Yes, they're coming for ankle socks!
People on TikTok are asking "Am I uncool?" for their choice in socks.
Like, this person bregrudingly retired their ankle socks.
Other people disagree with the ankle sock hate.

In all seriousness, next time you're at the gym, you'll notice that basically, only people over 30 wear ankle socks.
