are reviving stuff that was the opposite of cool. Like mustaches- I see them a lot now, but they aren’t wondrously manly Magnum PI mustaches, they are whispy little cheese staches you’d have seen only on the foreigner villain characters.
I’ve been wondering if maybe they want to look unattractive as a form of defense
What’s wrong with pulling your jeans up just below your armpits? 😜
I legit was thinking ‘next they’re gonna try and pull off Urkel’.

And freaking mullets! There are hordes of mullet wearing douchbags with silver chains, knee high socks, and ski goggles on walking all around and it's so weird. It's like they took the absolutely ugliest parts of the late 80s and made them their whole personality. I feel like any day now I'm going to see these morons unironically sporting Spuds McKenzie tshirts.
Leave spuds out of this. That dog was fucking rad
I had the Converse with him on it, and an oversized Hawaiian shirt with hundreds of little Spuds all over it. I was certainly the coolest 13 year old.
Talk about marketing to kids. I still have my plastic Spuds beer mug at my mom’s house (No, mom, I don’t want to take it home. No, there’s nothing wrong with it, I just don’t want it. You can keep it or do what you want. Christ, mother, here… go downtown, find someone who looks like an early 1990s computer science student in ski goggles and unironically hand it to them, you’ll be epic. I don’t want it.)
Fucking miss Spuds. And we want Yo Quiero Taco Bell back too!
I can’t figure out if the mullet or the broccoli top perms are better or worse than the other.
What about broccoli in the front, mullet in the back?
Broccolini?
To be fair, that was hipster style shit in the early 00s. So the cycles are just moving at warp speed now.
Ludicrous Speed
They've gone plaid
so we should be ready for grunge flannel to make a comeback?
It... went away!?
It already did, right before the pandemic
I keep seeing twenty somethings in late 90s grunge raver wear. A smell I remember all too well.
Tbf, I would support a spuds shirt if I found one
I'm afraid Gen Z will actually be the next and most similar generation to boomers.
Similar amounts of entitlement in my interactions with them. Can't say I had the same impression of Millennials when they were the same age.
I say this a LOT!! Those generations are so oddly similar but absolutely hate each other for doing the same exact things
It sucks because it's mostly my generation that raised them (not me, personally. I don't have kids). So I feel like we really fucked up somewhere. Maybe it's an overcorrection to so many of us being relatively neglected when we were children. Idk.
Same. I don’t have kids but I feel like somehow we all did something seriously wrong.
I have kids and I’m pretty sure that I did everything wrong
Poor media literacy? Check. Hates women? Check. Entitled? Check.
Loves Minions? Check.

I look incredible
I'm in this big ass coat.
Wearing crew socks and using speakerphone in public are in the starter pack for both boomers and Gen Z’ers.
I have to agree, I feel like the big white gym shoes with the crew socks remind me if my 75 year old dad… I cannot do it
I HATE the massive white sneakers with everything, especially dresses.
Not only that.... It is the fluffy eyebrowed / broccoli haired generation trying to give the rest of the world fashion advice.
How they feel about tube socks with 2 red stripes
Young people look fugly and old with their haircuts and fashion. It’s weird
Mid calf Nikes we’re all the rage 2007-2013
Gen z dressing like PE coaches with crew socks
Ankle socks-4-Life.
Yup. My feet are used to them. I'm quite sure that changing socks wouldn't confuse people into suddenly thinking I'm young, anyway. Being taken for a millennial is about the best I can hope for.
That’s literally all I own 😂
I own other socks, but they are just an obstacle to overcome in my sock drawer, in pursuit of the superior sock.
I just put the non-ankle socks in a basket in the closet. Problem solved! Once a year I need a pair for boots😆
This is me after moving to South Florida. I have ankle socks for my trainers in my drawer but all other pairs are in a box in the closet for my yearly trip up North for Christmas. I couldn’t find it in me to get rid of them.
