The people who do the tagging—the active members representing their block through spray paint or markers. A tagger crew earns respect by consistently hitting territory, showing presence, and defending their turf if someone tries to cross them.

Street crews known for repping their identity through graffiti — usually with three- or four-letter acronyms or coded alphanumeric ciphers. They earn respect by consistently tagging walls, marking territory, and defending their turf if someone dares to cross them. They might not be full-blown gangs, but they’re definitely not pushovers — disrespect their tags, and you might end up on their opp list.
“Aye, don’t touch that wall — the tagger crews from around here beefin over that spot. You tryna get pressed?” — Neighborhood locals
