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

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 11 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Fear of thigh highs, perhaps.

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 Loius 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.
