Holes With Jeans In Them.

Post Reply New Topic

Not sure if it is just me, but when I see young adults going round with holes in their jeans, I want to give them a needle and thread and a patch so they can mend them.

When I see it I think about the sweatshop trade that's being kept up--people paid 20 cents an hour to make pants that are already worn out, and which will probably not survive being washed many times. So a human rights violation.

Around 50 years ago in the States, bluejeans became the common part of the attire. These jeans lasted for a long time and it was very difficult to wear out. But then some kids got the idea that wearing nice bluejeans did not convey the proper image. They took the new jeans and cut holes in them to convey the image that they were hard working common folks. It was a fashion statement that exist even today. Every time I see someone with holes in their jeans, I think why did they damage an entirely good pair of jeans? It is a fashion statement for the elites similar to virtue signaling. And I cringe.

I don't wear denim, but the "ripped jeans" trend IMO isn't going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, the people who take part in this are just fighting against the "establishment", meaning wearing denim with holes is a subtle way of rejecting ideas created by the "establishment" that began in the 1970s alongside the beginning of the Punk Music movement.

When I was at the mall the other day, I saw someone wearing jeans with the entire front of the legs above the knees missing. I just don't get it.

I think it's a waste of good denim. I thought it was cool at a certain age though.
