- When people hear the word graffiti, many no doubt think of vandalism, but these days a growing number of enthusiasts are calling it art. Rita Braver tours a N.Y. museum exhibit of graffiti, some of which is worth upwards of $100,000.
It's an unspoken rule for graffiti artists to never tag people's homes or private property. It's art for public spaces, that's up for grabs.
you are fucking dumb ^
I've just got to say: nice username.
Graffiti is vandalism
A lot of european train - companies are private, but i quess you dont go that far..
Then I suppose nose graffiti “artists” don’t know what private property even means
It's only vandalism if it's bad work..
Lol true
Adam nope, even a bad piece is expression, as video said, it is a crime if you get caught. u think that every king started wildstylin?
dotpoke well I was being sarcastic to a point but your right in a sence but you theirs many graffiti artist who I've seen up for years and never showed improvement always with the same wack style running with a crew that is just fuckin up our streets with no type of creative art those are the one I'm talking about, but to you other point of course no is born piecing it takes practice I know a couple legends and they started simply by fucking up piece books till they got a lil better than they moved on to mobb inside closed warehouses and finally when they masters it they when on the live streets and bilboards I think that's how it should be done not just hit up because you think your creative I'm all for freedom and shit but that's just makes us looks bad.Js no disrespect.
Its only vandalism if its on someone elses property without their permission
finlx graffiti and vandalism go hand in hand like pb and j sandwiches it's obvious you aint part of this life style smh.
"Its not art or vandalism; its art because it's vandalism"
-GATS
Draw what ever you want on your own property. Draw something on public property it becomes vandalism.
+Ebeneezer stark vandalism? but if you paint the train, it still works perfectly.
Ebeneezer stark thats why the law should make graffiti legal.
mental vandalism is empty walls and monocromatic cities.
Westcoast EU Mental vandalism doesn't exit. You have no right to impose your will on things that do not belong to you. Saying otherwise is anarchy.
Ebeneezer stark i pay my taxes, and use my share of public walls. im not imposing anything, you are free to clean it, or let the rain clean it in about 15 years. its is not even a real question, only bad politics use graffiti to grow respect.
1:27 who is tagging gay? (Bottom left)
LoooooooLLL
I think a solution to the whole Graffiti Vandalism thing is just have big random walls or walls that are marked where they has been permission for the public to do art right there. I think that would help.
Lies again? Art Gallery
@@NazriB alright I'll go tag the local art gallery
Basically an art gallery but with spray paints
Do you think any of them see that the painting in the beginning actually says "lee"?
"Anybody that could avoid the subways in the 1970's and 1980's... that that could did."
It’s amazing! This shouldn’t be overlooked it’s a form of expression, I don’t think it’s bad at all! It expresses urban ideas that I don’t think are just “vandalism.” It looks better than just a blank train, or a blank building! It looks very good!
Looking better is subjective. For me, it looks awful. Graffiti is vandalism and shall be punished.
nah
Blank train or blank building built specifically for the person who owns it
If it’s blank and you don’t like it oh well
Did you spend money on it
Did you make it?
Graffiti is vandalism thru and thru and when you do it on a train you should end up in prison
👀 Nice to see my tag collection (1:24) in this piece since it’s the “Holy Grail” of the NYC Graf scene❗️This predates black books and represents the city before the real explosion to the next level took places and everything got bigger and more colorful ‼️ WG - Wicked Gary - EX VANDALS (WBYA / WNO) From The Evolution To The Revolution ❣️😉👍🏽🎨🌈✨🌞🙂💛😎
I love graffiti. What I consider vandalism is those billboards (fast food, alcohol, etc.) that come into my community; I didn't ask for those.
Yeah and the owners didn’t ask for bad pieces of art to be written up on their stuff

Graffiti is art. However, graffiti as an act of vandalism is a crime. Every state/province has vandalism laws that apply to graffiti, and local entities such as cities and counties have anti-graffiti ordinances. Violation of these laws can result in a fine, probation, or a jail sentence.
Nah bruh, graffiti it's vandalism, "street art" is art, i mean, graffiti is tagging writing your name everywhere as much as possible.
Art and vandalism are not mutually exclusive.
If it is done well, it is both. If it is done poorly (i.e.- simple 'tagging'), than it is pure vandalism.
Who cares what that lady feels about graffiti.. Take away our Boys Clubs, YMCA's, Parks, and we as kids had nowhere else to go, so we expressed ourselves with graffiti. Worth the risks it took to become that Banksy In life.
