But this is rapidly becoming a false statement as advertisers use graffiti styles to attract the eyes of the youth. When advertisement companies use graffiti style in some of their lettering and claim this to be graffiti, most people accept this contrary to their common concept of graffiti being illegal. On the other hand graffiti artists will consider any spray can art that has been done legally as graffiti style or aerosol art, but not as actual graffiti. A graffiti art veteran who goes legal is considered an aerosol artist. The first type of graffiti I had mentioned was destruction .
Destruction is the use of graffiti as a way to obtain fame and status in the graffiti culture.
Destroyers can be broken down into two categories, bombers and taggers. Bombers use only spray paint, preferably Rustolium or Krylon, usually two contrasting or complimenting colors and paint their self proclaimed graffiti name rather largely, usually two by four feet. A tagger uses any object that will leave a noticeable mark and write their name on anything. This is considered destructive when it damages property value. The next type of graffiti is pieces or burners .
