What possibly comes up in your mind when the notion of 'vintage' is brought up? Well, yes other than it being too extortionate for us broke people, what else comes up? Maybe those vintage clothing which is currently a hot commodity on the internet or some exceptionally attractive artifacts.

Whatever that may be, one thing's for sure that the vintage carries memories and in some sense, immortality too. But again, what impels us to call the vintage modules immortal? Is it because we are forced to embrace it as a part of antiquity? Or maybe it's our conscious willingness to wrap ourselves around these vintage items as a means of flaunting? Did I speak your mind? I guess I did.
More often than not, we come across vintages through window-shopping and other forms of surface gazing. Yes, I got you, going slightly off-tangent but I will get back to the point. The whole concept of "vintage corresponding to immortality" finds its origin in our excitement. Getting our hands on these items gives us an unmatched pleasure and our desperate mind likes to keep it as cloak and dagger. We don't want anyone to give our dear items the evil eye. Immortality is undeniably associated with having an attribute that pulls something apart from the rest, and vintage surely fulfills this benchmark. You know what, low-key all of us want to gain possession of such items, please don't lie. Come on, it puts us slightly above others.

Vintage always keeps the memories as fresh as a daisy, alive in our minds. Imagine you sitting in your resting chair and your grandchild runs up to you asking about the " Boat Bluetooth speaker" you've set a great store on. It wouldn't take you seconds to harp on about the memories associated with that Bluetooth speaker of yours. The same goes for a song or a celebrity. This time your grandchild asks about Lil NasX and you start rapping the whole verse of old town road! Man, vintage music was something otherwise, why would they make a remix out of it? Sorry, I meant to say why would they ruin it?!
Chill, I'm not going to bore you, just trying to raise a few eyebrows with some psychological facts when we associate vintage items with immortality. Upon spotting a vintage item, your fancy is absolutely struck for the reason it is considered one in a million and you'd want it to be passed on to the next generation.
These hands down are imbued with exotism and mostly stacked up against relatively newfangled inventions.
It goes without saying that every two or three individuals reading are an immense fan of Vintage automobiles, I am one too. I mean if I were given a chance to pick any car, I would go for a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL or Porsche 911. Hey, please bear in mind not to flaunt in front of Karens, we don't want to throw ourselves into easily-offended lecturers. Vintage automobiles themselves scream ‘Standard’.

Here you will find me slightly going off-track but again, the more you know, the more you'll be able to grasp the perspective of vintage being immortal in the eyes of mortal folks, like us. Antiquity of items has always whetted the fancies of those holding opposite views to people who drool over futuristic items. And it goes beyond the reason of "flaunting or boasting" in front of your friends while you walk down the hallways of your school, that we have already delved into the earlier paragraphs. Feel free to run your eyes through the article and come up with your standpoint on the whole "Vintage being immortal". Man, I wish I was born in the vintage era. Vintage is truly immortal and will remain so.
