it started as people making fun of things some BMXers do, like nollie off of curbs, dip 3s, and nose bunk things, ect. it eventually just became a general response to any question asking why.
"why did john nollie off that curb?"
"because street"
"why did you not do the homework?"

Get the Because Streetmug. A group of around 20 (give or take) locals who hold down their neighborhood—tagging walls, flexing turf both online and in person, and sometimes linking or spinning off from bigger gangs. Street Crews aren’t always about violence; they’re about presence, unity, and respect that speaks louder than beef.
Street Crews move in the shadow of bigger gangs but often stay more active, more connected, and more in tune with the real neighborhood pulse.

Get the Sesame Streetmug. When you cum in your cousins pussy, and then stick a flashlight in her ass to make sure the kids find their way home. (Much like when mom and dad told you to be home before the street lamps came on.)
