    yes, ankle socks are millenial identifiers

    idc, they’re still better for most of my time (if they fit properly). they pack smaller, are lighter, don’t get covered in gunk that I can easily wipe off my leg but make a mess of the fabric, and don’t pull at my leg hair weirdly every now and then. also, like, I don’t need to keep more heat in, I already run hot as it is

    obvs there are still appropriate situations to use higher socks, such as wearing 6"+ boots, tick prevention, cold weather, etc

    edit: I just want to add that I don’t even wear socks in my flops flops when I shovel the driveway, so, my opinion should be considered with that context