Graffiti is crime
@@brapa1190 To You..
@@PR4U2NV no to the law
I just finished reading The Mole People by Jennifer Toth. She dedicates a chapter about the underground graffiti scene... This is really beautiful.
it is rules graffiti artists follow,unless the last vandelisers. never private property, churches or schools. and other rules that i am not gonna get in to. I think it is art, even taggs. it gives the streets some colors. for the writers out there, dont get caught and have fun! I live in norway and here it was a war with graffiti and the government, eventually they did put up legall walls that helped younger people to get started with this amazing art and community. last time i was at the wall a freaking 6 - 8 year old was with his dad painting. it was the best site ever to see a so young child doing something that is fun and creativ! so art yes, vandalism yes. No graffiti = no hip-hop that many people in the world love today.
I love seeing graffiti, they flavour the bland cities if its actual art.
Anybody doing Cornell notes on this?
there is art in a tag... the letters you see on the wall with no style is vandalism
Bruh I have to this for zoom
Same lol 😂
Imagine a young person full of anger depression etc. and having artistic talent for graffiti but no way to express himself legally. Public places specifically for aerosol art would be his outlet. He could really spend time on his work (it takes a few days to do a great burner) and there would be a lot less tags around the city. At least that would be my perfect world.
Depends on how good it looks
5:35 well Genz definitely heard you 😂😂
Vandalism AND Art...
i'm getting more answers in the comment section. thanks guyssss
Imagine being this much of a boomer
its vandalism and art, why pick one
Tagging is not art images and painting a social commentary are art. Tagging is just putting your name on something just like little kiddies need doing to their clothing when going to school
Tagging is type of graffiti so yes it is art.
Graffiti is like spiltoon on steroids
+Morady Mon My thoughts Exactly!
Whay y'all think? Vandals or art?
Art
its both
Both
If the city would treat the public right, spray painting wouldn't cross their minds
John C it’s not so black and white. It’s a game as well as a form of protest.
So, because you felt depressed, or disrespected or not given handouts, you felt that spray painting other’s property would show the world how mad you are about it?
"It's only vandalism or graffiti if you get arrested. But if you get away with it, it's clearly art."
You must have no life if you're wasting time here repeating yourself.
Art in the truest form!
actually i think, the person who make a graffity can spend lots of time and then people just say that is vandalism, in my opinion the most of the graffitis are beautiful
A lot of people will graffiti walls of abandoned places
didnt know that 🤓
respect
Well what is it?
BOTH!
art
Art should not be hated if used and made correctly
You’re basically saying that “one shouldn’t dislike a forcefully made tattoo on him if it doesn’t look bad”
@@wisenotwise2676 i dont think he said that
Caveat: There is no incorrect way to make art.
graffiti is here to stay we gona stay Bombing and fukin shit up !!! North Philly Badlandz !!!DREX
I believe tagging and graffiti is two different entities using the same tool (spray can). Graffiti is an art form but tagging is a form of vandalism or protest. But usually to boast the artist name.
Nope. Tagging is a part of graffiti. It’s what we graffiti artists started with. Our own tag, that we stylised in our own way. We then moved to throwups(the most simple form of a graffiti piece) and then we moved to graffiti pieces.
i promise don't like people sayin it vandilism like that lady said a minute ago it's not to me it will strongely will never be to me vandilism in anyway it's all art in every way the way how some people react to it out the streets as negative bad influence especially in the ghetto they always look at it as a act in public but to me it's not as a crime it's very very very artistic expression that's all it is but it's just kids being kids and young teenagers being young teenagers till the very very final end till our time is up
It's only vandalism if u get caught.
Vandalism implies your destroying public property
That’s simply wrong your clearly creating art your not destroying anything your expressing yourself
That lady is spirit killing
Keith Haring and Basquiat were heroes and they started there
No subtitle
NYC YO
It's so beyond art, and it's amazing
La 3eme A de Sainte Marie sont ici?
C qui?
2:26 nahhh that lady has no idea what she s talking ab..ofc we plan our pieces....
It's definitely art
its good its good
so to the one dude tat just wrote 'gay' at 1:26 lol
Most of this stuff is pretty poor. Check out the work of people like DAIM, MODE 2 or AROE to see really good stuff.
