Distinguishing whether someone is a millennial or Gen Z is no small feet, but a podcast host believes she has a sure-fire way to tell.

Phoebe Parsons, the millennial host of the FIT(ish) podcast, claimed all she has to do to figure out a women’s generation is looking at their feet for a certain “controversial” fashion trend. “Gen Z exclusively wears their socks up and millennials still wear ankle socks,” Parsons explained in a video posted to TikTok.

The pilates and barre instructor then showed that she, a millennial, was wearing ankle socks while recording the video. For a while, ankle and no-show socks were standard — but ankle socks started to make a comeback in 2020.

No guy, of any generation, has this problem. It isn't even on our radar.

This GenXer wears, exclusively, the divine Balega brand socks (they’re expensive but worth it). Otherwise, when I was at the TSA, I wore compression socks (job was such crap I bailed after two months).

Other than that, no socks, if I can help it.

LOL! Just last week I put four unopened boxes of L’eggs in the thrift shop donation box. Retired in 2008, but didn’t want to let go. Kept one box for church.

You are spot on. The world is falling apart and we are supposed to care about someone's socks.

Or, you could just ask them when they were born.   Now, they might fib about their age, but what's to keep a millennial from reading this article, and fooling people by wearing gen Z socks, or, vice-versa?

I was always taught to check a chick’s ankles and her mother to see if she would get fat.

The article doesn’t have anything to do with looking at a person’s feet. It’s about looking at the socks they are wearing.

Headline: You can tell how old a man is by looking at his head. Then the article expounds on noticing if his hair is gray or he’s bald/balding.

Women care deeply about socks. Especially if they’re white, and a man is wearing them with sandals.

All that matters is putting on a sock and a sock, then a shoe and a shoe.
