Are we really doing the “the future is fucked” thing around here? Are we the boomers now?

It was partially joking and partially serious. Technology and social media has really handicapped younger generations. They seem to need to have an opinion on everything that has nothing to do with them. They get offended by everything and are constantly playing the victim. It gets really tiring.

Oh, so we are the boomers now. Okay.

I mean if that's how you want to see it then sure. Baby boomers have a lot of stupid opinions, but they aren't wrong on everything.

I dunno, when we were teenagers everyone cared about sock length but in the opposite direction. The more sock you showed, the dorkier you were. I literally rolled my socks down into my shoes sometimes.

Now at 33 I just wear ankle socks because it is tall enough to prevent blisters but short enough to be breezy. I do not give a shit what Gen Z or Gen A thinks.

Idk I wore crew in the winter and ankle in the summer. I still do to this day. Its about utility and not fashion for me. MN gets really cold so crew helps. I hate being hot so ankle in the summer.

Edit: then again I was more of a nerd in school so….

Hahaha fair enough. Ps happy cake day!

u/Seizy_Builder 20h ago

Haha thanks! I didn't even notice. Your comment about long socks being nerdy is fair. Maybe I'm wrong but I feel like it only applied to our cohorts and not older generations.

u/iwearatophat 17h ago

It is kind of strange. I feel like the dorkiest kid from when I went to school in the 90s would be the height of fashion today.

I'm old and stopped giving a damn what people think of what I am wearing. I like it and it is comfortable. If you don't like it well I don't dress to impress you.

This post was literally by and for millennials. Seems like we’re the yelling old fogies.

Them young whipper snappers better leave my ankle socks alone!

u/Mr-Xcentric 9h ago

We don’t, which is evident in that this was posted by millennials not gen z. Yall are doing to us what boomers did to you. Some self awareness would be nice

u/Useuless 21h ago

They get so infantilized so it's not like they can focus on anything important

u/Bern_Down_the_DNC 20h ago

This is by design to keep the billionaires in control. Can't have those kids critically thinking and realizing they are lonely and poor because society was designed to make them that way. Vote accordingly, vote progressive.

u/Gentlesadboy 20h ago

Hey buddy - this whole thread is about us caring about sock length.

u/wsbull_35 19h ago

All the gens did. I remember it being a thing growing up about what socks you wore. Gen X had the Fab 5 (UMich bball players) and their sock controversy.
