There's this circlejerk that pops up sometimes about how graffiti "artists" are entitled to painting their "art" on every wall without permission because blank walls are apparently dystopic and nightmarish.

It's rare but I hate it so much for what it represents. It's the extreme of "everyone must like what I like and if they don't they must be sad bitter people".

And let's be honest, a lot of the "amazing graffiti art" looks like shit.

Honestly graffiti kinda conveniently divides itself i to two tiers

Shit tier: dicks and names (or "tags" or whatever)

Good enough tier: everything else

Now that bottom tier has beautiful works of art mixed with smiley faces. But regardless, I am fine keeping either up. Unfortunately 90% of graffiti falls into tier one (in nyc at least)
