While looking at earrings with my JC girlfriend, she pointed out a pair of pierced earrings which I previously had as a pair of clip-ons. I told her I wouldn't buy this pierced pair, though I wouldn't revert back to wearing clip-ons again. To explain, clip-ons are to pierced earrings what cassettes are to CDs. There are some albums you have on cassette which you won't buy again in the CD format. Does that make sense? lol.
