Can 80’s clothes really be considered vintage?

This is just so bizarre... it is happening.. life moving at an accelerated speed.  I still sometimes write 1999 on checks... (okay it happened once, but it really freaked me out, it was like my brain fritzed out and ran backwards.)

And then I start hearing myself saying things like THAT (above) and it reminds me of when I was a child and listening to adults say time passes so quickly, and I was like "blah blah blah... pa-LEASE... it can't pass fast enough... I want to be old enough to wear makeup, to drive a car, to date."  I am not sure if I remember when time switched from going really slow to fast. Was there one day where it was neutral?  Like an age-equinox?  For me, I guess it was in my mid twenties.

You?

Oh, right, vintage clothing.. so, can 80's clothes be vintage?  I think of vintage as something valuable, and the only value my "Franky Says Relax" tee shirt has to me is all the fond times I remember in it.. skating around the roller rink with leg warmers with my feathered hair wings that touched each other in the back.

Off to listen to some Depeche Mode.

i'd like to think that considering that specific style came out decades ago, it would be considered. take vintage sunglasses for instance.
There is definately nothing vintage about mens underwear in the 80's, especially those loose fitting boxer shorts. So glad we have moved on since then.
Goodwill is so cool. You can find great stuff there! I found a great cashmere tee, the other day-I kid you not...Sometimes you find stuff with tags still on. You have to go A LOT!!!! scope out your favorite thrifts and just drop in once a week or soGamaliel VW vans
You are scarring me, I am in my mid twenties... should I expect time to pass even faster than this??? I am not a big fan of 80's fashion style, in my opinion that was the most disgraceful period in all fashion history. I would rather wear funny tshirts than 80's apparel.
