I don't think that I could ever pay $50 for a pair of ripped jeans; it doesn't make any sense to me. I don't want to buy a pair of ripped pants, since I mainly buy them to protect my body from being cold. I used to wear ripped jeans back when I was in elementary school, since I played super rough in them and they ripped a lot, but not anymore. I guess that it's just my personality to make use of things that you spend your money on, especially a pair of $50 jeans.
