As a graffiti writer I always hated the bourgeois douchebags who yammered on about "graffiti art." It was a way of normalizing the practice, taking the big fuck you out of it. And while I'd never begrudge anyone who made money off graffiti "art" from lame-ass bourgeois douchebags, it was always amusing to me to see the desperate need to appropriate graffiti for "art." Graffiti for us was a kind of art, to be sure, but one element of it was always the big fuck you, the ugly and the mean-spirited, yes siree, that's a part of it, and a part of it we loved. Whenever we saw "legal graffiti" we dogged it, straight up. No room for that kind of bullshit.
