Street Culture

Why is street culture important?

Street Culture is the beliefs, dispositions, ideologies, informal rules, practices, styles, symbols, and values associated with, adopted by, and engaged in by individuals and organizations that spend a disproportionate amount of time on the streets of large urban centers. When interpreted in this manner, street culture is not simply graffiti and street art, or street styles or street wear, and street food. It is a more encompassing term and practice. Street culture is the glue that holds many urban environments together.
