[Chump]

[ca$hville]

i think the city needs a bit more color

[IlikePie]

I suck at it less than other things....

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

i hate those people im searchign for the answer that will have them like

one i came up with is

i love it...i cant jus STOP...what are you talkign about..put it this way..you love your son...if some one was trying to take him from you your not just gonna say ok...take him
your gonan fight and do everytign you can to keep him..

[IlikePie]

You guys are pretty corny....

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

no duh..it has to be corny to get out of it...

like this...i got caught cuz i tagged a book in school..and my tag is everywher where i coem from..

so the dean of discipline comes in my art class and catches me writing what else than my tag..and she says..lets go...your in troubleso there searchign threw all my shit find my black book in my bag..( i shouldve said wtf you cant search me)..but they wouldve brought the cop in make a bigger scene then it was

so she says oh so this is you huh...your the one whos ben tagging our books?..oh wait i think ive see nthis around lawrence so thats you destroying property?

so i said..no im sorry..i lied and said it was me to get popular..i jus wanted friends...and put a sad face..and they were like oh ok...were sorry...if you find out who it is tell us please..

if you think ..no ones is gonna say shit to that there not gonna be like bullshit where you mom !!..blah blah..becuz you can say they were verbally abusing you

[MontanaPainter]

isnt there a thread like this?

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

no...this is different..

[ASLOS]

who the fuck cares, do what you want when you want, why do you have to defend yourself or explain it

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

this is for people who need answers when people tell you

who do you think you are yo cant do what you want when you want...destroying people property..blah blah blah..just give good answers that they will not be willing to say some thing back to..thats all

[g!st.er.ONER]

i write cuz i want to have another identity that everyone knows cuz they see your shit on every freight that roles by and realize its all the same person. i want people to look at my shit and be like "shit thats one crazy fool" and not even know its little old me haha

[Mags]

I'd tell them that giving the world another piece of art at the expense of one building's owner is a pretty good deal.

what is this from?^^^

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

Respiration - Black Star..

its a song about graffiti in newyork...yet they never mention the words graffiti ..or spray paint...its preety sick

im wrestlin with words and ideas
My ears is picky, seekin what will transmit
the scribes can apply to transcript, yo
This ain't no time where the usual is suitable
Tonight alive, let's describe the inscrutable
The indisputable, we New York the narcotic
Strength in metal and fiber optics

very good with words as you can see

[Fish2]

i do graff cuz paint runs in my blood... no literally, i got a blood transfusion with a needle covered with paint

[Case-One]

i write graffiti because i like when people wake up and look at the neighboorhood and say, FUCK! what the shit happend here last night?! and i just love it, it's unexplainable!

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

^^ I Think The Same Exact Thing....

i love it when peopel think dam who did all this...when did they do it ...how ?...

i wonder what he looks like and they imagine some dude in a huge hood big and scary...( the typical person thinks that)

[Derogatory9o5]

I guess for the sake of writing on shit.... but nahh lol I guess I just started randomly cause I was seeing it around and now i can't stop ....

[b3aT]

i do it because it helps me with my anger..love to rebel like this..also cause in a way, its like communicating with other artists

[EMAK]

graffiti is just a FAT ASS HABIT!!!!...no dount this has to be a goood one..yahaha

[speak504]

why i paint,
-addiction
-get rid of anger
-everythings to plain
-puts a smile on people's faces
-to fuck up texas's shit
-art is fucking amazing

[Pryze$]

i do it because it helps me with my anger..love to rebel like this..also cause in a way, its like communicating with other artists

like the same thing man

[Olick]

i just feel like doing it.

adrenaline.

no drugs. no alcohol.

gotta have somethin exciting =D hah

[CorrereLaCitta]

I like doing it because its some thing to do while your walking the streets at night and its just fun to do. You get better get your rep up in the local area and then if you want get a few mates to come with you and get them to start writing if they want too. Then once you have done that start a crew then put people your down with in it if they want to be. Then before you know it you seeing your crew name all over your city or area.

