A bobbysoxer was a term used in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s to refer to a young teenage girl who wore white ankle socks with turned-down cuffs. Some synonyms for the term bobbysoxer include sock hopper, teenage fan, or simply a young admirer. These terms all capture the youth and enthusiasm that were associated with bobbysoxers during the post-war era. Today, bobbysoxers may be more commonly known as fanatic followers of fame, music, or fashion trends. However, the spirit of the bobbysoxer remains a nostalgic symbol of an era of youthful rebellion and energy.
