Are there any culture jammers here?
I think that culture jamming is more my thing than graffiti....
Graffiti takes alot of skill in drawing.... and culture jamming more of a creative mind and the will to not give a fuck if you get caught...
Its crazy!
Anyone know of any groups in the midwest?

But also, I find alot more passion in culture jamming.
Like I feel like I've always been doing it, just not knowing what it was called.
I wrote "100% of divorces begin in marriage" in huge letters in the bathroom in 7th grade when my step dad kicked us out and I was really pissed because that was the 3rd divorce I went through and I was like "Fuck people getting married its just bullshit"
It made NO sense, but it made people think and they were like "What the fuck does that even mean?" and "Why would someone write something so stupid?"
Thats the only big thing I've done.
I've done little petty things like writing on desks and shit but nothing big.
It is just a good way to get your point across quickly whether it makes sense or not as long as you know what it means.

I looked at the moon so full and so bright
And then at the fireplace with its flickering light
And realised why this world will never be right

---------------------------------------------
Culture jamming is an individualistic turning away from all forms of herd mentality – including that of social movements – and by that definition, culture jamming is generally not treated as a movement. Culture jamming is not defined by any specific political position or message, nor even by any specific cultural position or message. The common thread is mainly an urge to poke fun at the homogeneous nature of popular culture, often by means of guerrilla communication (communication unsanctioned or opposed by government or other powers-that-be).

Basiscally fighting the norm with a sartastic look at it. On the outside looking in.

Aims of culture jammers may include:

To have a good laugh (and to encourage others to do likewise) at the expense of prevailing social currents - many purveyors of which, in the opinion of many culture jammers, take themselves too seriously. Even culture jammers themselves are not immune to being the subjects of culture jamming, if they appear to be on their way to becoming as institutionalized and humorless as the original objects of culture jammers' attention.
To reawaken a sense of wonder and fascination about one's surrounding environment, inspired by the frequent intentional ambiguity of a specific culture jamming technique, which stimulates personal interpretation and independent thinking.
To demonstrate contrasts between iconic images, practices or attitudes and the realities or perceived negative side of the item object of the jamming (often the target is a trapping of monolithic power structures such as corporations, government or religions). This is often done symbolically, with the "detournement" of pop iconography.
To provoke an interest in civic engagement and social connectedness
