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

Fear of thigh highs, perhaps.

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

RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 180d

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

GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 180d

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

No god or man can stop me.

RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 180d

The Phil Collins is because of Vegeta.

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

DakRalter@thelemmy.club · 5 pts · 182d (3 replies)

Maybe it's the title, "In the Air Tonight"?

givesomefucks@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 182d

Cuz it's not the Tupac version?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqZuKjJiuQA

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.

Blackmist@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 180d (1 reply)

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.

Punisher skull, either as a poorly done tattoo or somewhere on their vehicle.

Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works · 11 pts · 181d

Definitely on the rear window of their truck.

brown567@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 181d

Don't forget both a Gadsen Flag and Thin Blue Line bumper stickers

numbermess@fedia.io · 4 pts · 181d

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

Those calves are way too toned for this population

Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 16 pts · 182d (3 replies)

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

teslekova@sh.itjust.works · 7 pts · 181d (2 replies)

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

bus_factor@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 181d (1 reply)

Probably more muscular than the stalks pictured, though? Those are the legs of a skinny man.

teslekova@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 181d

Very good point. Widen dem gams by 50%, I'd say.

Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works · 17 pts · 182d (3 replies)

Needs a pair of 3Xl jorts, with a gut spilling over the waistband.

Or cargo pants with an elastic waistband

QuandaleDingle@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 181d (9 replies)

I've looked through the entire comments section here, and I'm still bewildered by the low-cut socks.

RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 180d (3 replies)

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?

Generica@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 180d (1 reply)

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

Generica@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 180d

Trump jackin a cock in the air

berrodeguarana@lemmy.eco.br · 3 pts · 180d

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?

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.

postmateDumbass@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 180d

Every generation selects its own desired sock length.

Its the ankle in the curve of life.

captainlezbian@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 180d

Well it's not like the misspelled tattoos went anywhere

criss_cross@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 180d

It’s missing a confederate flag and “don’t tread on me” tattoo

BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 180d

It's missing a body bag for them.

The truck needs more headlights and brighter.
