Yes, many people are spending hundreds on brand new jeans that look majorly
worn–in. Sometimes I'll buy jeans that look a tad worn–in, but it's not to the
extreme of the heavy bleaching, "whiskers" on the thighs, tears here & there,
and tattered hems.
Fashion Victim by Michelle Lee has a whole section dedicated to this and why
people are spending a fortune to look like they bought it at a thrift store for
$1. If this subject interests you, or you just like to read about trends and
current patterns or phases in fashion, I'd suggest looking through this book.

people wear jeans. What looks ridiculous is faking it. The
bleaching, whiskers, etc., doesn't fool anybody when its been done
down at the factory, and just looks silly.
For the life of me I can't understand why someone who wants the look
just doesn't buy used denim, or, better yet, buy a brand new unwashed
pair, and wear them until they are old. You don't have to pay
hundreds of dollars to do either of those. And people won't snicker
at you as you walk around mall.

The look of worn denim is timeless and will be around as long as worn–in. Sometimes I'll buy jeans that look a tad worn–in, but it's not to the
