A neighborhood crew defined by the act of tagging—spraying symbols, letters, or codes on walls, buildings, and street corners. Tagging crews often operate like a street crew, sometimes claiming ties to larger gangs, but most focus on visibility, reputation, and psychological control over actual violence.
“That tagging crew from the Westside turned every alley into their gallery—they don’t need guns to run their block.”

Get the Tagging Crewmug. A group of people who fall under one name tagging an abrevation. Although technically not gangs some are known to be involved in gang like activities. They will often X out other tags of other crews and putting their name over it.
Marcus tagged WTK and it got crossed out and was tagged over with DTR he must be in one of those tagging crews

Get the Tagging crewsmug. Less than 50 people, all about neighborhood dominance. Graffiti, territory, and mental warfare over the streets. They make a name for themselves without having to go viral—or violent.
“Respect that Street Crew / Tag Crew—they’ve been moving the block for years with nothing but markers and mindset.”

Get the Street Crew / Tag Crewmug. A squad of usually 15–20 homies who mark their block with a specific symbol or code. Some tag crews function more like a street crew, others claim ties to bigger gangs like the Crips, Bloods, or Sureños. Most focus on “wall banging” over straight-up violence. Still, it takes guts to hit a wall with your crew’s symbol and hold it down when rivals roll through.
“Hyena Crips (83GC) tag crew has been hitting up Five Points nonstop—every wall tells their story.”—Detroiter