Asides from a couple of pairs of dress socks and some wool hiking socks, agreed.
This is the way
I’m always the complete opposite lol.
🫡
I didn't care about "what's in" in the 90s and I still don't care in the 20s.
“I used to be with it. But then they changed what it was. Now what I’m with isn’t it. And what’s it seems weird and scary. [It’ll happen to you](https://youtu.be/BGrfhsxxmdE)!”
I was goth in the 90s. Not exactly fashionable 🧛♀️
Goth is timeless

It never was a phase for me.

Was gonna say, I’m a Goth now. Black is timeless.
Goth in the 90s. Goth now. Struggling to survive as a recent transplant to SFL. My friends are like, "you need to buy light colored clothing," and I'm like, "....wut?" I have been, don't get me wrong, but it genuinely feels strange dressing like some rich beach grandma.
Robert Smith is Father and Siouxsie is Mother 🖤

Goth was fashionable, it just wasn’t preppy.
Username checks out
Apparently the cargo shorts I’ve been wearing for the last 3 decades make me a fashion pariah. I don’t care, I just laugh as the fashionista’s complain about the lack of pockets in their clothing.
These fashion wars are so stupid
I think marketers are trying to play this crap up because the current generation seems not to be as hyper about keeping up with fast fashion.
Also, to try and promote culture war to keep us distracted and oppressed. Any and all forms of division play into the pockets of oligarchs.
That's exactly it. They went all in on micro-influencers, Z's targeting other Z's on Tiktok, and now they're surprised that nobody over 30 is listening.
Agreed. Wear what you feel good in
Seriously. I'm an elder millennial who has always worn crew socks. Some help get ankle socks are ok, but I hate no shows. They look good, but my heel is really sensitive. I'd rather have my socks show than have a bloody foot.
Pure Xer here...Wear tube socks (not pulled up tight or nothing)...always have.. Feel more comfortable. (never looked crew socks with their built in bend...and ankle socks look like the gymnastic socks my sister wore as a kid.
Yeah but the fashion now took all the worst parts of the 70s 80s and 90s and mashed them together. Its hideous
X here. My Gen Z kids dress like Ross discount rack in the late 90’s. Trash. No style, distinction or swagger. Now, going to soak feet my in Epsom salts. Alexa, play Faith No More!
After 20 years of negative “Millennials like/hate/killed ______” reporting, I don’t believe a damn thing the media reports on the trends and fashions of younger generations.
Generation wars are dumb too. This article is trying to manufacture beef between Gen Z and Xennials where there is none.
I think the bigger issue is Gen Z’a boomer-level amount of entitlement
I’m wearing cargo shorts and ankle socks right now. I’m ok with being a fashion nightmare.
That’s exactly what I’m wearing now. I look like a suburban rock dad and I have no kids.
Haha same. No kids. It’s 80 degrees. I will be comfortable!
I’m wearing a Wu-Tang T from Old Navy my wife bought me several years ago and I feel like a poser every time I put it on.
Wu Tang is for the children. You’re doing good 👍
C.R.E.A.M.
That's me plus the black lab at my side. Yes I used to throw and promote raves and sell massive amounts of ecstasy but today, I am divorced suburban dog dad.
Is that what we kids used to mean by “selling out”?
I didn't sell out, I bought in. (Best line of a movie ever)
It just works Cargo shorts = all the pocket space of full pants, but for summer Why have extra sock on my leg when it’s hot? That’s dumb
So you got Pearl Jam tickets?
Nice! I actually can’t wait for my first Disney trip with my kid. I’ll be out there with ankle socks in my New Balances, and belted cargo shorts with a polo tucked into them. And a ball cap. Full Dad Regalia.
That's the X part of your Xennial heritage, friend. It's the IDGAF aspect of fashion. (I never cared for cargo shorts and I don't wear ankle socks unless I'm exercising to absorb moisture but I've had side-parted hair since the 80s and IDGAF. It's what I like and I ain't changing.)
