my first thought was this was a teaser for the netflix live action adaptation of the film, Goat, a Netflix animated film featuring a basketball playing goat
I almost never have to wear socks (i hate my feet feeling restricted and hot, so i wear jandals and sandals and crocs) but when I do, ankle is the only way to go.
The kids these days don't realize what we had to go through folding down crew socks to look like we weren't wearing any, feeling all lumpy and sliding down in our shoes.
So yeah, you can pry ankle socks from our cold, dead hands haha
They are lame to young people cuz us adults like them. Every time my teenage daughter tells me how lame i dress my response is “i would be a bigger weirdo if a 14 yr old thought my style was cool”. After 40 i’ve embraced that im no longer cool and dont want to be. I cant get with some of the new styles and thats okay for me and for them
I remember as a kid in the 90s we thought my grandpa looked kinda goofy cause he always wore flat brimmed baseball caps that kind of sat on top of his head. Now all of my nephews wear them that way. I actually think my generation was wrong on this trend. Curved bills pulled down tight so you had like no peripheral vision. Still kind of cracks me up though. I've lived long enough to see that these things really are cyclical. I think it's just kids wanting to be different than their parents and grandparents so like every 4th generation things repeat.
fashion cycle, they're in baggy jeans phase with middle parts, lowcut jeans are becoming more common they'll start wearing stripy socks, at some point someone popular will do a side part and wear skinny jeans.
Maybe, I'm not sure they have the same music separation we did though, so they're mixing and matching the mainstream and alt fashions more. I've seen curtains come back a bit so I assume that wearing open shirts over t shirts will be back soon, and once they're wearing shirts its only so long before blazers are in.
You are absolutely allowed a full pair of socks midwinter when you're not in shorts/skirts, you know?! You don't need to have cold totsies and ankles in the chilly months. Trainer socks are a spring/summer choie, surely.
I don’t mind competition but it really feels like so much of their things are rage bait. Poor kids had algorithms learning them as children, shutdown interrupted socialization and its no surprise they yearn for the 90s like we do lol
Nah man. Older ladies fought hard for panty hose to go away and I, for one, salute them. Not being required to wear hose to my office job is freaking amazing.
It looks like he naturally came equipped with socks, and shouldn't really have to worry about it. Then again, I can see his feet getting cold considering the rest of him is pretty protected from the elements.
I had an old girlfriend who made me shave my chest every day. Me being a naive late teenager who just really wanted a girlfriend, went along with it. I absolutely hated it. The time spent in the shower, the razor burn, etc.
But fortunately with time, I found one of the 30% women and when I told her I actually have a ton a of chest hair if I let it grow out when we started dating. She demanded that I grow it out. Married and don't have to shave my chest, it's awesome.
This ain’t hate. This is how dudes communicate to dudes lmao. Just light ribbing.
One of my best friends had full body hair freshman year of HS. He got it all - teen wolf, Sasquatch, Chewbacca, whatever you can come up with, we said it.
Another best friend has gone through weight shifts from heavy to muscular back to heavy and now to slim. We refer to his phases (I’ll change the name here) as Fat Steve, Muscle Steve, Fat Steve: Part 2, and Slim Steve.
The list goes on and on. It’s all in good fun.
In my close circle, we’re all undeniably supportive of each other and we’re friends for life, but that doesn’t mean we’re not gonna lightheartedly poke fun.
This was a weird stereotype I picked up on working in waterparks as a teen in the South. For whatever reason a lot of the black guests wore socks, and never anyone else. I’m not saying it’s bad or good just something I noticed.
I have ankle socks for summer and wool high socks for winter. It really just depends on how high my shoes go. My socks should just peak out beyond my shoes.
If that is sneakers in summer and boots in winter then that is fine. Function over form.
High socks hurt my leg hairs man. Judging by those gorilla limbs you got there, maybe you have the same problem. Also global warming and shit, I’m not trying to be any hotter than I need to be
Really OP should have seen this coming a mile away lol. I didn't even register they were asking a question about something. Just saw the photo and went "gatdamn those are some hairy gams"
I still like no-shows or low ankle socks in the summer. In winter I have taken to knee high wool socks. It’s crew socks with the cuff in the worst spot that I have beef with.
I will wear knee highs treated with permethrin while hiking in the summer because fuck ticks.
You mean the younger generation that has only heard of house parties in myth and boasts legions of hentai-addicted incels? I am unconcerned about what they find cool or fashionable. LoL (obligatory millennial lol that apparently they also find lame). Get off my goddamn lawn.
