1. (GRAFFITI) (1664↑, 686↓)
An element of the Hip Hop culture misinterpreted and misrepresented by the mainstream media, and most especially hated by affluent (usually white) businessmen who don't understand the roots or meaning of the writing on the walls. Contrary to popular belief, Graff is NOT any of the following: writing on houses of worship, people's houses in general, other writer's names, or tombstones. The aforementioned need not be identified with bus, train, subway and wall burners. That's REAL graffiti, the visual aspect of [Hip Hop] accompanied by the physical (breakdance), verbal (emceeing), and rhythmic (turntablism). Since Graffiti is an element in [Hip Hop] just as important as DJing, MCing and Breaking, any assault on Graffiti (i.e., calling it "vandalism", "not art", etc.) should be viewed as an assault on [Hip Hop] altogether. From the beginning, the powers that be have sought afte the destruction of our culture, from transit authorities chasing after writers, to housing police harassing people at block parties, to lawsuits being filed against DJs for [sampling] ("copyrighted" material). Now it may seem like everything is okay since [Rap] has hit the mainstream, but the major corporations threaten its existence every day. Remember the last Rap video you saw on TV. Did you see any tags, any DJs working the wheels of steel, any B-Boys tearing up the floor, any MCs really rocking the party? Or was it just images of scantily clad females, guys flashing their "bling", and "gangstas" shooting their guns off? Chances are it was the latter, the money-making gimmick that corporations such as MTV make money off of today. These very same corporations, usually headed by conservative individuals who "care" about their buildings, are the organisations which lobby for tighter anti-graffiti laws. So it may seem that "Hip Hop" is all well with mainstream America, but they're actually destroying us from within, in more than one way.

Long live Graffiti\!

A form of art and expression. The world is each ones canvas.
3. (graffiti) (554↑, 255↓)
Art. Misinterpreted by government and mainstream as "destroying" property. Graffiti is only art when it is not offensive or crude like suburban graffiti that simply has curse words and crude drawings of male and female genitalia. Graffiti is done by paint, ink, scratching glass, etc...

That graffiti in downtown is some hot shyt, but the graffiti in the neighborhood just sucks.

4. (Graffiti) (377↑, 190↓)
Graffiti is a commonly misunderstood form of illegal art. Graffiti is done on walls, buses, trains, and other forms of private and public property, often without permission (thus the 'illegal' part). Ink, paint, scratches, and other ways can be used to do graffiti; spray paint cans with special tips being the favored way, since they are easily carried and do not require brushes and other equipment. Note that not all things sprayed/written on a wall are graffiti\! Gang markings, crude bathroom writings, and other less artistic forms of wall-markings are NOT graffiti. Graffiti (also called Graf) is a form of self expression, and while it is illegal, is NOT vandalism. Closely related to people who [tag].

Man, I saw some awesome graf down by Ninth Street yesterday.

5. (graffiti) (294↑, 120↓)
my anti-drug. The action of applying a paint or ink onto a wall in the form of artwork. A highly illegal practice that must be done in a swift and covert manner.

i wont stop, cant stop, graffiti forever.

7. (graffiti) (195↑, 92↓)
The visual personifacation of hip-hop. despite what most of the ill-informed probably middle-aged suburban white people think, graffiti is only limited to stickers (postals), tags (done with pilots, flowpen, krink, homemade markers, etc.), throw ups (aslo called throwies, and done in paint. they are usually just stylized bubble letters of the writters name with 3d or drop shadow), pieces (short for masterpieces, and also known as burners, these range from relativly simple, to intricate and complex designs, a style known as wildstyle. these pieces take hours to do and are considered the highest level of graffiti), and finaly charachters (cartoonish representations of the writters alter ego). Graffiti should not be confused with vandalism, which is instead crude marking or destruction, the aim of which is to cause damage to property, regardless of aethetic appeal. graffiti is just the opposite. IF GRAFFITI WASNT ART, THEN WHY WOULD WRITTERS SPEND HOURS AND HOURS SKETCHING AND PRACTICING IN SKETCHBOOKS? also, there are things that are considered off limits and non ethical, and are not to be touched. some of these things include residential property (unless its the house of a writter that you know personally and have beef with) churches or places of worship cemeteries cars (unless obviously abandoned) These are only the basics and different writters may restrict themselves from other things. Graffiti is 90% of the time NOT GANG RELATED. gangs, however, are not to be confused with crews. crews are a group of writters. thats it. theres no drugs or crime (othere than graffiti) involved with the crew. crews usually have initiations like tagging a police car, or getting up in an open space etc. crew names are usually three letter abbreviations like DFM, or PCK etc. Again, the motivation for graffiti IS NEVER VANDALISM. if that is the motive, then it simply isnt graffiti. motivation varies from writter to writter, but is usually respect as a writter fame to see his own work This is achieved by getting up. getting up is the act of getting your work up around the city. if you get up enough, your considered to be "all city", but this hardly happens. also, your art and style speaks for your reputation. for example, if your [handstyle] is wack, or your throwies drip (unintentionaly), or you go over better writters for no reason (no beef with them) then you may be considered toy. toy stands for Trouble On Your System, and is the lowest form of graffiti writter. Graffiti doesnt have messages, unless its some kind of side quote next to a piece. messages of anarchy and rebellion are considered vandalism. Stay up y'all. Suke-one