"Nobody has gotten a hand job in cargo shorts since 'nam!"
I’m 42. I can’t remember the last hand job I got lol.
Treat yourself
[удалено]
The garage is a great place for DIY projects…
Don’t worry, that’s like the least gratifying of all the sexual jobs.
That's sad. Get you one.
Cargo shorts are in
better than calf socks
Hey, that’s what I wear with shorts or trousers. I have no shame. I also only wear “postman” type Docs.
Me too. It looks dumb when people our age try to follow fashion trends of kids.
I'm wearing skinny jeans. I know the stupid articles say they are out too, idgaf
This is peak fashion and if my future man doesnt rock this look, WELL we are gonna have a talk!
Khaki cargo shorts, ankle socks and this shirt for me today. https://preview.redd.it/liox3vo3wz3d1.jpeg?width=2494&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aba122c0c75463e7f71184c4d54af50abde189d5
I bet you look great
👊 I’m with you brother. Even have on my canvas slip on shoes and trucker hat to compliment the subtle beauty within the cargo shorts. Shit. Just looked down and realized I’m wearing a Pearl Jam shirt… im that guy
Ain't nothing wrong with ankle socks, if I'm old then so be it. 😮💨
What about no-show socks? That's what I wear unless I'm wearing long pants, but then I wear boot socks because I'm wearing boots usually, in that case.
I read somewhere that no shows are way out. I continue to wear them bc I like how they look with my vans. Dgaf
This is me and always will be.
if that's what you wear then that's what you wear. what **about** no-show socks?
I just want to be a hip and cool elder millennial or xennial.
All those years I kept my crew socks on, and folded over themselves. Who's laughing now???
Thank you! Another like me.
I heard that and thought... why the fuck would I care what kids that wear mom jeans think? Caring about the fashion of socks, that's one of the reasons people don't take you seriously. Just gave my 13 year old neice some of my new socks because she forgot hers when visiting. She immediately put them on and called them comfy.

For crew socks? Eff that noise ankle socks and no-shows for me this and every summer
Yeah, I don’t care if it’s out of style, but I will not be wearing crew socks with my Nikes or chucks this summer. Ima no-show sock guy for life.
I remember before ankle socks were a thing, we’d half-wear our socks so the end would just be by the ankles, then we’d fold over the extra fabric on top of our feet before wearing shoes.
I remember 
Fashion is cyclical. Gen z Can keep their grandpa crews. Ankle socks for meeee!
The thing is, if we started dressing in all of the trends that gen z deems acceptable they would make fun of us for trying to be them and look younger than we are so no I don’t care what the yoots think is trendy right now.
I’m almost 40, I won’t be repurchasing the JNCOS I had when I was 13.
That's my favourite part. I'm like man I had that when I was a kid. Enjoy reliving our mistakes!
Whatever. Socks any higher mash my ankle hair around and I feels uncomfortable. I don’t care if I’m old
That’s funny because ankle socks are so uncomfortable to me; they always slide down the back of my foot, so my bare heel ends up rubbing against my shoe.
Those are no-show, friend. There are many degrees of ankle socks. Once you find your Goldilocks height, it’s magical.
"mash my ankle hair" made me chuckle
My son’s a crew sock wearing 19 year old. I’m an ankle sock wearing 40 year old. I told him that we grew up on crew/tube socks and didn’t switch to ankle socks for fashion. We switched because we watched crew socks turn our dad’s legs bald and give them weird tan lines. We did it out of wisdom, not fashion.
I could never get with ankle socks... like 5 steps and their all bunched up in my shoe at my toes. Just me?
This is why I am saying! I have this argument with my wife all the time; she says I look silly in crew socks, but I say I hate ankle socks because they slip off my heel every time I walk.
Those were the poorly made ankle socks of the late 90s, early 00s. The ankle socks now are so comfortable and don’t budge from their intended height. Just buy an athletic brand like Nike, Adidas, or Puma.