[STR-WHO]

because im mentally ill

[ODonthesetrees]

if you need a reason to give other people you're in it for the wrong reason, ask them why they masturbate...some people consider that a sin, so why do they do it

[Olick]

CAUSE ITS AWESOME!!!

and its only a sin if you think about naked girls. which is kinda hard
yeah. i did my internet research. =]


my reason aint even good. i just do it cause i like to

[Steel!]

masturbation or graffiti? ...or both =D

[vman]

deny,deny,deny.

[sham->]

because imma kid in a world that giving people respect for what they have to say is OPTIONAL...ive tried so hard to give others respect, but nobody listens to a kid without any friends. ive been through like 7 schools, so about this time ive lost a good amount of true friends...nobody takes me seriously, especially the so called "friends" that i have now, they say i dont graff (now i cant prove that cause to me, telling someone you graff is just stupid)

sorry for the long azz story

graff just amazes me because a little person nobody gives a shit about can whip open a marker or a can and give themselves a name....if someone just see graffiti as a pest, let them, they cant take away what you did

and graff writers seem alot more conscious about the real world than the shallow kids i go to school with

[ReVnG]

aww shutup fag

[hazetheone]

because i realy dont like police
because someone has to do it
and the famous i dont know

[FidelGastro]

worst thread ever.

if you get caught, deny deny deny

fail thread by annoying member

[PureSole]

beacuse i was born this way

[ca$hville]

i do graff for many reasons
love
anger
taking risks
fame
graffiti is like a drug for me ...a very addicting drug

[sham->]

haha Gastro...i wouldnt give an explaination if i get caught, the cops wouldnt give a damn, i would just choose to remain silent. when you do that you dont have to worry about saying the wrong thing, but at the same time you wouldnt be able to talk your way out of it

[Juicee]

i do graffiti because everything is too fucking clean. I like it dirty and gritty with the sweet smell of toxic paint fumes.

[Lucas]

Toxic fumes, bright colors, what's not to like?

[Cause816]

It honestly can't be explained why we all write. It's inside of us and we all do it for personal reasons. No one that honestly writes gets into it for the fame. They get into it to spread their "word" and get up

[E-Terror]

youre gay as hell


i do write for that fame. i want my name in everyones mouth. i wanna fuck up as much shit that isnt mine as possible whenever i go out. fuck art, fuck the notion that everything is reinforced by reason, i write cause its fun.

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

^^^now thats " Stories of a Harsh youth nothin but the truth " ..LOLLLLL

[unreal180]

why not gives me somthing to do innit

[unreal180]

youre gay as hell


i do write for that fame. i want my name in everyones mouth. i wanna fuck up as much shit that isnt mine as possible whenever i go out. fuck art, fuck the notion that everything is reinforced by reason, i write cause its fun.


well said man lol

[thatkidyouknew]

i write to be known to be talked about by people who dont write

[SCIEnce802]

The rush is the best..
And if you like art and u dont like the law, its perfect for u..
and its just HELLA FUN

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

LMAOOO its funny how you said...THE RUSH IS THE BEST

because i write THE RUSH ..lOLZZ

i write to stay up..
and i stay up to write..< - -heard that sumwhere

i write for the money, the woman, and the fame..that means ill end up in hell scorchin in flames...

[IlikePie]

Hmmm.... This thread still fails, E-terror told it best, should just be his post at the front of the page and just lock it and leave it at that....

[Rots takes your Daughters]

IF YOU GET CAUGHT AND THEY SAY "Why did you do this" AND YOU REPLY WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN "..." You're a FUCKING moron.

[nero112]

because i have stickitothemanlyosis ..

[WoeInfinite]

^^ ha school of rock?
yeah but for real, that adrenaline is like no other.
and then you just like to be able to look at a wall, and be like yeah, thats me, thats how i feel, blah blah all that, and then the part wheere you know everyone else is looking at it is dope

[nero112]

i do it for the feeling but i dont go out much cos im scared of the cops ...haha anyone remember that fag?

[geneparmesan]

i do it cause all the cool kids do it.
duh. :cool: :rolleyes:

[Auspicious]

My parents are divorced and my father just passed away. I'd rather paint the city then start doing drugs or start hurting people.

