Only Millennials Wear Ankle Socks, Apparently

If you wear ankle socks, then you are more than likely a millennial.

That's what this one TikTok consumer, Paige Mills (@bikerbiddie), accurately surmised when she used to be asked to bet the age of someone at her gymnasium she to begin with thought was 25 or 26 years old.

Paige stitched her video together with a separate video that asks the question: "What is one thing that would indicate that you're in your 30s?"

"I became friends with a girl at the gym and when I asked her how old she was she asked me to guess and I had thought 25, 26 this whole time," Paige began her reaction.

The TikToker persevered: "And then I looked her up and down, and then I said 32."

The woman Paige had been chatting it up with on the gym was once stunned at her talent to accurately bet her age. As Paige persevered her story:

"She said, 'Yes, how did you know that? Usually people guess a lot younger.' And I said, 'Because, baby, you have ankle socks on.'"

She went on to state, "The ankle socks will always give you away. Next time you're at the gym, take a look around. Everybody over 30, ankle socks. Everybody under 30, crew socks."

It seems that Paige's health club pal doesn't necessarily want other people knowing her actual age, as a result of Paige's socks remark had an impact on her.

"The next time I saw her, she was wearing brand-new crew socks," Paige stated.

Paige is not the only TikTok consumer to speak about this difference in sock dressed in, then again. Another TikToker user, Eva Gutowski mentioned this same phenomenon in a video of her personal.

"If you were a kid in the '90s or 2000s, why don't we wear no-show socks anymore? OK? I know some people are out there wearing their no-show socks but I don't know about you, I probably own one pair of no-show ankle socks," Eva stated.

She persisted to question why folks all of sudden look like they are allergic to ever wearing those socks once more. She endured to speak about this phenomenon: "And I remember back when I was in elementary school, if I showed up to school and my parents put me in some d--- tube socks..."

Eva then went on to bodily illustrate her aversion to her parents striking her in a pair of a tube socks through demonstrating on digicam how she would roll them down: "I would literally do this thing where I would roll them, like I would like take my socks and roll them and they would look so crusty ... like that," she said, appearing off her rolled-down socks.

The TikToker then went on to question why the socks have seemingly fallen out of style: "Just so that I could have socks like this. And I was so embarrassed because my parents would never buy me no-show socks. I don't know why. But, anyway, I was thinking about it today. Why don't we like those?"

"Obviously I know multiple people are still getting by just fine with their no-show socks. But I feel like the people that are like, right on the cusp of like millennial to Gen Z, or Gen Z, we do not f--- with those no-show socks. And I don't think we'll f--- with them ever. Ever in our lives. We don't know when or why it happened, but there is a shift in our generation where we are all about the tube sock now," she persevered.

She went on to spotlight simply how a lot people are still in love with tube-style socks: "I don't think I will ever go back to a no-show sock," Eva mentioned, once more, showing off her sock rolled over her leggings. "I will die wearing tube socks. I just have this feeling that we're gonna get old one day and our kids, when we have kids someday, are going to go back to the ankle sock."

She mentioned, while making use of make-up on her face. "And we're gonna be so stuck on the tube sock and they're gonna make fun of us calling us like old. It's gonna flip and it's gonna be our kids. Our kids are gonna flip it on us. But we, we're loyal to that d--- tube sock."

Several people who replied to Eva's video stated that they weren't enthusiasts of no-show socks as a result of they generally tend to continuously roll off of their toes, causing their ankles to rub in opposition to their footwear, leading to blisters and overall discomfort.

"They always come off my feet," any person wrote.

"They slide down or the back of my sneakers give me blisters," wrote another.

Someone else commented: "We realized no-show socks expose the tiny ankles we own."

There had been some people who had been still loyal to the no-show sock, alternatively, like this person who commented: "Still wearing the no-show socks."

What about you? What do you suppose? Are you continue to proudly rocking your no-show socks? Or do you think that tube socks are the place it is at — why would you spend the similar amount of money for less cloth?