Graffiti: (names are fictional urbandictionary editors\!) alex: hey joey, i drew a penis on this tools mailbox it waas sweet\! joey: cool alex\! i wrote anarchy on my neighbors audi\! writter: stupid toys.

8. (graffiti) (67↑, 10↓)
Graffiti is the practice of systematically and stylistically marking infrastructure.

Since graffiti as a spatial practice and urban art movement pre-dates [hip hop] by over 10 years (having begun in Philadelphia with the writer Cornbread in the late 1960s) it is spurious at best to link graffiti and hip hop as mutually constitutive. Furthermore, many of the most prolific graffiti writers have been inspired by [punk], heavy metal, classic oldies, and [funk] in addition to hip hop. Since graffiti is a spatial practice produced on both private and public spaces, "graffiti style" lettering and characters in sanctioned spaces such as galleries or places of capitalist consumption on canvas, t-shirts, or any other packaged and confined objects merely shares in and emulates stereotypical graffiti imagery, but is not itself graffiti. Graffiti cannot accurately be attributed to any one group or style of practitioner other than those who adhere to the aesthetic norms and mores of the graffiti community at large.

9. (graffiti) (93↑, 45↓)
A form of art, using spray cans, markers, and anything else that can be used. Usually done in the streets.

The use of spray paint, markers, etc. to draw (or "tag" if you're using spray paint) on public or private property. Considered to be a form of vandalism, but a form of "art" to those who partake in it.

I don't want your graffiti on my house. I don't care if it is "art."

11. (graffiti) (100↑, 67↓)
graffiti is a tradition of man.. before it really became more evolved in the subway yards and on the streets of new york by its inner city youth. graffiti consists of individuals with their own alter ego, name. that they use to "bomb" with. (to go out and get their name up everywhere they go) usually when these individuals start off they are influenced by the style and artform of the letters. some are also influenced by the names seen around their city or just graffiti itself. graffiti is also the first element of hip-hop and tagging is the first element of graffiti. graffiti can be very simple on the outside. but once explored there are many things one must be open minded enough to learn.

yeah, i write "graffiti" (my name my alter ego my alias my alm de plume my style my technique...)

Art that uses the world as a canvas. If the artist has paid to use the canvas, it can no longer be considered graffiti. Tagging, printed stickers, pieces, and posters can all be considered graffiti, as long as they do not include any corporate advertising.

Tags, stickers, pieces, posters, are all graffiti.

The act of getting your name up... the majority of the writers do it in a writing sense, not promoting a gang. Alan Keyes disgraced the term, and perhaps doesn't realize that writers have been bombing the system since the 60's, unlike most any gang.

Graffiti is a way of life, not a throwup that some toy did to call out a gang, that shit is just scribbles for dumbasses. DAMN\! I can't wave to my friend because I am afraid I am gonna get shot, damn those gangs and their hand symbols... and fuck alan keyes.

