Personally, I'm of the opinion that they aren't fashionable if they are ripped to be fashionable.
Ripped jeans are supposed to be the pants that you wore until they started to come apart, and you're supposed to be wearing them because they are comfortable, not for looks.
I used to skateboard every day every free time i had. I hardly had any pants that weren't ripped. It was kind of weird when it suddenly became vool and people bought pre-ripped pants. On the plos sude i never felt so fashionable
The 90s is back and has brought them back, but like extra. I saw someone walking around where literally their entire leg from thigh to calf was exposed. Looked really uncomfortable tbh.
I am not sure about fashion, but I have found that repairing clothing is pretty cheap. Even if you pay a tailor to do so. Maybe patches can be fashionable but I just don't want my toe to catch that little knee hole and create a problem.
You don't have to be a genius to see trends and what is fashionable. Stating facts that ripped jeans are in style doesn't mean someone is defending it, just making observations. I am not fashionable, and I don't care about trends, but it's naive to ignore facts.
Hitler was in charge of Germany in 1939, I stated a fact you wouldn’t accuse me of supporting nazis by stating a fact would you? So why are you saying I am defending the fashion industry for simply stating what a trend is?

When rich people stop trying to pretend that poverty is cool and that they are relatable.

Its a weird oroboros.
Poor people wear ripped jeans because fashion has made jeans expensive.
Rich people like the urban look of ripped jeans because their jeans aren't ripped and they want to look relatable.
Fashion companies make ripped jeans for rich people to mimic poor people wearing ripped jeans because they have to.
Everybody has ripped jeans unless you are lame and can afford to not have ripped jeans.
So there is like an income bell curve of ripped jeans.

This is why I have my jeans starched and pressed. You don't know where I'm coming from. Outlying data point FTW

Both good points. I like the feel of not worn out pants from time to time.

When who ever is wearing them doesn't look cool. And a lot of looking cool is giving zero fucks about other people's opinion of ripped jeans.

Lots of people still like old pants from goodwill. I saw a girl wearing pants that just had like two threads holding them together.

Are they not more cool the more their discomfort increases?

Clothing stops being fashionable when they are ripped or damaged. Full stop.

They can be fashionable and fashion can be dumb but ripped jeans are currently considered fashionable
