What’s with the socks and Phil Collins? I do not know the deep lore.

Phil Collins could be an American Psycho reference perhaps, but idk why they wouldn’t use Huey Loius Sports instead.

My guess is they are trying to say it’s a millennial
Show threadRememberTheApollo_Mar 2
In the Air Tonight is Gen X, but I have no clue why it would be associated with any of this unless someone is trying to say a Gen X’er is the Gravy Seal. Wouldn’t surprise me, plenty of my generation are angry overweight wannabe badasses. The song has nothing to do with the right wing, though.

What‽ Ankle socks suck and I won’t have my generation slandered like this
Show threadGalacticGrapefruitMar 2

I’m currently wearing one ankle sock and one calf-length sock.

No god or man can stop me.

Have you seen the mass of flesh those things need to ambulate? They’re the only part of the body that has some tone.

Am a fat man, you’re totally correct. It’s weird. The rest of me is flabby but those suckers are like steel.

Why is Phil Colins there?

Even if it wasn’t the complete opposite, I don’t know why anyone would put it with this group

Show threadTheEmpireStrikesDakMar 1
Maybe it’s the title, “In the Air Tonight”?
Show threadgivesomefucksMar 1

Cuz it’s not the Tupac version?

But like, even before Tupac did that, I’m 90% sure “In the air tonight” was literally the song that made Phill blow up with the Black community specifically.

He got sampled a lot and would feature on tracks, which is common now but not 30-40 years ago.

Surely the best thing about that song is the little drum solo.

Weirdly, every Gen X, wannabe “operator”, tacticool, Gadsden flag, black rifle coffee, stolen valor asshole I know LOVES that drum solo.

This pic actually made me wonder if that was somehow universal among them and not just limited to the few dozen in my sample size.

Or maybe it’s just a good enough drum solo that nearly every white dude in the desertstorm1 age group likes it.

Show threadameancowMar 2
It’s a pretty old song that most post-boomer boomers grew up on. I had a sibling who was this exact stereotype and it was just 80’s rock blasting on his stereo well into the 2010’s and it as entirely overplayed music like this.

Or cargo pants with an elastic waistband
Show threadGreddanMar 1
Hey, don’t shit on cargo pants with elastic waistbands. As a very tall and slim man I have trouble finding pants that are long enough while still staying up, especially as I like to gain a few extra kg of fat before the winter months. Also the more pockets I have the better. Cargo pants with elastic waist and adjustable built in belt strap are peak pant technology.

Show threadberrodeguaranaMar 2

don’t bother, people have been bashing Phil collins since the beggining of time and nobody understands why.

Guy gets called annoying for releasing too many Top 10 hits during the 80s as if that was something bad, go figure how people’s heads work.

I guess low cut socks are considered out of fashion now. What the duck am I going to do with mine? Cotton socks are expensive.

Every generation selects its own desired sock length.
