I remember those trains. As a child I enjoyed seeing all those BIG BOLD colors riding by.The art and color combinations were fascinating.
Most of it wasn’t very well done, but occasionally a truly striking, colorful, detailed, full-car mural would pull into the station and just knock you out.
40 or so years ago, my friend who has since passed took me on a subway to watch flip book graffiti through a window. As we passed through a tunnel at speed, an artist had tagged each passing girder with an image that appeared to dance as we zipped by. Still the coolest graffiti I've ever seen.
Graffiti was everywhere in NYC in the 1970s especially on the subway trains both inside and outside of them. I love the graffiti more than ever. I watched it a lot while going to Manhattan and Corona Queens with my mom and brother on weekends.
Ohh you used to ride the 7 ?
@@user-fj6so62ypa Yes. In the mid 1970s as a kid I used to ride the 7 train to visit my mother's aunt in Corona Queens.
@@RobertoLopezstudyis That's cool you got to experience NYC in the 70's as a kid. I feel like so many things started in the 70's. Unfortunately I was born in the 80's in NYC. But the 80's was still a blast. I still luv the 80's. Did you live Manhattan?
I used to ride the 7 train, was so upset to see 5pointz gone! After working for a decade to move back, it was the only place that intrigued me as a kid staring out the windows sitting backwards on the trains was the most fun. This is raw and gave rise to the urban scene, true NYC. Btw my heart’s in Corona near junction blvd too, it’s rugged but so full of life and a gem to me, authentic and hardworking please keep it safe, I heard it’s the most condensed place in the country had no idea. I always get emotionaI and protect it as much as possible. The country has extreme rural, suburb and urban, respect and proud to have to them all.
Yea, they see have Graffiti in the streets
pure art, bold, brazen, and unapologetic!!!!
I miss those days I get goosebumps watching it... New York at its best!!!
Absolutely 🙏👏👍✌
Absolutely
I’ve lived in a high rise by West Farms Square -2/5 for decades. I had the opportunity to look at these these trains 24/7 growing up. Every train looked so unique during the 70s/80s!! I would stare at the trains turning into and out of West Farms Square for hours.
Me too, as a kid riding the train was the most fun, we would sit backwards to stare out the window, 5pointz was my favorite spot and heartbroken it’s gone.
@@Jenvlogs404 I really wonder why NYC does so little with this culture. Here in europe we got so many things from dozens of hall of fames in cities a tenth of the size of New York to train systems that basically look like this video and even legally painted trains in some places while in NYC it's forbidden to carry graffiti tools with you and they made doing it a felony and that's basially all they ever did in regards to graffiti. I get that people don't like random tags but all the good stuff that many people like isn't supported in any way either. The city should have bought 5 pointz and turn it into a graffiti museum, run some memorial trains and whatnot.
miss those days nyc subway trains was colorful and fun to ride.
I miss it. It had character. People who didn't agree should have just bounced to the suburbs then. Not the same now.
Straight facts
When you are right, you're Right!
Damn so many talented strangers out there
In that era DUSTER and SEEN were Kings of Swing on the Six line. Dondi, Skeme, T-Kid, Kase2, Tracy168, Mitch77, BearTDS, Lee, Crash and Blade too were all masters of styles
This is the New York that we were brought up in. Something about the vibe and grit is missed. Thanks for sharing
they dont make them like this anymore
They don’t make kids like this anymore either
Kids today are pansies
@@DR-xt9ux truer words have never been said.
the new trains have stainless steel u know?
Authentic clips, thank you!
As much as it was frowned upon. I am very glad that someone took the time to photograph these extraordinary works of Art oh yeah and they did it all with the spray can
1:45 the best background no questions asked
This is my era of the subway trains. My line was the 4 and 5. Every time the MTA would paint them it would return within hours. I would love to go back and relieve those times.
this is art, only reason it looked ugly was cuz there were millions of art pieces going over one another plus tags on the side of them and on the windows
i wish i could spend like month in those times
that duster piece at 1:11 is fire 🔥
I wish we had art like this in LA. Really jealous that NYC had amazing art like this in the past 😤👍
NYC gave rise to the urban scene, LA was just different suburbs but downtown had an industrialized vibe with graffiti murials that I thought respect it more as NY has become gentrified, but LA has a lot of trash.
@@Jenvlogs404wasn't much in LA trains
What a time to have lived and got up!
Excellent video cheers for the upload. The true pioneers of graffiti NY finest the undisputed kings.
👑👑👑🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I put a mood board together for a photo shoot at the transit museum and hope that my friends want to bring this to life with me!!!!
