Fear of thigh highs, perhaps.
Ankle lows
I just don't like how they feel on my legs :/
Games Without Frontiers?
Phil Collins could be an American Psycho reference perhaps, but idk why they wouldn't use Huey Louis - Sports instead.
My guess is they are trying to say it's a millennial since it's claimed millennials only wear ankle socks or no-show socks and no other generation does
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

Erectile dysfunction meds.
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
Maybe it's the title, "In the Air Tonight"?
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. But I'm pretty sure all that was because of the original version of this song.

Punisher skull, either as a poorly done tattoo or somewhere on their vehicle.
Definitely on the rear window of their truck.
Don't forget both a Gadsen Flag and Thin Blue Line bumper stickers
The muted "ragged flag" vinyl stickers sized and cut for your vehicle's window dimensions, but all the stars on the field are Punisher skulls with blonde fright combovers
Needs a pair of 3Xl jorts, with a gut spilling over the waistband.
Or cargo pants with an elastic waistband
I've looked through the entire comments section here, and I'm still bewildered by the low-cut socks.
And In the Air…
That’s an awesome song and I hate seeing it associated at all with some right wing nutter. Why is it there?
I would have thought that awful Lee Greenwood song, Proud To Be An AmeriKKKan, or the Village People's YMCA, since Trump hijacked it for his white boy jack-off dance moves
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. Why wasn't Kid rock put on this instead of Phil you ask? Your guess is as good as mine.
That was the first thought I had. Who the fuck needs foot cleavage?
Oh i thought it was the weirdly smooth legs
Badass skipped leg day. Except at the salon.
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.
Its the ankle in the curve of life.
Those calves are way too toned for this population
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.
Probably more muscular than the stalks pictured, though? Those are the legs of a skinny man.
Very good point. Widen dem gams by 50%, I'd say.
shaved legs?
I mean...

Fun fact keystone light is owned by Coors. Joseph Coors founded the Heritage Foundation which made Project 2025.
Maybe those prohibitionists were onto something /j
