There's a new wave of new graffiti lately, it's everywhere between Bedford and Malcolm X and it's just from one kid who goes by the name of HOAX.
His tag is on private residence walls and all the recently painted brown commercial walls, sometimes 3-4 times on one location, I've seen at least a 100 in the hood since the last month. This kid is going crazy it's even on cars!
What can we do to stop this 1 kid from going nuts on the streets.

    whatever it is, it's an effin disgrace.

    don't throw up tags on cars. don't do it on a private home. have some respect for the nabe. shyt like that creates serious backlash against street art.

    Most of the "tagging" going on around my area is done by Pratt Students, fresh from the heartland : P These kids think they're real clever and arty as all getout. Granted, they do display a good hand, but I'd like to see it applied in Photoshop instead of the house on the corner.

    The thing I don't get is that as a popular culture trend, tagging in its current incarnation has been on the scene since the early 70's, after a fifty year hiatus since the boulder painting Joe College / Rudy Valle days of 1920's. You'd think that 30+ years on the scene would render this form of expression stale and antiquated. Kind of like the Beatles.

    But like Sir Paul, tagging limps on victorious. Maybe we'll be rid of them both some day.

    How can you expect anyone to take you seriously when you say something as asinine as this?

    Maybe he meant the remaining individual Beatles (Paul and Ringo), not the Beatles as a recording group. Either way -- jokes.

    I've noticed this smurfo tag appear in different places...all only one or two smurf lengths from the ground. He sure smurfed that one.

    lol.

    I'm just proud there's a neckface tag in our hood. Makes me feel like we've 'made it'

    Here's a website, although this photo isn't of our nabe.

    I like people tagging over billboard ads on streets and in the subway.

    Maybe its time to adopt the SNL idea of adding a "SUCKS" tag to errant tags.
