Let's siftquisit this down, because I'm tired of seeing folks slapping * vintage on a sift just because its made to look old, but isn't... OR tagging it because it's a modern classic.
90s is NOT vintage yet! Good grief, I think if I dug in the back of my closet deep enough I could find a baja or poet blouse!!
Vintage sifts must be OLD as in containing original OLD content made by people that are now OLD or dead.
Now I've heard 25 knocked around a bit...but 20 years is fair.
Let's treat the vintage channel as the time capsule treasure chest it ought to be, OK???
Anyone disagree with this?

No, ma'am, no!
Twenty years? Guess that makes me vintage, twice over.
"Yea, that's what I thought..."
Sure, this doesn't help, since there must be some definition good for everybody.
We have labeled tons of 80's vintage already though.
Having said that, there's an important issue of context at work. First-season Simpsons are just barely 20, but the very different animation/vocal stylings can rate such clips as vintage.
If someone has called the clip vintage and hasn't provided a rationale, ask for one before sniping it off is my opinion.
“1 a: serving as a standard of excellence : of recognized value b: TRADITIONAL, ENDURING c: characterized by simple tailored lines in fashion year after year ”.
Ok, “vintage”, which in its first form really refers most often specifically to the year when a certain wine was produced, but also has the following meanings:
“1 of wine: of, relating to, or produced in a particular vintage
2: of old, recognized, and enduring interest, importance, or quality : CLASSIC
3 a: dating from the past : OLD b: OUTMODED, OLD-FASHIONED
4: of the best and most characteristic -- used with a proper noun <vintage Shaw: a wise and winning comedy -- Time>”
Webster’s defines antique as:
”1: a relic or object of ancient times
2 a: a work of art, piece of furniture, or decorative object made at an earlier period and according to various customs laws at least 100 years ago b : a manufactured product (as an automobile) from an earlier period”,
or as an adjective:
“1: existing since or belonging to earlier times : ANCIENT <antique trade routes to the Orient>
2 a: being in the style or fashion of former times <antique manners and graces> b : made in or representative of the work of an earlier period <antique mirrors>; also : being an antique
3: selling or exhibiting antiques <an antique show>”
When you speak of a vintage automobile, vintage 1. A group or collection of people or things sharing certain characteristics. 2. A year or period of origin. 3. Length of existence; age. --vin·tage adj. 1. Of or relating to a vintage. 2. Characterized by excellence, maturity, and enduring appeal; classic. 3. Old or outmoded. 4.a. Of the best. b. Of the most distinctive.
There are no set of universally recognized criteria, cept for antiques....100 yrs or more-
No way in hell I would call Song 2 "vintage" let alone retro, just because it came out in April 2007.
Videogames and commercials, for example, age way more quickly than other things.
There are definitely some posts, though, that I really don't know how to handle. I looked up this thread because I wasn't sure if this post qualifies or not. It was made quite recently, but the topic is very old. My instinct was to put it in vintage, but as I noted in the comment there, most of the channel invocations for that one would be more of a joke.
Hard call. But wouldn't it be nice to think of this channel as an archive of original old video?
What are your thoughts on this... Unless it contains rare footage prepared in such a way that we could never have seen it otherwise.... all content must be in original form?
I've been compiling vintage sifts into decades for a while. I'm hoping down the line there will be a way to incorporate the vintage channel into decades somehow. Maybe having the old sifts tagged will make that easier one day
Thanks for the tips too - I've definitely got a better handle on what you're looking for in vintage.
Thanks Jonny, I don't want to be an ogre about it. Ultimately there should be a guideline... It's not 'my' channel really it belongs to the community.
