Often, we always attempt to demonstrate the difference betwixt graffiti vs. tagging because there are still a few locals who don't want to understand and attempt to feign anti-social ignorance.
Certainly, it's okay to dislike graffiti and urban art altogether. There's not accounting for taste and SOME of it really is garbage.
