The phenomenon of dispossessed young people in New York City in the 1970s and early 1980s challenging the frustration and boredom into making visual art not-music, not-sport, but art is unappreciated. The art form they invented helped them to start to view the world in teams of all the visual languages that were available to them as sources to quote from and remix.
