"This according to researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University in England, who said that as Instagram and YouTube have become more popular methods to share art, fewer young people are taking to the streets to make a name for themselves. In other words, kids these days are less Banksy and more Selena."

Banksy is being used to represent graffiti. Selena is being used to represent Instagram. Selena Gomez is the more reasonable assumption than Selena Quintanilla to represent Instagram since Selena Gomez has the most Instagram followers for any user.

Gomez may be a logical assumption but she has never been mononymous in the media; unlike Selena Quintanilla. It could be that the article is assuming that is the case? I am aware of 'both' Selenas but the elder is the only mononymous one. So it's a confusion of references.

Speaking as a millennial, all of my friends would immediately assume "Selena" means "Selena Gomez" in nearly any context. I've never heard of Selena Quintanilla.

Counter example: On the April cover of Vogue, Selena Gomez is referred to as Selena.
