This work aims at conceptualizing the dynamics of identity-building in globalized metropolises. I stress the importance of tagging as an information and communications technology (ICT) practice that informs the production and organization of identity models within and beyond digital environments. Most importantly, I emphasize the stereotypical nature of contemporary identities and the subsequent demand for citizens to play an actively creative role in their construction. I define stereotype as the combination of recognizable elements — imaginary tags — that are shared through the collective imaginary and attached to individuals and places as a way of reducing them to more easily mediated entities.
