#recognize #millennial #foolproof
You can cheat mommy, you can cheat daddy, but you can’t cheat life. It doesn’t matter how young you feel, how much you spend at the barber’s or how much you follow trends. One glance is enough for everyone to know whether you are a millennial or a teenager. Seriously. The Internet is full of theories about how we differ from each other and how to immediately recognize who belongs to which generation. And one more absurd than the other.
First: socks. You can tell by your socks whether you are a millennial (i.e. a person born between 1981 and 1996) or a zeta (born between 1997 and 2012), and – to quote the classic – no amount of screaming and crying will convince us that white is white. white and black is black.

What do our socks say about us? Well, if you wear regular socks and you can see them sticking out of your shoes, you are a Zed. You use the so-called feet and you are showing your bare ankle above the shoe? Checkmate, you’re a millennial. A very practical method when you want to know what decade your interlocutor was born in, but you can’t see their face. Do you see a face and read that you are talking to someone who is in their late 40s rather than early 30s? Don’t trust your own eyes, look at the socks. Nonsense? They said so on TikTok, so it must be true.
Secondly. Shirt. Or a T-shirt. They say that the shirt is closer to the body, but this time we are not talking about that. If for some reason you can’t tell a man’s age from his socks, take a look at his pants. It may be strange (and not entirely process safe), but another tiktoker convinces that the method is reliable. Zets either tuck their shirt into their pants or don’t tuck it in at all. Millennials, on the other hand, have a trick: they tuck their shirt into their pants, then take out the fabric and drape it to make it look looser. Or they put only part of their shirt in their pants and leave some of it loose. So to sum up: you don’t see the face, you don’t see the feet, look at the pants.
What if you can’t see the face, you can’t see the socks, you can’t see the pants either? Don’t lose faith! Ask your interlocutor to make a heart out of his hand. Will he put the fingertips and bases of both hands together? You just met a millennial. However, Zetka can make a heart only with her fingers.
What if you only see a photo? So, a millennial will pose for a photo as if he or she were being photographed with a 36-frame camera (yes, I know, kids don’t know what I’m talking about). So a bit conservative. The zetka will bend, stand backwards, cover itself, etc. Are you saying that such a distinction makes no sense? And what about this?
On the Internet you can also find many more or less convincing analyzes of the behavior of millennials and teenagers on the labor market, their approach to life and their values. That’s cool, but socks, shirts and hearts made of hands are much more fun.
