Touching on the graffiti writers being tattooists, I often think it's odd when a tattooist who was never a writer attempts to do a "graffiti" tattoo, usually pretty easy to tell the difference in the design.
The claim 'debunked' was the Graffiti originated out of the hip hop culture. That much is false, it was INTEGRATED into the Hip-hop culture, and largely predates it.
@@purga1563 lot of modern graffiti can be traced back to hip hop in the 80's though. Ofcourse writing on walls is as old as time but a lot of stylistic conventions and technical basics still used today were pretty much founded in the 80's hip hop culture.
@@zwenkwiel816 70s Graffiti laid the real groundwork. Tagging, which evolved into throwies, which evolved into pieces. The evolution was always going to happen from the seeds planted even back in the 60s, hip hop INFLUENCING the evolution of the EXTANT artform, doesn't make graffiti "traceable back to hip hop."
@@purga1563 who still tags like they did in the 60's though? Ofcourse it's always an evolution and it's not like graffiti is inherently tied to hip hop but a lot of modern graffiti has its origin in 80's hip hop culture. Everything from straight letters to throw ups and wildstyles originate in that Era. Lot of techniques like force fields highlights and colorful backgrounds were first done back then (basically the fundamentals of what is a tag, piece or throw up were defined in that era)
I mean graffiti is one of the main elements of hip-hop but also the general idea of illegally writing your name extends longer than that culture. However I do believe it's around that time that it truly became graffiti as we know it today today
I never got caught, but there were moments when (mostly old people) just called the Police cause they saw me walking under a Bridge at Night even if I did nothing yet. It's like they can smell if you are a weiter or not (what tf do old people under a Bridge at 2 am?!)
yes. here in Hamburg, Germany, we have 2 clubs in the 2nd division and one crew always destroys the other crews pieces and vice-versa, as I am a retired writer, its fun to watch who stroke again, and how they are getting better in the process. nowadays some of their pieces are really not bad...and maybe writing is some form of relaxing from the hard work of hooliganism they have to do all the weekend 💥🤕🤛
WATERBOTTLE Im a tat artist and made my heart smile when you said some writers do choose these professions, and "are amazing in their fields" genuine such a nice thing to say thank you LOVE blankslaps happy thx givin
Yeah, cave paintings for sure...and all throughout history man has travelled or conquered and left their mark. Even Alexander the great, carved his name into the top of the pyramids.
Water bottle. Im learning alot from you and im hoping i have everything i need while i practice too. I actually always loves graffiti even when i didnt understand it. I work as an indie artist online for about 10 years and i wanna get back into making designs again thanks to this channel.
4:20 - "Cover the Earth" is Sherman Williams slogan (a popular paint company in USA). So if they say that then... IDK that's pretty corporate tagging IMO hahaha
in brazil back on the 60s when we front a military dictatorship, people whos opose against the dictatorship use to paint on the walls to show resistence, i have seen lots of documentary about that time n always has n "graffiti" on the walls by the way, much love from Brazil 🇧🇷 🙏🏼 love your videos, keep up 💪🏼 WATER BOTTLE
Water bottle, bottled water. Stay hydrated. Them be some good myths to debunk because I've been asked about a few of these. Now I have a video I can send them.
Yooo waterbottle man, some helpful things and a good lesson for people getting a knowledge of graffiti and its background, good video man, made me wanna test out some tags aha 😂
as a beginning graffiti artist, my job is to clean graffiti lol. i clean it up and retag it with my own stuff ( i know this is looked down apon but i dont want to clean the graffiti. its just my job and specifically on bus stops!
water bottle since youre still actively commenting, could you advice me to watch a video where someone (preferably you) explains the complete opposite of technical graffiti? just big square letters and how to make them personal but still basic? thank you in advance and props for still commenting on comments 6 months later!
I think graffiti was invented by that one person who spit on his hand in a cave to make an outline of it. So for every boomer hating graffiti ... dude you just went to a museum to look at 20.000 yo graffiti ;) Also nice channel. Gives me the chance to learn some more about art and culture. subscribed
I’ve been into graffiti since the early 80’s & to this day I’ve never intentionally inhaled paint to catch a fuckin buzz….gimme a break…..graffiti is literally the 1st art form-form of expression
No2- when a journalist wrote about me in a newspaper the description was a teenager with nothing to do in the evenings. I’ve been writing since the early eighties for a start; I run a business and like to be in bed by midnight!
Yo youfo sick vid I’m having trouble choosing a name for myself would be sick if you could choose a name just straight off the top of your head thanks for the long vid keep it up💯💯👑
I love these videos, but when I see them. feel so sad because someone that doesn't do graffiti is gonna look at it and say something like "Oh its just another one of those little delinquents" or sumthin idek. but still, I appreciate it thx for tha vid!
(Water bottle) idkrk which path to go down you know like I’m 11 and I have time to think about it but once you get into it it’s hard to get out you know so I’m tryna chill out on the tags and stickers but it’s addictive lmao lemme know what would help Cheers-

I often think it's odd when a tattooist who was never a writer attempts to do a "graffiti" tattoo, usually pretty easy to tell the difference in the design.
Graffiti writers: Yo, check my new piece, you can barely read it!
Death metal bands: You call THAT illegible?
Hahaha
Graffiti is literally considered one of the elements of hip hop, hip hop is not just a music genre. It's a culture
Break dancing, deejaying, graffiti writing, MCing, make up the elements of hip hop,
Like I said hip hop isn't just a music genre

like ŁKS Łódź and Widzew Łódź or Legia Warszawa and Polonia Warszawa
