Wait…what’s going on with ankle socks? Like the shorter socks you wear with sneakers and shorts when you go running? There is now something wrong with that?
Yeah this is my first time hearing this. I don’t care what the kids are saying, crew socks with pants and ankle socks with shorts.
They trigger my autism. I don’t care if other people wear them.
The gen that brought back mullets and serial killer glasses think my fashion choices are cringe?
I’ll allow them to wear what they like and we’ll both shut up about it, thanks.
Agreed, but I for one love the mullets
You are objectively wrong!
But folks are allowed to like things that I don’t.
You do you.
Calm down, boomer. You’re just jealous your hairline is disappearing faster than your chances of retiring someday. I, on the other hand, will never retire. But I have a luscious, full mullet to get me through these trying times
hmm i will protest this with reaction gifs
What’s up with ankle socks?
Was just thinking I should get a couple more. They’re perfect for running.
As a millennial I’ma have to just come out and say it:
The way we’re all pilling on gen-z and saying they’re all dumb for this… It’s giving Boomer. Not a good look.
Even assuming this was really posted by a gen-z, we can still do our own thing while they make whatever the new cool thing is. We don’t have to try to be cool forever. We’re old now, folks, it’s ok
Unless I’m reading it wrong, both people here are trying to look cool in front of Gen Z, and are giving up things they like in order to accomplish that.
My general understanding is that the Millenials really like Gen Z. I know I do, they seem funnier, smarter and more socially conscious than the groups I grew up with.
Gen Z here. Your interpretation seems correct to me, but I’m also on the way older end of the generation.
Contrary to popular belief, it’s super common for millenials to hate on gen Z for stupid stuff the same way boomers do, but this thread is not an example of it. It’s just a bunch of people saying “do what you want, don’t need to be cool” and playful teasing.Also, it might just be because I’m on the older end, but I haven’t even heard of anybody from my generation cringing at any of these things. Either there’s a bigger divide between older and younger than I thought, or we’re getting accidentally lumped in with gen alpha again.
My youngest sister (turning 18) compared me to my boomer aunt, when I was using gifs in a chat with her. I’m in my 30s, being told you are the same as one of the most boomer persons you know, caused some form of psychic damage I wasn’t prepared for…
Huh. Most of my friends are in the older gen Z and younger millenial range and reaction GIFs are everywhere in every chat we have. I’m just about the only one who doesn’t use them, and it’s not because I find them cringy, they’re just not my style.
You’re reading it right. Not sure how one could read this any other way.
However, misunderstanding content online is often framed as a boomer thing so OP’s comment still works surprisingly well.
Quit trying to impress children. Who gives a shit what their preferences are.
Gen Z is almost 30
Yeah. Gen Z is getting boring.
Can we divide out the next generation already so we can make the same claims about them we’ve been making for 500 years again?
No.
Stop making new generations.
Whoever’s doing it really sucks at coming up with names.
Gen AA
About to turn 27 and the existential dread is really kicking in.
They’ve got like 3 years left.
Signed, 28 year old millennial.
Like they said: children.
I ain’t trying to impress people in their 20’s then. And I’m going to laugh as they try to keep up with these broken ass skibidi toilet kids.

I understand using generations as an aid to statisticians dividing populations but using generations to generalise behaviour is weaponising age in a way that shouldn’t happen (as a test swap out a generation comment for a body type or your homophobic slang of choice)
OK Boomer
Ok coomer
ok cooter
They took nothing you didnt give them
My feet sweat. It’s hot in Texas. I wear no show socks. Am I cool?
It’s hot
Am I cool?
Get Einstein here
Yes. But only if you time travel back to y 2000.
No but it’s unrelated to your fashion
Ohh? gen z dislike reaction gif?
Like I give a shit what Gen Z thinks?
