I grew up in the 70's and 80's and back then if you had torn jeans you were too poor for a new pair or your mother couldn't sew. I noticed a trend around the 90's of young people wearing torn jeans but I never seem to see any of those now middle age people stepping out with this look just young people still. Is it around the time you realize your heroes wearing the same stuff are actually just stupid bums or is it something deeper?
I remember having to iron on patches to the knees of snow pants I inherited from brother. I didn't get new clothing until I got a job and bought them with my own money.

Man we were poor as shit. One kid got the last one's hand-me-downs. If you got a hole in those jeans it was getting patched with a piece that was never quite the right color.
