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 times. 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 jungle cat 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 a toddler can't stick his face through.

Do you wear ripped jeans?
