Talk:Graffiti

Art or vandalism?

A huge amount of this article is devoted to the notion of graffiti as an artform, and yet the majority of graffiti is criminal juvenile tagging, endlessly repeated, without talent, originality or imagination. Nowhere does the article mention that graffiti is unpopular, and yet it is. A 2014 Yougov poll (for example), conducted in the UK, showed that only 15% of the population actually liked graffiti, whereas 45% of the population positively disliked it, albeit that a slim majority agreed with the (totally irrelevant) postulation that some graffiti could be considered art. It goes without saying that some graffiti could of course be considered art: but unfortunately it's only about 0.001% of it. Surely the unpopularity of graffiti should be mentioned?

Proposing removing the neutrality tag

While I agree with the original research one, this page seems to do a good job at being neutral and expressing all sides. Likeanechointheforest (talk) 15:08, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Difference between graffiti and mural

What exactly is the difference between graffiti and mural? Both are using many techniques (scretching, painting, spraying,..), both are artistic and sometimes not, both existing since ancient times!? Thx --W like wiki ^{good to know} 02:05, 23 January 2023 (UTC)

Talk to Trash

How did graffiti go from a way of communicating to something that people find offensive, ugly, and a form of crime? It honestly doesn’t make any sense to be honest. Graffiti is a way to communicate how you feel and a way of expressing yourself. Also a way of talking to others through pictures/drawing. And what could be wrong about that? 216.249.167.4 (talk) 20:36, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Evaluation

From what i can see people are just tell what they feel about the graffiti? Just the one person who said vandalism or art. -216.249.167.4 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 20:40, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
