Pop-Cultural mashups are proliferating on
YouTube and
Newgrounds.com and thousands of other repositories. Video montages are being created from pop-culture product - video, image and sound files are mashed together in often horrific forms to play with the media all around us, be it imagery, or messages. Culture jamming is not just for the nut jobs or anarchists anymore, everybody's joined the party, because technology makes it so easy to develop and disseminate. Its an art form based on copyright and trademark infringement. Similar to
fan fiction,
DÅjinshi, and music mashups like the infamous
Grey album.
