Vicino a qualsiasi città di medie dimensioni, indipendentemente dalla popolarità, ci sono graffiti ovunque. Perché?

I’ve never liked this form of art. I would definitely prefer mural to them
I don’t think I understand the graffiti of the situation.
Would you prefer the soulless corporate gray ?
Even if I don’t like the graffiti I prefer them to soulless grey cubes
Haha dont visit Berlin
Some bigger ones were sponsored by the ville de Bruxelles. Especially around the grand place area.
Because some people feel the need act like trash and ruin every building they see.
Also because there’s practically no chance of getting caught.
a lot of people do it, train tracks look terrible and are easy to paint. makes the world a little less colorless and lets the people know who lives in the area
Disrespect for the property of others. You see this almost everywhere. If not, then tell me where you do not see it.
Because infamous street fame.
It’s actually pretty good here. I was in Spain a couple of months ago, and from Alicante to Calpe, every abandoned building, every bridge, every big wall, all sprayed with graffiti.
Is it that common? Along train tracks, yeah but idk if I notice it much anywhere else. Certainly doesn’t bother me.
Lots of assholes.
Tangential question: What does GTA mean? I’ve seen it graffitied everywhere, but I only know about the videogame.
Schaarbeek Station with the lines actually located in Brussel-Stad. 🙃
It’s all art. It’s just that some art we can agree is not very good, though there’s at least one person who thinks it’s at least pretty good.
We love Brussels zuid
Graffiti have been around for over 40 years. Surely in urban environments they are the norm, not the exception.
There’s no reason why, people just do it ? Your question doesn’t really make sense and it just seems to be rethorical to vent about the graffitis you see in the train.
But if you want a real answer, people do it for different reason. It could be making art, writing a political message, for the adrenalin or just as a hobby.
North Highway from vienna airport, every single flat piece of anything is tagged, even the junction boxes on public light
These service boxes are on the property of the NMBS. Which are a (federal) government company, but not part of the local government (who are usually responsible to do the cleanup of this kind of stuff). So NMBS is responsible for cleanup here and probably just can’t be bothered.
In other places it mostly matters how much of a priority it is to the local government. Some are very active in cleanup, others have it very low on their priority list.
I really love the big colourful ones, definitely brightens things up. The ppl then defacing these beautiful murals with their shitty tags can eff off
Having some graffiti along the railways is something pretty common in Europe. Actually Brussels has not that much of a graffiti culture compared to other European cities.
My most right-leaning opinion is that this sucks. I often see people defending graffiti but I really don’t get how you look at this and don’t go, wow, that’s fugly. Bunch of people writing meaningless words in big letters with the same artistical taste as an NFT ape or an MS paint deviantart edit of Sonic wearing gold chains and a beanie. “Would you rather have plain gray cement” yes, a thousand times yes. You wouldn’t let your toddlers scribble on your walls because it rightfully makes the house look like a mess, I don’t know why you’d let grown adults scribble ugly nonsense over public property.
Even more egregious when it’s not tagged over a train car or a powerbox but over a 200 year old building or any piece of anything historical. Just no
I wholeheartedly believe the look, sound and smell of a city has an immense effect on its citizens mental health and this shit just makes you feel like you live in a shithole anytime your eyes pass upon em
The philosophical explanation lies more in the existential issues that hinder certain human beings. With millions of people around you in a capitalist world, it becomes increasingly difficult to stand out and be unique, or to have and experience meaning.
One of the manifestations of the resulting cry for attention and recognition is, for example, the feigned form of art called graffiti, when so-called tags or initials are sprayed. These expressions should then represent strength, a unique value, or an enhanced self-image of the artist. In fact, they are and remain empty expressions of a cry for recognition. They will fade away, as cries in the night, in the mass and noise of the world that descends upon us every morning. So, to sum it up: a cry for attention, to stand out from the crowd or pursue uniqueness. These forms of self-expression serve as attempts to carve out individuality in a world that often feels overwhelming with its demands for conformity and uniformity.
Because it costs money to have it removed, at which point somebody will inevitably tag it again. It’s a pointless recurring cost.
I kinda like them though
Cuz we love it
which village are you from?
Called Europe
Why not?
[Broken windows theory](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory). This theory suggests that visible signs of disorder and neglect, such as graffiti, lead to an increase in further disorder and crime. The idea is that if one window is broken and left unrepaired, it signals to others that it is acceptable to break more windows and engage in other forms of vandalism or anti-social behavior.
Try Athens.
Am i the only one here that actually likes graffiti compared to empty concrete blocks?
Why not???
If it’s colorfull and nicely done it’s cool to see around in a concrete world. The stupid little tags i don’t like. It’s like dickhead was here. And most of the time they tag over another artists paintjob
You see it everywhere from time to time. In big cities mostly graffiti, in the municipality where I live vandals with taste,
so ad random art paintings are hung against walls or bus shelters.
The other day they had also hung a Rembrandt against a train, but when the train left, it unfortunately flew off.
It looks nice and the photo as a whole is nice too btw.
Bro, have you been outside ? There’s graffiti all over the place in many big cities. Have you tried Berlin, Hamburg, Paris, Lisbon, London,.. ?
Kids get bored. It’s not that bad in general. I always wondered how they got up there.
