I think it's easier to label these images as 'creative' than it is to label them as 'art'. Art is a very slippery subject (it's subjective). Personally, I'd be happy seeing many of these images on an acid trip. Do they provide any social commentary, connect with me emotionally, or give me any food for thought? No. But then, a lot of the stuff churned out by modern media is equally as vacuous.

They do all the things you mentioned. There’s definite social commentary (cognitive merchant) and several of them are emotionally evocative.
