Graffiti is artistic vandalism. It is a form of creative expression characterized by the act of defacing public or private property. the term refers to images or artistic lettering scratched, scrawled, painted, or marked on property generally not owned by the graffitist. Graffiti is an issue surrounded by a great deal of controversy regarding its validity and legality; many consider graffiti to be a progressive and meaningful art-form while others regard it as unwanted, unsightly damage to personal property.
Girl:
Look at that gorgeous mural, the artist must be incredibly talented. He turned that boring brick wall into an artistic masterpiece.
Boy:
Graffiti isn't art, it's vandalism. That boring brick wall was not his to paint.

Get the Graffiti mug.A giant piece of paper on the wall whose sole purpose is to house graffiti. The comments, drawings, thoughts, quotes, song lyrics, and nonsense written on it is generally written in marker. When it gets so almost every inch of the paper is filled with something, it is time for a clean start with a new piece of paper.
The graffiti board we had in our 6th grade classroom was a conglomeration of really neat stuff and utter shit, such as "Lisa and Sidney and Stephanie are cool," which was scrawled over the board (by lisa, Stephanie, or Sidney) at least half a dozen times per page, so the total is probably a very high number. There was often a "not" inserted into the sentence by someone who got tired of reading that same shit every day, and this caused much uproar.

Get the graffiti mug.A type of art where the graffiti writer can express themselves with their own style and influence in their peices, throw ups or tags. Graffiti has nothing to do with gangs, gang violence or defacing private property, as the media portrays it.
