What graffiti means ???
Graffiti (singular: graffito;
the plural is used as a mass noun.
Also known as Graff) is
writing or drawings that have been scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly
on a wall or other surface in a public place. Graffiti ranges from simple written
words to elaborate wall paintings, and it has existed since ancient times, with
examples dating back to Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece,
and the Roman Empire.
In modern times, paint, particularly spray paint,
and marker pens have become the most commonly used
graffiti materials. In most countries, marking or painting property without the
property owner's consent is considered defacement and vandalism, which is a
punishable crime.
Graffiti may also express underlying social and political messages
and a whole genre of artistic expression is based upon spray paint graffiti
styles. Within hip hop culture,
graffiti has evolved alongside hip hop music, b-boying, and other
elements. Unrelated to hip-hop graffiti, gangs
use their own form of graffiti to mark territory or to serve as an indicator of
gang-related activities.
Controversies that surround graffiti continue to create
disagreement amongst city officials, law enforcement, and writers who wish to
display and appreciate work in public locations. There are many different types
and styles of graffiti and it is a rapidly developing art form whose value is
highly contested and reviled by many authorities while also subject to
protection, sometimes within the same jurisdiction.
