@LexYeen I think the important thing about tagging is that the good stuff simultaneously is and isn't art.

@Leucrotta The best stuff is what aggressively responds to hate by spraying over it with zero effort, and by covering the surrounding surfaces with love for the folks that hate was aimed for at the same time.

@LexYeen I was actually going a little more effete intellectual here. Is graffiti masterful design and color use, a valuable indicator of space-as-used, or is it just complete crap detracting from space-as-intended? And not only is that incredibly subjective, but even the best stuff out there might get water lasted or painted over tomorrow.

… actually thinking all that over I think my opinion is graffiti IS art.
