I realized I’d successfully gotten old when I was told ankle socks were out of style and didn’t give a shit.
They are?
IDK, I don’t give a shit.
As someone who’s been wearing crew socks for well over a decade (ankle socks suck and I like high top shoes and boots), you learn to wear what you like. Cool is always irrelevant in the face of personal aesthetic.
I’m still trying to figure out what ankle socks are, and all I can think of is the Physical video clip by Olivia Newton John.
Gen Z is wrong about skinny jeans. They’ll come to the conclusion that wide legs are more of a hinderance in their own time. Let them learn from their own mistakes, like we had to in the 90s.

Like I give a shit what Gen Z thinks?
What’s up with ankle socks?
Was just thinking I should get a couple more. They’re perfect for running.
I got concerned when formerly good reaction memes were added to default Microsoft Teams.
Clippy agrees.
Ohh? gen z dislike reaction gif?
Uh, who cares? Use what you want people
*Furiously nodding in my ankle socks and skinny jeans
99% of the time with this shit no one’s heard of it because it’s not happening.
Agreed. I’m not much of a contrarian, but I certainly wouldn’t value the likes and dislikes of a bunch of ipad babies who judge people by the quality of their fortnite skin.
Alright but I think you are incredibly undervaluing the experience when your tricked out Allmight skin starts to tektonik dance over the death pixels of a muscular Peter Griffin.
…tektonik is re-alive?
Thought that died out 10 years ago and got overtaken by shuffling lol.
Why should anyone care what GenZ thinks?
This isn’t something “gen z” thinks though this is just bullshit on Twitter
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.
I like how these things keep coming out as if generations are a homogenous group
I work with Gen Z colleagues that use reaction GIFs, I also know millennials that find them cringe
People like different things, you will always be cringe to someone
Millennial here, GIFs are cringe
If any GenZ want to know why I do uncool things even though you’ve attempted to educate me: it’s because doing so makes you physically cringe like an ice cube down the spine and it’s funny.
I think a lot of millennials are “button-pushers” (aka enjoy pushing people’s buttons) and love that kinda stuff; and if Gen Z wants to continue to get along with us, they’re gonna have to learn how to not get mad when we intentionally press their buttons. Like, the 90s and 2000s were the best time to be a button-pusher because trolling at that time was an art form and form of internet comedy. Sure, trolls could be infuriating, but you knew they were fucking with you.
Nowadays, the term has been appropriated and redefined to refer to someone who spreads propaganda. Pushing someone else’s buttons is now frowned on, not just irl but online as well. Sure, there are shitposts, but there’s sort of an expectation that you’re meant to ensure everyone is on the same page and not leaving people clueless. It’s not like trolling where you’re intentionally trying to mislead someone to fuck with them.
trolling at that time was
ana art formNo, “an” is correct, since the next word begins with a vocal sound.
Although it would be funny if that’s just a troll.
“Trolling is a art” is an ancient meme. Kind of the internet equivalent of a Dad joke, which makes the downvotes pretty funny, given the comment I was replying to!
So my instinct was right but my judgement was not.
You’re lying. You’re only supposed to use “an” before an word that begins with an consonant.
Of course. Silly me. I‘m not an native speaker, so excuse my mistake.
what I love about it is that it isn’t exactly “when the following word starts with a vowel”, but rather when it sounds like it starts with a vowel, regardless if it does or not.
my favourite example is “herbs”. In some versions of English, you say her-buh, so it would be “a herb”. Some parts of the world, the ‘h’ is silent, so it’s pronounced “erb”, and would “an herb”.
that concludes today’s language lesson!
FYI they’re either misleading or just wrong. You were right. An Apple. A pear. Etc
I just like my socks :(
I still hold by the ancient family tradition of burning trolls. Push buttons at your own peril.
“She had it coming” she said calmly, licking her thumb and rubbing ash from her cheek. “She refused to stop mentioning the game.”
Fuck I guess I just lost the game
I don’t understand why people think they can fuck with other people without provoking an unpleasant reaction. They’re basing it on one side behaving with civility in response to abuse, and that’s just fucking stupid. So yeah, burn the trolls.
U mad bro?
Nope, just mildly perturbed. *You
If any GenZ want to know why I do uncool things even though you’ve attempted to educate me:
Unless you’re talking about your own kids, why are so many kids trying to “educate you”?
They must have discovered that someone has a wrong opinion on the Internet
I do cool things because I used to be cringe but they changed what cringe was and now I’m cool. And what’s cringe now is scary and confusing.
i am gen z and find none of these things cringe
conclusion: the rest of my generation has absolutely no taste
When I was younger, it was just wild article after wild article claiming all sorts of dumb shit about millennials.
Was really funny sitting at work and having older co-workers tell me about these “damn millennials”, all bull, all while i was sitting right there.
Those kinds of articles are still being written/generated! They are laughably absurd.
The latest one I saw: “Gen Z, Millennials’ spending habits fuel dependence on ‘bank of mom and dad’”
Yeah, my irresponsible spending habits of paying rent and buying food! No wonder I’m a disappointment to my parents! /s
The thread wouldn’t be complete without a le wrong generation comment.
