Gen Z: Ankle socks are not cool

A culture war is consuming the nation, and it has even reached the streets of Milwaukee. Gen Z has decided ankle socks are uncool and only worn by Millennials, who are now old and out-of-touch. This "hosiery hostility" has taken over social media and has even taken an A-list actress as a casualty. CBS 58's Bill Walsh reports from the front lines of this sock battle and finds an unexpected group who is now dressing like the cool kids.

If you spend any time at all thinking about what style of socks other people are wearing, you might need to get yourself a hobby.

Anything gen z says isn’t cool, is cool.

There is no culture war between gen Z and millenials. Stop act as if there is. Just more smoke and mirrors to move our attention away from the important stuff.

This is yet another peak in internet stupidity and we're all at fault for giving it attention.

What I have noticed is the people who chose long socks over anckle socks have bird legs and no calf muscle. I'm 40 my biceps are bigger than most of these people calfs there just trying to hide it if I put long socks on you would think I'm also have a pare of shinguards on as well

There are lots of people in my high school (England) that wear ankle socks, even year 7!
