I don't know if I can be of much help here due to internal conflict. I
said we were all streakers once, that was me. Well I still am. i wear
clothing only for protenction from the elements and to keep from going
to jail. As soon as I am home, I am naked. I dispise the entire concept
of clothing and shame and the like. It is because of the threat of
violence against me, that I wear clothing. I might be a study case, but
I'm pretty partial.
On the meme idea - streaking is pretty serious for some people. I think
that it became fad due to the need for social acceptability by some
individuals. Small sins are commonly used like this.
Sorry if I am of ne help here.
