To plagiarize or bite someones already established style/idea in regards to art, fashion, music etc. This is done most notably by Shepard Fairey with his OBEY "art". See also bite

An icon started as street art by the now famous street artist Shepard Fairey in the 80's. This poster, with an image of andre the giant and the words OBEY written in large red print underneath became extremely popular and eventually was put onto clothing. For a good amount of time, the OBEY clothing brand was mostly worn by hipsters, skaters, punks, and other counter cultures, but has recently (in 2012) started being worn by douchebags who in 2006 would all be dressing like 50 cent. This is quite unfortunate. for a further definition of the type of people who now wear OBEY, see swagfag and yolo
i have a friend on facebook who goes to my school whose name on facebook is "Obey Wavy" that is example enough.

The obey sticker/drawing is a hypocritical attempt used to manipulate people into not being manipulated by making them begin to question they're surroundings(government, leaders, idols, caste system,}
the whole thing has turned into a pretentious inside joke for a-holes...but you can't argue with results, or can you?
"What's with that wrestler, Andre, on all of those obey signs"

dumb posters and shirts trying to make eveyone think that their actually individuals and piss of "the man" by doing drugs. remember, you are an individual. just like everybody else. there is too much "independent" propoganda and think that everyone is an individual by following certian styles and doing certain things. but the truth is that if everyone "hates" one thing, follows the same style, and accepts all the bull shit that is fed to them, that makes them sheep.
I hate seeing those Obey shirts and posters. Its total bull shit propoganda to encurage "free thought".
