The Devil’s Graffiti

The streaks left on the sides of the toilet bowl after an explosive bowel movement, particularly after the first flush.
Them: I’ve already flushed twice and there’s still shit stuck on the toilet

Me: That’s the Devil’s Graffiti, baby. You can’t deface what’s already been defaced.

corporate graffiti

Corporate graffiti is a term used to describe leftover whiteboard content found in a pandemic-abandoned office building. Corporate graffiti paints a picture of a long-forgotten time, when sales figures, design decisions, and metrics masked our collective burnout.
Wow, the corporate graffiti in this office building is crazy - someone was designing a metaverse for old people!

Graffiti

Graffiti is NOT one of the four elements of Hip Hop. This is chronologically impossible. "Graffiti" was first born as "Writin' " in NYC in 1969-70, a decade before rap music reached NYC in the late 70s. Hip Hop which began in the early 80s, can not include "graffiti" as one of its elements, because Writin' or Graffiti surfaced decade before Hip Hop. Hip Hop is really the last element of Writin'.

Graffiti is the plural of the italian "graffito." Graffito in english means to scratch or scribble. What you saw on the NYC subways in the early 70s were no "scribbles. Instead, those of us who started Writin' would call our large letter pieces, masterpieces.

We were WRITERS who WROTE OUR NAMES.We were not "graffiti artists." Every time a new face would appear on the scene, we would always ask two questions, "you write?" and "what you wrtie?" Not "do you do graffiti?"

It was the NYT who first baptized an entire Culture with the denigrating term "graffiti" in 1971.

Why this denigration? The only correct answer to this question is: Racism.

If our last names would have been been Rockefeller, Trump, Bloomberg or Kennedy, instead of Ramirez, Jones or Delgado, then those same powers that be would have named the new Culture with a more formal name. Instead of "graffiti", the NYT would have referred to it as "avant garde pop something art." But because it was invented by the children of the Working Class, the powers that be saw fit to denigrate the entire Culture with "graffiti."
Graffiti is to Writin', what the N word is to African American.
