Gen Z is at it again.
First, they came for skinny jeans.

Then they came for side parts.
Now it's about socks.
A TikTok that says you can tell someone from Gen Z apart from a millennial based on the socks they are wearing at the gym is going viral.
Gen Z wears crew socks, and millennials/everyone else wears ankle socks.
someone said they can tell millennials apart from gen z at the gym bc gen z wears crew socks and millennials wear ankle socks lmao

Yes, they're coming for ankle socks!
People on TikTok are asking "Am I uncool?" for their choice in socks.

Other people disagree with the ankle sock hate.
the biggest problem with Gen Z is that they made ankle socks unacceptable

"Gen Z will never scare me out of wearing a side part or ankle socks!" this millennial screamed.

"I think one thing I am willing to take from Gen Z is to ditch ankle socks and wear crew socks instead," one person said.
I think one thing I am willing to take from Gen Z is to ditch ankle socks and wear half crew socks instead.

Another person said they always thought ankle socks were ugly: "I always had trouble getting them to stay on my feet."

In all seriousness, next time you're at the gym, you'll notice that basically, only people over 30 wear ankle socks.
I got one crew sock on and one ankle sock on. I’m cool on one side and a millennial loser on the other. pic.twitter.com/V9mdPiVbIX
