I also hate 99% of grafittis because most are just a big autofellatio, wasting even more space than tags but equally pointless. I don't give a shit what's your stupid nickname, draw/write something cool you idiot.

Eh, the people I saw tagging are middle class.
What about tags on trains, transit stations, public parks/hospitals/schools/etx? Go take a shit on some rich dude's property, not this
I'm just asking for people to make a little doodle instead of a signature. That's enough
Look into the grafitti tagged NYC trains of the 70s — grafitti used to be one of the 5 elements of hiphop and was a way for the people to express themselves (see The Message by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five). I'm not saying that what you're seeing now is the same thing, but grafitti can serve a purpose

The rebellion is obviously targeted at the authoritarian state which claims the right to decide how everything looks. Huge fucking billboards everywhere? Sure, why not, it makes someone money so it's cool. A bombing is a claim to the public space. It's anarchist - pieces can be crossed at any time, but they are not. Because writers have rules everyone agrees on, without police enforcing them. Get a load of graffiti culture, it's fucking amazing. Except the very problematic machismo tho

Yeah, probably the central problem is that graffitis culture is kinda "foreign" to my city, imported from yank pop culture.
As I said, the graffiters I know are bougies.

Don't shit on the trains.

I saw good and bad examples.
And I have been on trains which for some reason people destroyed three years after buying new formations, and some other lines are impecable with +50 yo formations
