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.

Get the graffitotag mug.(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.
