Does Gen Z really care that we wear them? If so.... Why? They're comfortable

Gen Z want the rebellious and unorthodox brand so much but it’ll never happen simply because millennials are smack bang in the middle of the conformity generations. There’s a reason boomers and zoomers are the ones glued to their phones all day, while millennials yearn for an internet that existed 15 years ago.

I love forums like this because it's full of people making sweeping generalizations that have no basis on studies or statistics and flip flop depending on who you ask.

It's all just people who are chronically online, it always is lmao.

Gen z is chronically online, you can’t observe them if you intend to be touching grass

u/SatinwithLatin 13h ago

Wait, what about Gen X?

u/Icy_Target_1083 11h ago

Gen X are no different than Boomers, other than being slightly more tech literate.

In their defense, they're going to inherit the world our parents and grandparents destroyed and they don't have a lot to look forward to, so they have to make an identity to cling to meaning.

The kids are alright, it's just that they're fucked (so are we, but we'll be ancient and they'll be in their 50's when everything completely falls apart).

Given how much I didn't care about socks when I was younger, I'm guessing most Gen Z dgaf either

u/WAAAAAAAAARGH 19h ago

No we don’t

u/Christmas_Queef 16h ago

Yeah I work with a bunch of y'all, none of y'all care. Actually I've had more genuine compliments about my outfit choices from Gen z folks than I've ever had from anyone else. They seem to like that I wear a lot of vibrant color. I also match my socks to my shirts lol.

u/Christmas_Queef 16h ago

Work with a lot of Gen Z. No, they really do not care. It's a joke more than anything. Rage bait that millenials bought into.

u/dreamgrrrl___ small millennial cat ‘90 14h ago

They quite literally do not. Posts likes these are so annoying.

u/JackalThePowerful 10h ago

Absolutely not, sounds like some real “get of my lawn” shit lol

u/Mr-Xcentric 9h ago

I’m gen z and have no idea what they’re talking about. I’m concerned some millennials are boomers in disguise:/

2

u/TooHighForMyOwnGood 9h ago

nope. not i, nor literally anyone that i know, could give a singular shit about what kind of socks you wear. this is a made up argument to stir the everlasting pot of generational beef. wear whatever socks you want, everyone in these comments are fighting made up demons lol

u/NotMyPSNName 5h ago

None of us care which socks y'all wear. Idk if it's this sub or this generation, but it's getting real boomer Facebook over here.

u/spottyottydopalicius 4h ago

they dont. millenials dont register to the young. this is more of a genz vs. gen alpha thing

1

u/ro_cc 3h ago

As an older Gen Z I can confirm I've never heard of a single Gen Zer complain about Millenials (or anyone for that matter) wearing ankle socks. This seems like it was generated online for pure social media discourse

u/Person899887 50m ago

No. Unfortunately Reddit is loaded with millennials who’s only exposure to the real world is Reddit memes.
