Street Creed 

Going down the streets healing lepars, raising the dead, and turning rock ballads into awesome!
Street Creed allows you to feed an entire audience with one riff (played over and over again, accompanied by high-strung, over-wrought vocals)
People with Street Creed are often seen praying before concerts, wearing tight leather pants, writing cliche lyrics, and grabbing oneself out of the water during a deluge in music videos.

Having concerts across the globe in hopes of ending poverty is not a sign of Street Creed, it's a sign of being a pompous douchebag. However, comparing your band to Led Zeppelin and appearing copiously on VH1 is a sign of Street Creed.
