“Graffiti on a support wall under an overpass that reads:
“‘What kind of paint are you using to paint over this? Because if it is latex, it's probably way too cold for it. You want good adhesion, you need like at least 40°-45°. Maybe wait till it warms up a little. I mean, what's the big rush? Like, I'm in a rush now, but our situations are different.’
“You can tell from the photo that previous graffiti was painted over many time with slightly different colors of grey with the latest cover up (that was written over with the above text) showing bubbles and ripples in the paint from using the wrong paint at the wrong temperature.”
Tagging is how you identify a shitty community. So I guess they can teach you something!
I'd rather have a thousand tags in my neighborhood than a single advertisement.
You just live in a different world than I do I guess.
Are you saying that communities in areas with lots of tags are shitty? Because if thats what you are saying, you are not welcome here and should reevaluate on what basis you call a community shitty.
Tags make your community look like shit and definitely suggests folks aren't watching their children.
So, to answer the question - yes. And no, I won't be reevaluating my standards (what a ridiculous thing to write).
what... What an interesting assumption to make! The towns I've lived with strong street art scenes have been the most interconnected, generationally. The places I've lived with the least street art have been strictly suburban in nature and have had higher rates of violent crime. The only thing a place without tags tells you is there's a lot of police, and probably a lot of white people.
ooooh cannot possibly disagree with you more here. what it signifies is communities with low police presence, usually impoverished or majority minority.
