sticker bombing

Label coverage art

Sticker bombing is the practice of covering a surface—a laptop, skateboard, guitar case, or car panel—with many overlapping stickers, creating a dense, chaotic collage.

The aesthetic emerged from street art and skateboard culture, where accumulated stickers signal subcultural affiliation or personal style: His laptop was completely sticker-bombed with band logos and memes.
