      I also like nice graffiti but even those end up covered by a bunch of ugly and lazy tags. As for cities being soulless without it, I guess you never went to a city that is not a glorified parking lot.

      Eh, I don’t mind tasteful graffiti but when it’s literally just a dozen tags with nothing artistic about it then that’s pretty shit.

        The tags themselves are artistic, it’s

        A) Modern calligraphy

        And

        B) A statement of existence, an “I was here,” which is a super common basis for art.

        There’s an entire culture behind it too.
