I was stuck at some train tracks in my area, and some of the graffiti on the trains left a gap around the safety information about weight limits and such.
Not all of them did. Those that didn’t had to be painted over and re-written, but only the safety section. They left the rest alone.
There was some mutual acceptance happening on both sides of the effort that warmed my heart.
As a graffiti enthusiast, I can say that is definitely part of “the rules”. Graffiti has a code of conduct, depite it appearing like anarchy. Many new writers are ignorant of it.
Don’t tag:
Personal property
Places of religion
Memorials
Shipping or cargo data (like those train cars)
Places that are kept clean/painted (it’s going to get covered frequently)
It drives me nuts when people graffiti over the street signs on the freeway. Like damn, you’re hurting you community when there’s vast stretches of concrete retaining walls 20 feet away you could be spray painting.
Graffiti is a spectrum: on one hand, you get beautiful murals that add something to the structure, making it more than what it was.
On the other hand, you get dicks and swastikas.
Tattoos are the same way. There’s a difference between someone having a beautiful sleeve done and someone who has TRUMP tattooed on their forehead.

Anarchy isn’t a synonym for chaos my dude. If graffiti has a code of conduct that isn’t enforced by a government, that’s definitely Anarchy.
This explains why the liquor store down the street has a Jesus mural on the side.

An example to further your point: I have an album of these I took earlier this year. It was exciting to stumble across.
There’s definitely a difference between guerilla art and “fuckup was here.”
When I click the image, it flips over the X-axis. That’s weird as hell.
There is probably some info in the exif data that is being ignored by one and not the other.
Same here, on sync.
Damn, I feel left out. Jerboa didn’t do it. I wonder what the difference was
Neither does Voyager
Speaking of Voyager, do you think New Glenn will launch on New Years Eve?
