What's Up With The Ripped Jeans Trend?

I needed a new pair of jeans so I went to Kohl's. It's a store full of glorious items and I knew I'd find what I'd need.

At least I thought I would.

I walked in and searched for jeans and I found this:

And then this:

I blinked, confused. Where were are the normal non-ruined jeans? I walked further and saw these:

"What's happening?" I said out loud, frightening a customer beside me. She scurried away. I suppose I looked perturbed, because a worker asked if I needed help.

"Yes," I answered, flustered. "Do you have any jeans without the rips?"

She smiled. She was either thinking, "Oh man, I KNOW, this ripped trend is ridiculous!" or, "Oh my God lady, get with 2017. No one wears non-ripped jeans anymore." But she showed me regular jeans that I couldn't stick my entire arm through. They were just in the back where the other uncool clothes sit.

I admit, I don't get the torn look. Why on earth would I pay money for ruined jeans? Some people might be all, "But it's the style!" and I'll reply, "But why? Who decided jeans that looked like they were in a fight with a lion or Gary Busey is the style? And why are people going along with it?"

People can wear what they want. But me? I'll always be in jeans that my cat can't stick his face through. Thanks.

Do you wear ripped jeans?
