Is 1980 really Vintage?

From time to time I check out other craft and vintage markets. You the ones. I don't need to mention any names. I can't help but cringe very time I see the word "Vintage" and "1980" together on the same catagory. How many of you, when searching for antiques, look for items made in the '80's? I knew it! Nobody! That's who. When I think of Vintage, I get visions in my head of old linens and clocks. Rhinestone jewelry and hats with flowers adorning them. Not shoulder pads and Tupperware. Although, the Tupperware is very useful, I don't want to display it in my living room.

One has to wonder, how far will we go to make a buck. And why we can't "Tag" our merchandise appropriately. Just because it is old does not mean it's Vintage! Get a Grip!
