According to Wikipedia, "Much of what can now be defined as modern street art has well-documented origins dating from New York City's graffiti boom, with its infancy in the 1960s, maturation in the 1970s, and peaking with the spray-painted full-car subway train murals of the 1980s centered in the Bronx." It can be abstract, representational or a mix but it must have that funky street art look and feel.
