Why do people graffiti?

seriously?? my apartment building ust got a new painting on the walls outside and someone spray painted a ugly ass drawing on it like wtf?? and i don’t live in like a poor urban area or anything so its not like i should expect it to happen its just so annoying why cant they just buy a piece of paper and draw its not even esthetically pleasing at all it is not like those colorfull letters its just black scribbles. It’s gross and very rude to do (

I agree. If they want to paint some walls they should have a special place or at least try to make something different from some letters. I don’t find it artistic and it’s not freedom of expression, it’s vandalism. Freedom of expression doesn’t mean to paint whatever you want wherever you want to, more if that “wherever” is a public space. I don’t understand why, if they want so much to do graffiti, they don’t do it in their own houses, like they’re painting some walls but they keep their rooms white.

Graffiti Verite - $17.99 Graffiti Verite explores the underground graffiti scene of urban Los Angeles. The documentary interviews 24 graffiti artists and features footage of their bold, colorful outdoor work. The interviewees draw a connection between their work and ancient hieroglyphics and cave paintings and also describe graffiti art as a subversive means of counter-programming the culture. After all, graffiti art on walls and fences contends with equally large advertising billboards, and strives to convey something separate from commercialism. Painting a fresh picture of graffiti enthusiasts, the documentary annihilates the image of the graffiti vandal and introduces the graffiti artist. ~ Betsy Boyd, Rovi
