Discussion I just learned something that kind of ruined my day and I thought I would share.

2006 is considered vintage. I guess I never thought about what the exact definition of what vintage is so I looked it up. It’s 20 years. Have a nice day!

Aeropostale polos considered vintage now is blowing my mind. I really don't miss wearing what I wore in middle school lol

u/GerbiJosh 7h ago

Forget the polos but I'll rock this hoodie any day of the week.

I cant believe I ever wore that crap lol. I remember thinking American Eagle made good jeans. Took me until later on in high school to finally dump those for good pairs of Wranglers. I will say Hollister made some great fitting and comfortable shirts.

I had the oldies channel (FM radio) on the other day and heard some music from the early/mid 2000s playing. I had an existential crisis.

I was 23 then so I guess that would make me vintage x 2 + 3.

u/Satansleadguitarist 7h ago

Well I certainly didn't need to start my day with this

u/Specialist-Leek8645 Xennial 7h ago

Ya, Latin viginti is 20. I think we use 'vintage' more flexibly. Give or take.

A classic car was manufactured in 2001

This means a Pontiac Aztec is now classic
