street memes are made of this

came across this site called street memes. it tries to track many of the stenciled, stickered, wheat-pasted, kilroys of our urban existence. someone at metafilter pointed out that the term meme is very overused and likely misused in this particular case, but you get the point. another point of contention, after only a quick scan of the memes i noticed more than one of these memes were actually advertising disguised as street art, the d.j. honda “h” for example. do these really qualify? other sites: wooster collective, p.o.w., and the unrelated but worth noting box doodle project. enjoy.