Its art
Art
hmmm wheres the pic of banksy... oh wait hes a FUCKING NINJA
Graffiti is not vandalism that women is crazy out her mind it never took down the city's spirits, It gave us our spirits it was the foundation of it!
She needs to get laid more often
artistic vandalism!
vandalism. seems obvious. if you do it on a place without consent its vandalism
yeah but the graffiti itself is art
Its art I love it and do it all the time so vanilisiom is a type of art then yes but news flash its not
No you don't can't even spell right
Also you just said that vandalism is not art kid you don't even know what you are talking about maybe come back when you have a life
Duuuuuude, use commas. ugh its painful reading that.
I think it is the thought that count's. Sometimes i make graffiti and sometimes i vandalize. I dont think either is art, but since i force it out there for people to see my opinion does not matter.
Graffiti is the art of the lower class who cannot afford expensive art supplies. It's art.its beautiful.its a way of life. ✌️
+Chel Martinez So they can't afford a pack of plain paper, pencils or markers under $5 but they can afford spray paint that is $8 or more?
sad how you close minded you are. good paint is $5-7 per can.
all you need is a brush and paint to make real art like mona lisa if you have the training and the dedication and the mastery to do so, you don't need to go around puking tag on the wall and call it "art" it's not art, it's a form of degeneracy.
You'd be surprised that graffiti artists do use stuff like oil paint and canvas for their work.
@@crystalmural8944 Paper and pencil and marker art will not be seen by as many people.
For some art for some vandalism for me therapy
But they are spray painting in public places, and most graffiti is seen in public places, so isn't that not vandalism?
van·dal·ism
noun
action involving deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private property. No they are not destroying property by painting
Banksy wasnt a writer. His/her street art isnt graffiti
Its street art,
It's both.
vraiment trop bien la video sur les tags
Awesome. bryner
you probably grew up in the suburbs of some little town with one highschool

I think it is vandalism depending
I’m a graffiti artist & I think it’s beautiful 😍
Banksy is a street artist
Shepard fairy is a street artist
Lady pink, daze, and futura are graffiti artists/writers! And legends!
Um tagging and graffiti at two different things
Stephen Hilton no they’re not. Tagging is the root of graffiti. In order to make good pieces, you have to have a nice tag. It’s a form of caligrafy.
I was the 1000th like
ВАНДАЛИЗАМ!
O bagulho é pixo bro
It is art. But at the same time, it's vandalism. So it's bad.
Nox Xelor its not bad if its legal..u have legal zone where u can paint..
Your opinion on this subject means nothing.
grafitti will never end
yes it will, it can very much will, pretty much like the levels of drug consumption have drastically decreased in the philipines with president Duterte, the same thing can be applied to wall taggers around the world if it's governments take immediate action agaisnt such users
The Aristocrat shut up you stupid cat
The Aristocat a). They are taking action. There are just too many to stop them all.
b). Graffiti is a form of art and a form of protest. In order for governments around the world to stop graffiti, the world would essentially have to be in martial law.Curfews, police everywhere and police brutality to the max.
@@ProtoIndoEuropean88 graffiti has been here since cavemen started scratching their walls with rocks.
It’s vandalism it doesn’t matter if you feel upset of a certain topic it’s still vandalism
Graffiti is art because its vandalism
without permission: vandalism
with permission: art

Vandalism or art? Are you kidding?
ikr. it's definitely art
It's only vandalism if it's not done by the group of people who work for the establishment called Banksey. But if you're poor then you're committing an illegal act.
Tagging is territorial "turf" marking for gangs...and the sloppy , dripping over lapping simple "writing" of spray paint letters onto a subway car is merely intimidation by gangs to declare their area...it is vandalism and junk.
Graffiti with preliminary drawings..sketches and "meaningful" social messages or artistic expression with skillful execution and insightful thought IS art.
its rarley marking for gangs, just a simpler form of grafitti. if you're gonna do it ilegally you usually spend time practicing all types of grafitti to progress ur style

4:00 The woman taking the "against" position says, "it's an appropriation of the public's space." Education ... hello?!? Misappropriation! Learn proper English, if you want your argument to be treated with the slightest degree of seriousness.
cet vidéos me déplais fortement car le street art est incroyable. j'ai donc mi un pouce en bas sur ce reportage vidéoludique
alot of people write graffiti ,,, BUT,,there are only a few graffiti writters ...and they come from the 5 boros where the art was created