16. (graffiti) (20↑, 8↓)
an art form, generally associated with the hip hop community has become a largely caucasian practiced artform but still has close roots to hip hop unfortunately since it became so popular among all aspects from rich to poor has become a competition and has lost its free feeling of doing whatever you want and expressing yourself through paint and markers, now kids are upsessed with calling each other toys and has become away for suburban white kids to feel like bad ass graffiti gangsters just because they can draw better then some other kid, although the free feeling of graffiti is still alive theres always the threat of a rival graffiti crew beating you up for painting under a bridge over there piece, this mainstreaming of graffiti is both helping writers become more widely accepted and not have to worry about the law or societys views so much but has also come with its consequences such as these "graffiti gangsters", stop calling kids toys and talking shit, your just destroying the culture and freedom that graff is all about, everybody started somewhere, and all you "non-toys" all sucked ass at graff at one point to, let em learn

kids practicing his graff on a wall graff gangsters:hey kid your a fuckin toy stop painting *kids kick his ass* kid goes home discouraged, never writes again, graffiti dies a little bit more THANKS "REAL WRITERS"\!

Graffiti is for graffiti artists. No one else. Graffiti is a crime, and thats part of the beauty. Its a punch to the state. People say its misunderstood. It is what it is. Government, the pigs, the public all hate it and give it a bad name blah blah blah... Well good. Us graffiti artists could care less if you like it or you hate it, actually its probably better if you hate it and it pisses you off. Whats the point of it all? Getting known through out the graffiti community, being recognized for doing the dangerous and daring and making art mean while. Its art and anarchy combined. BOMB WALLS NOT COUNTRIES

Drone(Walking to work) : ohhh my god\! that writing is ugly and its destructive\! Graffiti Artist(incognito): yeeaaahh thats right bitch...

A broad term used to describe the many forms of urban art. Commonly associated with: 1. tag 2. piece 3. throwie/throwup, 4. handy/handstyle, 5. bomb/bombing 6. stencil 7. toy 8. writer 9. all city king

1. the writing of someones name on any sueface in an aggresive/street style 2. a well thought out and excecuted mural. Usually with the permission of the owners/buisness. Takes time and shows skill, effort, and/or appreciation for the graff style in which it is presented. 3. a quick style of graffiti usually represented in the form of bubble letters. 4. the ever-changing signature of a graffit artist. 5. to intentionally paint the streets with ones "art". (i say this because many individuals attempt to bomb before they have created a respectable style, and instead, litter the streets with unwanted/needed paint. it then becomes the job of more established artists to return civility to the graff community by covering up their hideous mess) 6. cut-n-spray teqnique used to cover a vast number of wallspace in the least time possible 7. lowest form of a graffiti artist. not an artist, but rather someone who writes their name simply because they can. they are given no respect by the graff community and therfore, have to work twice as hard to gain respect. 8. someone who devotes much time and energy in formulating a style that many look up to/copy for future reference. 9.

Graffiti is artistic vandalism. It is a form of creative expression characterized by the act of defacing public or private property. the term refers to images or artistic lettering scratched, scrawled, painted, or marked on property generally not owned by the graffitist. Graffiti is an issue surrounded by a great deal of controversy regarding its validity and legality; many consider graffiti to be a progressive and meaningful art-form while others regard it as unwanted, unsightly damage to personal property.

Girl: Look at that gorgeous mural, the artist must be incredibly talented. He turned that boring brick wall into an artistic masterpiece. Boy: Graffiti isn't art, it's vandalism. That boring brick wall was not his to paint.

21. (Graffiti) (4↑, 2↓)
A type of art where the graffiti writer can express themselves with their own style and influence in their peices, throw ups or tags. Graffiti has nothing to do with gangs, gang violence or defacing private property, as the media portrays it.

Bob: Did you see that gang graffiti up on 3rd street? Joe: That's not gang graffiti, dumb shit.

"Art without restrictions" Graffiti is a form of art, just like calligraphy is a form of writing. Very often misinterpreted by large media outlets as being vandalism and destruction of property. It is pretty much the exact opposite. Graffiti can be made in many different ways and different styles. [Tagging] is a very basic form of graffiti, where one writes his or her chosen nickname or pseudonym on a wall or similar surface. [Throw ups] is a bit more complex but not really that harder than tagging. Throw ups are basically larger tags that incorporate bubble letters, drop shadow, and other things (including white outlines.) [Pieces] are incredible works of graffiti, this can include characters, mixed color schemes, and can vary in size, too (one can be two stories high if you are looking in the right place.) Graffiti also has a cousin called [street art], but that's its own form of art.

Graffiti is an artform, don't let anyone tell you the opposite.

