Mysterious Super S Socks
Main Tag:
Description: The Super S, also known as the Cool S, Universal S, Pointy S, Middle School S, Graffiti S, and by many other names, is a graffiti sign in popular culture that is typically doodled on teen’s notebooks or graffitied on walls. The exact origin of the Cool S is unknown, but it may have originated from the 1890 book, Mechanical Graphics, by professor Frederick Newton Willson. The symbol began appearing in greater numbers and frequency around the early 1970s as a part of graffiti culture, though it can be found much earlier in works like Hans Holbein’s large double-portrait, known as The Ambassadors from 1533.