Perfect answer. :)

[Blood Horror Show]

^^^ definitely good answer. i paint because without that rush, my life would be so boring. i dont skate anymore and im not in school anymore. all i do is sleep all day. and also my parents are divorced and it fucked up a lot of things.

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

i paint becuase i love pissing people the fuck off....

[Darkeist]

Express myself, take out my frustrations and just something for me to do.

[SALVO]

Because I'm a sad sad little hermit of a man who thrives on bringing people down with him.

[T_R_O_N]

because everything the typical person is supposed to be good at I suck, but all the illegal things in life im quite adept .

[cebs oner]

all i know i s graf been in it since 95 its my life fuck the system bomb hard straight graf life its that killa cali sintral valely

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

Good reasons to give why you do graff


" Just to stay on top "

[Roolete]

no duh..it has to be corny to get out of it...

like this...i got caught cuz i tagged a book in school..and my tag is everywher where i coem from..

so the dean of discipline comes in my art class and catches me writing what else than my tag..and she says..lets go...your in troubleso there searchign threw all my shit find my black book in my bag..( i shouldve said wtf you cant search me)..but they wouldve brought the cop in make a bigger scene then it was

WHY IS THIS KID NOT BANNED?

[IlikePie]

We'd get in trouble for hate crimes :(

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

WHY IS THIS KID NOT BANNED?


Why is this kid writing in all caps and why is he an asshole ?

idk i guess its just another mystery of the earth

[Roolete]

We'd get in trouble for hate crimes :(

haha i was thinking of that. you're genius.

banks, PLEASE stop making threads.

[IlikePie]

Or posting.... That would be cool too.

[acereborn]

he isnt banned because he haz teh cheezzbrgr of pwerzz

i say a good reason to do graff is for the fame, fun, and because you can express yourself

[IlikePie]

because you can express yourself

I hate this excuse for reasons unknown....

*Edit*
I just remembered the first sentence you wrote, yeah, not funny, die in a hole. Thanks :)

[Roolete]

Or posting.... That would be cool too.

[Roolete]

office space is just an awesome movie no matter what the situation is. im really sick of his wannabe-gangster-cop killa-graff4lyfe threads.

[IlikePie]

I'm sick of graffiti writers...

[Asshat]

******

[IlikePie]

That's right, I said it!

[JETPACK!!]

why is this thread any different from the "why you graff thread" im pretty sure my reason would be the same whether its a good reason or not...

[NoCanControl]

so she says oh so this is you huh...your the one whos ben tagging our books?..oh wait i think ive see nthis around lawrence so thats you destroying property?

kansas??

[letsg0skate]

If people say you shouldn't write because it's ugly, ask if they think ugly people shouldn't be able to leave their house. Also just because you don't like someones voice, they shouldn't be allowed to talk? Another argument people use is, "you wouldn't want someone writing on your house", well if I screwed over everyone, and a had a budget of over $100,000 a year (way more in some places) to clean it up then I wouldn't mind so much. Last, if they say, "what about the person who has to clean it up", well now they have a job that pays $18 an hour without going to college. I've thought of a million more excuses haha but I'm not gonna list them all.

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

why is this thread any different from the "why you graff thread" im pretty sure my reason would be the same whether its a good reason or not...


its different because you have to give GOOD reasons why you do graff

as in if people are saying why are you doing this...and you come up with some good ass answer that will make them stfu ...

[RetroLikeWhoa13]

well, i was sitting in my garage one day staring at the sniper rifle i'd just bought, i had decided to walk downtown with a briefcase and climb the stairs to the top of the bell tower at st. patrick's church and start picking people off and just as the police stormed the building and were flushing me out i would take my own life. as i was getting up to leave i tripped over a spray paint can, my head hit a stud the wall and i was knocked unconcious for about 8 hours. when i woke up i looked over at the can of silver aluminum spray paint and an epiphany hit me. i walked around downtown that night with that can of paint just writing words that popped into my head. i got home that night and felt so fulfilled. the next day i pawned my rifle and used all of the money to buy paint, ink and other graffiti type supplies. consider this, you still have your life, and a job, and thank your higher being that i found that can of silver aluminum paint that night.

