A lot of it is just hot trash, but someone had a friend in a high place who said "oh yeah, i see you, i see me, let's be pals". The art version of walking in with a resume and shaking hands with the manager to get the job on the spot, you know. And then the next day they were in galleries, masters of rhetoric were talking their photographs up, and students were learning about them in art class due to the professor being a friend of a friend of the friend they made on the same principle.
When /p/ says street photography they mean infamous nepotistic swedes like marko hen and gray winogandr, who set the tone and set "street photography" (random bullshit) apart from any photography that happens to involve a street.
