You are 100% supposed to wash your denim. How much? Different question, but I'd say less than once a week and more than once a year, for sure.
Not washing your denim for extended periods of time is meant to achieve a specific look, but eventually it harms the structure of the denim as oils and bacteria break down the fibres and weaken the jeans, leading to rips. This can also occur with over-washing and (especially) tumble drying.
I usually wash my jeans if they get especially dirty or start to feel a little too stretched out. Maybe once every few months on average? I've done the "no wash" thing before. It's unnecessary, but do it if you want. I find the "sick fadez" often look a little too bro-ey for me.
Generally speaking, I would just be very wary of taking advice from jean culture nerds and applying it across the board.
