No, this is what modern graffiti looks like:
TY… I was getting irritated by how many upvotes this post was getting…
Like hate speech on wall isn’t the same thing as graffiti… Tagging your block cause you in a gang is also not really a graffiti …
Anyways… Thx again
Believe it or not, I posted this meme to make a joke, not because of my enduring, seething hatred for grafitti as an artform

Graf is probably better than ever now, shame it’s not as long lasting was in Rome. Hopefully some of the best artists pick up sculpting so people in the future might have a little taste.
Digital pictures of their work last indefinitely, just saying
Edit: To everyone mentioning that digital photos aren’t guaranteed to last forever, yup: That’s what indefinitely kinda means. There is no guarantee. Could last another day because the medium the only copy was stored on failed, or it could last for thousands of years because it was properly backed up in a lossless format.
Things stored digitally are sadly anything but everlasting, a lot is lost to time already
You have to take measures to preserve and back it up, it’s definitely not guaranteed.
physical printed photos of these digital images may last /s
good luck with that
Oh yeah, some people make really beautiful art with graffiti!
Not where I live.
Both are wrong. Ancient graffiti looks like this:
Romanes eunt domus
Graff writers will usually cross out stupid shit like this.
I am always amazed at the amount of support and outcry I hear on the side of graffiti when it comes up on the internet. Not that it often outweighs the people who say “hands off other people’s shit”, but the number is still much larger than I expect.
It all depends on context, imo. People should generally leave other people’s private property alone. But if it’s an ugly cinderblock wall downtown, some kind of drab piece of infrastructure, and the graffiti artist is actually making an effort to make it look good - it can be public art
Bonus points if it covers up a low effort ad
Yeah I guess that’s the issue. It has to look good. Otherwise it’s just garbage on the walls.
Most of the time it does not look good (imo of course), but of course there are exceptions.
If it looks good, why not, but I’m certain no one would want a poorly drawn swastika as a graffiti.

One graffito, two graffiti.
1998, bathroom wall.

Not sure how true 🤔 or not; but I heard in California ( where I lives ) graffiti is a felony :(
When one makes a claim like a certain group can’t draw basic symbols when nothing indicated such things, its accepted in the community of behavioral analysis that it was a projection. The latter paint also has no evidence behind it
When one overanalyzes a meme, it indicates one does not spend enough time in fields, and needs to go outside. Perhaps some of the excess time online could be used to learn the latter actually is ancient grafitti.
Time outside would also reveal certain groups unable to draw basic symbols to be quite common in public places. Try it, it’ll broaden your mind!
If what I did takes you anything beyond 3 seconds you’re mentally deficient, it appears yet again someone has projected their own mental state onto me and environment onto me. I’m a major fan of Rome and I know they had graffiti, the evidence of that specific one is very dubious, I’ve never witnessed people being incapable of drawing basic shapes like this either, you must be a very special type of brainlet if you’re incapable of that

What does that even mean. Unironic word parser just regurgitating shit it doesn’t understand
Oh for goodness sake this is the most chronically online conversation I have ever seen. Both of you please stop arguing over pointless shit. Also telling someone to touch grass as an arguement is about as chronically online as it gets and also isn’t valid given you know 0 about their life. Please just stop both of you.
When one makes a claim like that when nothing indicated such things, its accepted in the community of behavioral analysis that it was a projection. You should really have a shower, I’m sure you smell awful… Even just once a week would be an upgrade… 🤢
I shower plenty. Stop making shit up about people and using the same argument over and over again. It becomes meaningless when you do that.
I feel bad now for criticising the other guy when it’s clear now that you’re just an arsehole.
Someone’s coping about the fact it doesn’t shower, yucky… 🤮. How’s your father? He isn’t gone is he…
What’s it like to be a highschool troll? Must be lonely.
Projection is a concept developed by Freud and comes under psycho-analysis. It’s not part of behavioural analysis at all.
Is defending nazis online something you find yourself doing often?
I’m not defending anything but reality. If you consider Nazism truthful/reality that’s on you buddy
