Basquiat and Haring established a tradition of street art that many young artists sought to emulate. Writes Carter, "In their wake, somewhat younger artists, edgy and ambitious, saw the streets as their studio, especially in the East Village." They "took painterly cues from" Basquiat and Haring. These artists include the likes of Barry McGee, Swoon, Blek Le Rat, D*Face, Judith Supine, Elbowtoe, Stickman, Retna, War Boutique, Kenichi (Ken) HiratsukaHiratsuka, Brian Gormley, Scot Borofsky, Shepard Fairey, Faile, Blu, the Os Gemeos brothers, and Roger Gastman. Collectively they have by now gained the street art genre something close to mainstream acceptance.

The most notorious among today's emerging street artist is an anonymous tagger who travels around the world creating images under the secret identity "Banksy." He is the "man to credit for bringing street art into established gallery spaces," contend Akbar and Vallely in The Independent. "A few years ago he was sneaking his work into galleries such as the Louvre and Tate Britain. Now Tate Modern is selling his book in its gift shop. His works go for hundreds of thousands of pounds and he was recently featured in a retrospective exhibition alongside Andy Warhol. He, more than anyone else, has legitimized the genre and spawned a new generation of young imitators." Banksy has also produced an Oscar-nominated Documentary, "Exit Through the Gift Shop," and "in 2008, Sotheby's sold a painting by another artist which Banksy has defaced," reports the Wall Street Journal.
