Vandalism is bad!

Pooping on your head :umad:
Subway cars still get tagged in NYC till this very day, the MTA has a policy where trains that are tagged are NOT allowed in service. When a train is tagged they get washed off in the yard before they return to service.
I see graffi all the time, hellumean

It's 2020, cameras on every block.
And graffiti has gone form street kids to commissioned buildings and artwork. 80% of graffiti you see on buildings today were commissioned
I'm not talking about tagging up subway cars and shyt. I'm talking about graffiti and graffiti art in general. shyt isnt even big like that anymore and on top of that, I'm noticing that shyt seemingly got less popular the more hip hop became pop and started to lose its history and roots.

You know how breakdancing went from being in the streets and not being taken seriously in the 70s and 80s to them making shows like American best dance crew in the 2000s and onward. You would think with the influx of artists in inner city areas especially in new york would make that shyt make a comeback in the form of graffiti contests and shyt like that in art studios and shyt. I'm just saying. Surprised graffiti hasnt been gentrified yet.

Little Five Points:
And like the man said...cities are commissioning them now to try directing that energy into something less controversial.
