She Says The Style Of Socks You Wear May Be A Dead Giveaway As To Whether You’re A Millennial Or Gen Zer
These days, there is a lot of talk about millennials versus Gen Z. If you didn’t know, people considered to be millennials were born between the early 1980s and the late 1990s, while those considered a part of Gen Z were born between the late 1990s and early 2010s.
While the age difference between people who are millennials versus those who are Gen Z isn’t always that big, a lot of people love making comparisons between the two generations.
Everything from quirks to fashion to taste in music and movies between the generations is compared, and some get quite competitive over who knows best.
Additionally, many people have spotted things that clearly distinguish millennials from Gen Z, aside from birthdays and age.
One TikTok creator recently went viral for making a video about the kind of socks people from each generation wear and how they can be a dead giveaway as to which generation someone belongs to.
Phoebe Parsons (@phoebeacp), podcast host and content creator, made the video, and the ‘giveaway’ she noticed has to do with their feet.
“This is exactly how you can tell the difference between a millennial and a Gen Z, just by looking at their feet,” says Phoebe.
Phoebe then asks her viewers if the person’s socks are worn up and are visible or if they’re wearing hidden ankle socks.
“Gen Z’s exclusively wear their socks up, and millennials still wear ankle socks,” says Phoebe.

Phoebe then states that she is a millennial as she brings her ankle into frame and shows off her sneakers paired with hidden ankle socks.
While this may sound quite silly, Phoebe has a very good point. When millennials were setting fashion trends in the 2000s, hidden ankle socks became quite popular, and a lot of people hated the idea of their socks being visible with any kind of shoe.
But now, hidden ankle socks are starting to disappear as people of Gen Z are embracing socks once again. Just look at how popular Mary Janes with ankle socks has become again!
For instance, popular social media personality and model Emma Chamberlin, born in 2001, has stated that one of her favorite go-to outfits consists of a long skirt, scrunched-up socks, a pair of loafers, and a tank top. Since then, lots of people have been seen sporting this look.
Honestly, at the end of the day, you shouldn’t worry about your socks giving away your age. But you have to admit, Phoebe has made a pretty good observation.
