Thoughtless, callous, and spiteful scribbling of a moronic, ugly, most often politically or artistically meaningless, and often illegible tag on public property, be it the sidewall of a residential apartment or the security grate of a storefront, done by witless adolescents who are hell-bent on keeping their ghetto neighborhood a shthole, or vindictively transforming more pleasant neighborhoods to such.
Gee, all that graffiti "art" makes the South Bronx look really nice, doesn't it? There's a real batch of fcking Michalangelo's at work down there. Write on your own sh!t, azzholes.

Vandalism of public property in the form of words or pictures, often with spray paint or magic marker.
Usually contains tags, the artist's name, to mark his/her or his/her group's territory. Graffiti also contains messages of rebellion, anarchy, promotion of drug use and racial hatred.
Writing is almost always stylized and is commonly written in large bubble letters or twisted lines that overlap each other and contain sharp serifs.

Many graffiti artist work years perfecting their craft and will get permission from business owners and city officials to paint "pieces" on walls or billboards, others still prefer the adrenaline rush of bombing city streets illegally.
