17 Things That Turned Vintage This Year

1.It all started when I came across the fact that "vintage" is considered anything at least 20 years old. Then, I was writing a quiz about Nickelodeon shows, and saw that Zoey 101 came out in 2005, meaning that, starting this year, it would be classified as "vintage." This, of course, distorted my perception of time, so here are 16 other things turning "vintage" this year.
