Graffiti on the transit system reflected the era not the out of control state subway system. It was a way for people to rebel, to show their discontent with the bad economy the horrible state of living they had to endure. During the late 60s through early 80s the bronx, queens, brooklyn and northern manhattan weren't great, the schools sucked, the subway system was a disaster. It was the age of rebellion and graffiti was just an outlet for those, it may not be right, but sometimes its hard for people to scream and not be heard. This time its different the city is different, the MTA making profit off already existing graffiti will not create the explosion seen in the 70s, all this talk is based off of fear and little fact. |
