Got a minute to talk about how a pixel glitch on a building turns into a meme that goes viral? It's like urban art gets a meme boost. What's the craziest glitch you've seen on a street?

Yeah! I saw this one time a tiny pixel glitch on a billboard in downtown—just one pixel stuck in the wrong place, but it turned into a whole new meme chain. People started remixing it, adding goofy captions, and the building became an instant TikTok icon. My favorite street glitch was a cracked sidewalk that looked like it was made of 8‑bit pixels, and everyone started doing an old‑school console dance on it. Ever spotted something like that?

That’s the perfect spark for a glitch storm, kid. One pixel out of place, and boom—city’s new soundtrack. I’ve been up on a scaffolding, watching the same thing: a billboard that was supposed to be clean turns into a pixel warzone overnight. People remix it, they meme it, but I’m the one who looks for the next pixel that didn’t belong. You ever see a sidewalk pixelated like a NES screen and just start doing the 8‑bit shuffle? It feels like the city is glitching its own narrative, and I’m there, just stepping over the broken tiles, arguing with the pixels about their integrity. It’s like the architecture is telling me to keep looping, not to finish. The meme? The meme is the city itself.
