The term graffiti can only be defended by the meaning one gives it. Since there are so many types of graffiti, one can not judge it to be good or bad. Graffiti can be seen as vandalism because it is done without consent on other people's property. Although with gaining proper consent, graffiti artists can showcase their talents to the world. While showcasing their talents, they are also contributing to teaching new and upcoming graffiti artists with their styles.
Graffiti artists place their emotions and inner feeling to their artwork.
On the other hand, taggers use graffiti as a sign of recognition and show of power. Taggers and graffiti artists are at two different levels because they have different expectations about their work. All graffiti can not be considered as Vandalism because they are not all seen the same way. One must first decide what the artists has to say in their drawing on the walls before they depict it as vandalism or art. Works Cited Epstein, Edward.
