Post 3: Graffiti, Graffiti Everywhere!

Do you know why people are so in to graffiti? Graffiti has really affected and contributed  greatly to our pop culture we see them on shirts, notebook covers, photo-shoots and many more. Why do people embrace this type of art? Maybe because of it's intricate style and color that attracts them the most.

I've searched how graffiti affects culture and this is what I saw, "Graffiti and Hip Hop Culture" written by Juli, in this article it states that graffiti had been a big contribution to culture especially in hip hop, breakdancing, beat boxing, skating, and street fashion.

The article I've read is true because as you see in every music video, movies, and other media related stuff, graffiti is being used to symbolize culture and to add color. Imagine a rapper in a music video without graffiti for his background , what would it be like? It would feel that there is something lacking, because graffiti and hip hop is always linked together no one can ever separate the two and also graffiti represents hip hop.

Also in this article, it is told that graffiti had contributed to fashion. I agree to his statement because in stores they use graffiti fonts for their shirt designs like from Tribal, Tap out, Vans, and many more. Why do you think these stores use graffiti for their designs? It's because their target buyers are guys who are always on the streets who always see the work and appreciates it like skater, rappers, and beat boxers.

Now as I've found out more information to this new type of art I became more interested to it and I would want to be a part of the culture it has.

In conclusion, graffiti has a big contribution to our society not just painting walls, street signs, and buildings but also in our fashion, outfits, movies, music videos, and other culture like hip hop and many more.