hello ncn, the graffiti then remember walking from 86th street on the west near the hudson to get to the east 96th station (future) what they now call 2nd avenue station. the second avenue station is the line for more art. elle for 102nd st art
A fresh piece of a whole car when done correctly was a beautiful sight to behold especially against the drab urban decay of the eighties and early nineties!
That is so true... I actually miss the abandoned buildings in NY then and the people hanging out around them... Lol
The graffiti on the tunnel as you exit DeKalb Ave onto the Manhattan bridge is still there.Much of it was made by gangs that used to hang out in that particular tunnel.
Still there ?
People look at this with nostalgia conveniently forgetting how much worse the city was back then.
people are delusional and wearing those nostalgia goggles. pathetic really.
Lol
Nice and Smooth! Bigup from Berlin City, good one!
This is better than pornhub
Pure Art
So much great artwork. I miss it at times.
I always find it a shame I never experienced that era. Aside from the typical born in the wrong generation esque comment I’m probably making, you people experienced a culturally vibrant time like never seen before. The art, music, everything of NYC in the 70s to the early 2000s is dope. I read subway bombing is making a comeback so maybe if I visit NYC one day I can see it with my own eyes. Peace from the Netherlands
People calling others "born in the wrong generation kids" is one of the most annoying things. I can't stand those idiots.
@@defcreator187 What in the *HELL* are you saying???
Graffiti as its finest 😂 miss the 90s even though born in 84 but there were good days
Nothing but the paint has changed!
and the fleet.
I miss the lifestyle of the old days….
Inwood, NYC ‘79-‘90
Iconic 🙏👏🙏👏🌟🌟👑😍😍
I'm from Russia and I love New York! Great town!
mood
1970's social media.
Really shows how much the city had fallen at that time.
I hope it will come back someday
At least there’s no more graffiti on trains anymore
Greatest times ever!
who knew trains could talk!? (lol)
What’s the name of this specific beat?
I WANT THE 70's BACK
Missing are the cars with no lights on, half the doors don't open and express trains with cracked wheels clanging through stations at 130 db or more. Beautiful, sentimental, but today's subway far nicer and more comfortable. Even with the delays everyone bitches about, today's subway doesn't compare to this time, not even close (both good and bad).
miss the days writing on the trains. the city life back then. mad love to the m.o.d crew b.y.i, rated xxx this your boy ALE....
It was vandalism tho
At first they do the art on the subway train then they do it on buildings now 2018
It might have not been accepted back then but know it looks fire
3:21 is that a RD t2b?
1000th like
Subway trains full of Art! 😀
The only thing that occurred properly, was that the riding public was able to distinguish between what could be considered as “Art” compared to just tagging. While both are considered as vandalism of public property, it did help to rectify between the creative artist and the thug. Similarly, one can see the same things on full steel rolling security shutters today. The only difference is that shutters are private property and an owner can grant permission.
Enjoy people
DOSK was big early 90s
IZ THE WIZ WAZ BIGGG!!!
Song name?
Where did people find the time for this.
During the Wee Hours of the Night while Trains were stored in Train Yards. *I Recomend a Movie Called Dreams Don't Die"from 1982 i Think it's Here on CZcams
Also on the weekends and holidays.
I don't it condone but damn if I'm not aesthetically pleased of some of the art. Granted, it's frown upon but gave them character if done right

The destiny children
These were the good old days , with all thoese. blowouts" miss the real hoods, latinskulls bx all the way!!!
2:22

SEEN... Godfather of NYC Subway Graffiti
Its much less now on NY subways, right ?

NYCNostalgia Really? No graffiti pieces on Subways anymore?
They are as clean as can be. So sad
Steven Ø Also inside? No tags at all?
Max Lev40 Yes, nothing. Completely clean cars :(
Porno club
Thank goodness most of the graffiti was cleaned up. Hopefully the NY subway will continue to aspire to better standards like the Paris or Tokyo metro. This isn't art, it's filth. There is definitely a lot of room for improvement but they are going in the right direction.
Sdetton then bounce to the suburbs the subway grafitti isn't for everyone. don't be mad you can't make art like this.
Not all of it is, I would love to see the full murals again but those stupid tags can die in hell.
Sdetton it's all about opinion and this art there's a deeper meaning to this when people take it seriously
Sdetton graffiti is always gonna be a part of every country and city it started off simple name and letters to being a worldwide phenomenon can't stop it so bounce to the suburbs with your granola eating hippy friends
Fuck u its the culture , nyc graffiti will never die go fucking move sonewher else dumb bitch
