When someone says vintage to me, it conjours up images of little tea dresses, victoriana and Vionnet gowns. Not a violently printed top found in the bargain bin of a charity shop - I'm all for thrifting, but just because it's second hand doesn't mean its vintage - just cheap!
People at my school say "vintage" because "thrifted" or "Goodwill" is seen as tacky. It isn't even semi-vintage a lot of the time -- it's like 5 years old. When someone asks me, I say "thrifted" or "Goodwill" because I don't own anything old enough and exquisite enough that I feel deserves the title "vintage."
And kaygilbert, I totally agree. A T-shirt is a T-shirt is a T-shirt, even if Alexander Wang's name is stamped on it. Cotton is cotton is cotton -- it's absolutely ridiculous to pay $50 or more for the same thing you get in a Hanes pack of three for $5.

apparently its still going strong here, in Moscow, Russia. It annoys me. Denim jacket and jeans combo is NOT cool! they look like they fell out of 2001 or something
thankfully I never liked that "trend"
Seriously? Wow, I mean I know it's popular and all but as tattoos? Though I can imagine a lot of the collage guys having Megan Fox somewhere on themselves