[KrazyKrac]

i do graff cause its a disorder i have
you know like in superbad where seth couldnt toucha pen to paper without drawing a dick, ive got that same problem, but instead i cant let anythin go ungraffed.
i have medical papers for it :D

^^^^^^^^

[SKILO1]

i do it to just release shit. to get down with some anonymous rebelious shit with my boys and i love the rushhhh.

[Tiros1]

"blank walls represent blank minds"

"bombin's not a hobby, it's a habit"





personally tho, i'm fueled by so many things... the corrupt police, the ignorant hate filled citizens who'd rather a graffiti writer die than paint walls, the government, the fact that interracial marriage wasn't legal in all 50 states in the USA until 1967, the war in iraq, the prison industry, the fact that 1 out of every 100 american citizens are in jail and the fact that if things kept steady on this course by 2037 every american would be in jail, my PO, my warrants, the cops who harass my mom trying to find me, my wife, my son, every NRA member and gun owner in general, that kid munik who got killed by police for doing a piece, the cops who cussed me out when i was 12 years old just for having a lighter, the church of latter day saints, myspace.com, mcdonalds and all other fast food, the tabacco industry, the price of gas, the economy/inflation in general, every television/movie loving and art hating american, everyone who's never read a book since highschool, shitty jobs, colleges/universities giving false hope/promises, clubs full of idiots and raves full of young teens, the bush administration, every conservative/republican, house parties get you no where, the schedule/routine of wake-work-eat-fuck-drink-sleep repeat gets fucking old,

kinging in the graffiti game is the hardest form of fame to accomplish...


graffiti is a bad ass bitch that's always taunting you every time you leave the house...daring you to take bigger risks for her, promising to get you off harder than last time

i am refurbishing this building this is the base coat before i put the primer on

[ESKiMO2]

The first time I noticed it when I was about 6 I just loved the flow of it. I couldn't even attempt it at that age so I looked at it wherever I went for a while. Years later I decided it was time to try it out. I could barely do shit but I knew I loved it.

[Coda01]

Just say every day is a drag and you hate life and this one thing is ur release.

I had nothing in life I enjoyed before graff. No girl no job no hobbies just a tag I put everywhere.

Just point out maybe that you pay for rehab programs for junkies, better school systems, and all other shit that doesn't benefit you (through taxes) so they can pay for the removal of my name cause I pay for shit I don't want through government so they can feel my scorn for once.

I usually say something towards that attack if someone drills me with the idea that "they pay for the cost of my fun"

But frankly I agree with fuck justifying it just say eat a dick and walk off ay.

[~Star~]

i write to piss you mother fuckers off

[*cept*]

I do graff to piss off my bitch ass mom who made me take out the fucking trash. god she's such a cunt.

ITT: angry teenagers.

[Slushi]

Dont talk about your mother that way.

[Kao.Ali]

when someone asks why I do graffiti.
I ask them why they don't do graffiti.

[The_NaMEz_BaNKz]

and when they say ..because its destroying property ..and all that shit..then they say..now why do you do it ?...

[ESKiMO2]

What would you say to someone with no hands?

[Rune1]

just say cause god killed dinosaurs.
now fuck off.
thats the perfect answer.

i had to move on from masturbation.
also my mom wouldnt allow me to bake in the kitchen anymore.

[AMEK_WRS]

people can probably do graffiti with their feet.
if they can chop onions and feed children, they can spray shit on a wall.

[Tiros1]

and when they say ..because its destroying property ..and all that shit..then they say..now why do you do it ?...

i live in america...all of this land is stolen, i'm fucking up property that doesn't actually belong to the people claiming ownership. only a native american can tell me not to get up.

i'd tell them that construction of any kind is destruction/defacing/vandalism of mother earth's property

not really


if someone really started coming at me like that i think i'd probably have to steal their shoes to remind them what real crime is




just say cause god killed dinosaurs.
now fuck off.
thats the perfect answer.


I LOL'D

[South-Pole]

only one reason,cause i fucking love it

[Liquid Soul]

I started writing because I'm an artist who adores the culture, over time the reasons for me to carry on have changed, a major part of why I write now is to remember people, give something to people that mean a lot to me, each tag is like a small dedication to those who I've lost and loved.

