Graffiti is a form of subculture which conveys the author’s message and applies a code in its application that befits the elements necessary for classification as a subculture. Graffiti can be defined as an example of subculture corresponding to the main criteria of contemporary definitions of subculture. Contemporary theoreticians dispute the origin and meaning of subculture as a social phenomenon, analyzing the sociological parameters of the groups of population and their primary motivation for deciding on self-expression in the form of subculture. McCracken (2002) noted that “The new groups are the necessary inevitable product of our world, not a transgressive reaction to it” ( Plenitude: Culture by commotion ). McCracken’s assertions can be defined as revolutionary and gave rise to debates with other theoreticians who consider subculture as the phenomenon separated from the mainstream of the community, opposing and struggling against it. Titley shifts the emphasis to the sociological characteristics of subculture representatives, admitting that “subcultures are often the creative expression of cultural difference by marginal groups” ( A New approach to youth subculture theory ). Actually, this definition does not contradict McCracken’s statements concerning the subculture groups as an integral product of society, but rather evaluates the psychological basis of the phenomenon. The same idea of joining subculture for expressing their protest was developed by Hebdige (2002): “Subcultures are expressive forms but what they express is, in the last instance, a fundamental tension between those in power and those condemned to subordinate positions and second-class lives” (p. 132). Using these parameters, graffiti can be defined as an example of subculture used by contemporary youths for expressing their protest against the generally accepted society norms. The ‘art’ of graffiti is a unique one. It aims at producing a graphic, which passes on a message. The location of choice for the placement of graffiti is visual areas such as walls and bridges, or in easily accessible hidden areas such as public toilets. The developers pass on context specific information depending on the theme of their protest. To produce a successful piece of graffiti, there is a set of skills required in addition to a defiant mindset. Graffiti finds placement in strategic locations to achieve the effects the creator desires. Different members of this subculture have varying levels of skill in as far as the development of graffiti is concerned. Some produce very intricate diagrams with visually attractive graphics while others use simpler techniques to produce their work. The illegality of writing graffiti in public places makes it a rushed job in some places while the relative lack of stringent policing in neighborhoods with a graffiti subculture makes it possible to produce intricate designs. Some use graffiti as a means of decorating bland surfaces while others use it to disfigure well-embellished ones. What ties the subculture together is the form of art used to express the ideas, and not necessarily, the specific content of the work produced. The second characteristic of graffiti as an example of subculture is the expression of the views of minority in a non-facilitated