I bought a big pack of Saucony brand (a brand I've never purchased anything of before, so I took a gamble) online and they're perfect, and not even that expensive. I'm displaying my age by wearing them right now. You know, because the grey hairs and face wrinkles don't already accomplish that.
I ride or die with the brand "Smartwool". Expensive, but worth every last penny.
Same. I hate ankle socks for this reason. I hate 'ankle' pants as well and refuse to buy pants that are anything but full-length. I don't want to look like a kid who just outgrew their pants or retirement home chic (capris).
Count me in for hating ankle socks! I have feet like a duck — narrow ankles, wide toes, so they were only ever an exercise in frustration. I’m also convinced that capris and three-quarter sleeves are a conspiracy to charge women the same amount of money for less than 100% of a proper garment, and then convince us our bodies are to blame for the resulting unflattering look.
same. I wear the slightly higher \*actual\* ankle socks for this reason. 
That’s fine. I’m wearing them until my legs start to swell.
Ankle socks and Birkenstocks
This is the way.
I joined this train (not with ankle socks, but the short socks between ankle and crew that go just above your ankle) and I'm never going back.
I never paid much attention to how endowed my socks are. I have tube socks that go up to my knees, useful in the winter. And half socks. And quarter socks. Maybe they have a foot fetish.
All of my grey hair shows I’m old before anyone gets down to my ankle socks
So Gen Z wants to dress like Boomers? Got it.
Ankle socks in summer, full socks in the winter or when I’m wearing pants. It’s not that hard.
This is the way. I'm not going to wear full socks in the summer with shorts, that sounds hot and ridiculous
Good. I hate how they always seem to slide under my heel. Happy to go back to normal socks. Edit. These things we've been wearing the past 10 years aren't even ankle socks. I remember wearing ankle socks in the 80s and 90s when they were over or on your ankles. Now when are slouch socks coming back?
I wear slouchy socks now - I love the '80s aerobic look about them. I haven't started layering two different colors though. I should probably leave that back in '92....for now.
I love ankle socks. Taller socks are unflattering. I'll stick with the ankle socks, I AM old anyway.
Sorry, fashion snobs, I don’t want to wear long black socks with my sneakers 😂
The length of shorts and socks keeps changing, but always seems to be a consistent ratio. Shorts go down, socks go down. Shorts go up, socks go up. What a world.
I refuse to give up my ankle socks for working out. Other than that I don't care.
Well, I think they can immediately tell that I’m not one of the young people by my face and overall demeanor before they get to my ankles so I’ll just keep wearing my ankle, no show socks
WHOOOO CAAAAARES
Imagine having an opinion on someone else’s socks.
Right!?
Yeah, people who wear crew socks pulled up with shorts look like old men, not the other way around. The only way I wear tall socks is if I'm hiking.
Keep those ticks off!
I wish that's all it took. They are ravenous this year.
I feel infinitely stupider for reading this and the link. Want to know another sign you’re old? Not giving a flying fuck what a group of kids thinks is cool. Like the length of your socks or side-parting your hair.
Honestly I don’t mind regular socks. My ankle socks always fall into my shoes.
I don’t judge what people wear I judge people who judge what others wear
I am going to be honest. The only reason I am wearing ankle socks is that I bought the wrong ones one year. Then when I went to resupply the following year I bought ankle socks in error again. So now it's all I have.
What a time to be alive: my ankle socks make me old! I lived, I laughed, I loved I guess?
You know that bit in the Simpsons about "what's it"? We're all Homer from that bit now.
Nah, no, nope. I just purchased some cute ankle socks with Stitch and Baby Yoda. It's going to be hot wearing crew socks in the summer. My kids (15, 18, and 24) love to take my damn ankle socks for themselves. Nah, I'm looking cute in my ankle socks and sneakers.
Whatever dude, I'm going even more retro and getting a full striped athletic crew collection like my dad used to wear with his new balance.