26. (Graffiti) (2↑, 2↓)
According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, graffiti is “an inscription or drawing made on some public surface…a message or slogan…” As an artist, graffiti provides a platform for self-expression, in which the context of urban existence is directly informed, referenced and influenced by. As a student, graffiti was the only art form that provided representation of my community, my music, and my values. As an educator, graffiti has the potential to engage youth with familiar priorities of urban identity, agency, and navigation. I propose graffiti is a containment of identity, as defined by Margot Waddell, by allowing me to build an identity based purely on the merit of my efforts, liberating me away the marginalization of my physical identity. “Tagging is not simply an act of vandalism or violence; it is a social practice with its own rules and codes – a literacy practice imbued with intent and meaning.” – MacGillvray & Curwen Graffiti. (n.d) In Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary. MacGillivray, L., & Curwen, M. S. (2007). Tagging as a Social Literacy Practice. Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 50(5), 354-369. Waddell, M. (1998). Inside Lives: Psychoanalysis and the Growth of the Personality. New York: Routledge.

27. (Graffiti) (2↑, 3↓)
The act of marking a surface with markers/mops,aerosol paint,bucket paint,tar,scratching the surface,etc. It is usually done illegally on private or public property. Legal work is not graffiti, it's graffiti influenced art. Graffiti has exsisted since cave drawings, but modern graffiti (other than gang graffiti) didn't begin until the early to mid 60's in philly.It is often misunderstood by the mainstream as being hip-hop. Graffiti is an important part of hip-hop, but hip-hop is not an important part of graffiti. It exsisted way before hip-hop. There is no one type of person(writers) who creates graffiti. People of every race,religion,gender,age,sexual oreintation,or social class participate.

look to the streets for examples of graffiti.

(Off topic: I agree with Jawn, Long Live Graffiti Brotha'\!) Street Art usually Spray-Painted but can also be Brush Painted,etc. Any other kind of "art"(such as writing names,body parts,etc. on walls aren't art so that's what I'll call vandalism)that doesn't depict any kind of offending image or writing is the Hip-Hop art of Graffiti. For all these years, people have been critisizing the meaning of Graffiti...some people called it Vandalizing(Usually the cops), others called it a "waste of wall space" and a couple few called it, just a waste of time and pointless(And by the few I mean like the "Gangsta'" Rappers like P. Diddy who actually helped the U.S. to be "Anti-Graffiti" in the Nation of America). But like Jawn said, it's art, and art is not intended to be destroyed...but even though it's written on walls(Painted)doesn't mean they want to kill somebody.

Long Live Graffiti, the true art of the soul.

37. (graffiti) (6↑, 11↓)
A form of art that expresses an indevidual (writer).People commonly mistake all graffiti to be associated to gangs while around only 10% is by them. The artists are known as taggers, writers and they come up with monikers or names that describe themselves or just sound cool and they develope there own style into there art. Thats how taggers eventually become "kings" by having the freshest, unique style. This is not the only graffiti however. The common sayings on bathroom stalls and other places is also considered graffiti.For example "I was here" or certain poitical sayings or even cartoon characters scribed in.

That writers up around the whoe city. Hes a graffiti king

Vandalism committed by gangbangers and their suburban wannabes (Who never tag up their own neighborhoods because if their parents found out, they would take away the BMW) in my friggin' neighborhood using paint, scratching glass, poo, mud, etc. Popularized in graffiti shows by shitheads like Mark Ecko and the crappy Scion toaster company who don't like graffiti in their own neighborhoods either. It was bad enough when it was gangs marking territory. Now there are overgrown little kids who crave attention and want their tag to show up on the news. Get your parents to buy you some canvas, or go cut yourself, or take ex and nitrous, or drugs, or whatever else you do for kicks, and just hurt yourself, and leave Richmond alone you wannabes. Cochinos\!

Those cochinos think their graffiti is art, but it just makes my ghetto look more ghetto.

51. (graffiti) (33↑, 111↓)
Newspaper of the streets. Contrary to the relatively recent "art" interpretations that naive hip-hoppers have applied to graffiti, it is instead the longstanding form of communication by street gangs. Gangbangers place complex designs on public and private property to identify turf, to intimidate or disrespect enemies, and to display action orders. Hip-hoppers who make impassioned defenses of graffiti as some "cultural artistic expression" simply confuse the issue for people in the mainstream. In its newest and least form, graffiti is simple vandalism by naive hip-hoppers. In its oldest and worst form, it is a mode of communication for domestic terrorists (gangbangers).
