Ripped jeans
Ripped jeans are jeans with rips, often on the knees. The fashion trend was started by Mike Brown of Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1989. Mike Brown was on his way back to school from his lunch break when he and his twin brother, Dan Brown, decided to take a short cut through the nearby church yard. As Mike Brown was playfully chasing his twin brother, he tripped on the sidewalk and realized he had ripped a hole in his right pants leg just above the knee. At first Mike Brown thought he would be made fun of when he returned to school with a hole in his pants. But instead his classmates complimented him on his new look and thus a new fashion trend was born. Joey Lawrence of TV's "Blossom", for instance, began wearing ripped jeans in almost every episode, thus further popularizing the trend.
They were popular in the late 1980s during the hard rock/heavy metal era and in the 1990s and 2000s during the grunge era, and were worn by grunge artists such as Kurt Cobain and fans of the latter movement. Worn and ripped jeans remain popular as they are still sold in stores. In the early 2010s, ripped jeans came back in style, as a 90s revival, but were sometimes introduced as Distressed - similar to ripped jeans, but the horizontial sewing point was removed to look like it was distressed.
Ripped jeans may arise naturally as a result of wear and tear. For people who are unwilling or unable to achieve this, jeans may be deliberately distressed by suppliers who may then sell the jeans with a worn look for more than a brand new pair. For example, Pucci sold “embellished mid-rise boyfriend jeans” for £600.
== Interpretation==
John Fiske sees wearing of ripped jeans as an example for his concept of excorporation, which “is the process by which the subordinate make their own culture out of the resources and commodities provided by the dominant system”. When wearing ripped jeans, i. e. products, that are used beyond their replacement date, one reduces the number of jeans purchased and thereby one's participation in capitalism. Those who intentionally display ripped jeans, are typically not poor but do this as a conscious choice and thereby commit an act of resistance. They take creative ownership of the product purchased.〔Fiske, John. 1989. Understanding Popular Culture. New York: Routledge. ISBN 0-415-07876-8. Cited in ()〕