[BeRT08]

[- Alexancler -]

I do it for a breath of freedom. When I am writing, I feel free, and that is the only fucking time I feel free. I forget about everything else, fuck my friends, fuck the school, fuck the society, I just concentrate about getting up, getting the rush, living life. My regular life is filled with homework, which I do, cause I wanna have them grades, get the good job, earn the money. But I can't concentrate on this, if I can't have my sessions, doing graffiti.

All of these things mixed together gives: ADDICTION. I would say that I am addicted to graffiti. I have tried to pull out of it, because my life would fuck up if I did it, but I just can't stop. It also makes my day fullfilled, it gives me something to do.

And because I suck at most other things. Many boys play football, I hate football, AND I suck at it. Some people dance(the real guys do CripWalk, the girls with dicks do jumpstyle), I haven't got any skill for that.. The only thing I can do is graffiti.

SORRY for this being such a mess, but I just write what pops up in my head.

[Basic954]

If you have to come to an online forum to find a good reason to do graffiti then you shouldn't be doing it at all. That just shows how ignorant you are to the true spirit and drive behind graff.

i do it cuz i fuckin can

[fannypack uprock]

methinks if you feel like you need a good reason to give why you do it then possibly you shouldnt be doing it? i personally need no sort of validation.

[Alyssa]

If you've seen the documentary Bomb It, they bring up a lot of good arguments defending graffiti. The biggest points they bring up revolve around the idea that the government claims they are reducing crime and increasing the quality of life by eliminating graffiti, but that's not really true at all. The question is -Who's quality of life? Do large boring gray walls improve anyone's quality of life? And vandalism, though it may be illegal, is such a small crime compared to all the other shit that is happening in the world. Graffiti seems to often serve as a way to bring a message to a large audience, and so yeah maybe you are vandalizing, but sometimes that's the only way to get your idea or concept out there. Graffiti communicates something of substance unlike all of the bombarding advertisements that our society can't escape for one second. All of these ugly billboards are what need to be painted over, in my opinion. One guy in the film said something like "taggers aren't selling anything, they only want to show they exist." Anyways, I can't give as good of an answer as the documentary does, but it's something like that.

It was a good film. I watched it three times.

[SONE.]

I bomb because i hate the regualr media. advertisements are forced down my throat all day long, and it's impossible to hide from them. so fuck them, im going to advertise myself. Put something up on the walls without some shallow moneygrab ideology behind it.

I do it because the rush you get while painting is one that is unmatched by anything else, and the feeling of seeing your work the next day, and the number of people that see that and think about it, notice it and notice you, yet it's an identity within an unknown identity. People know who legends are, but only by what they write. And the fact that so much can be done in one night, so close to others, but without detection, that's why I write.

but really they buff graffiti, because it's contributed to the "broken window theory". Pretty much, streets look unlawful and whatnot with graffiti on them. It looks like a city where they don't care, think about it, do low crime areas have A SHIT TON OF GRAFFITI? No. Period. (if they do- they get buffed)

The function of the police is social control, and protection of property.
Not to fight crime.
WORD, you can argue about how we're all going to be manipulated by the government or are the crazy theories you kids have. But we do graffiti, and it's going to get buffed sooner or later.
Frankly, I'm just trying to live the happiest life I can while I'm on the side of this dirt. Let's face it, in 20 years you're going to regret what you didn't do, not what you did. We're all going to die, so go bombing.

you all sound so stupid

the only legitimate reason on here is "i do it for the lulz"

[sallybsk]

oh yes, for the lulz.
I think I'm going to get mah girlfriend(kind of) to start painting, anyone tried this? It seems like a bad idea, but... at the same time, it'd be fun.

Colors and designs look better than rusty metal or cracked bricks.

[goonzatwork]

my city looks like shit. i'm artistic and this is my way of expressing my dislike for the way the place and things i am surrounded by look, by taking all of my emotion and artistic ability, and releasing it through graffiti.

and bump that speedy

I like to destroy a blank wall with some colour, I like to trash a corporations pretty wall with some colour.
because this city with all it's bullshit makes me angry, so I'm letting them know.
To destroy shit basically, and for the rush.
for the same reason Hillary climbed Everest.
