Steve-O Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 why is there so much beef in graff? i m in the 303. and its like a drama T.V. when i started graff it was about the art. it wasnt about killing some one if you got crossed on a dumbster. about having friends there for you on your crew. So what is graff about? Death? Freindships with krew? Getting up? art? or what the fuck? let me know. peace. Mar88. SRk Gw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!@#$% Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Ego. Most people in graffiti have big egos, otherwise, they wouldn't want to mark their territory and where they've been by writing stuff everywhere. When egos get bruised, especially the ego of a maladjusted insecure twentysomething guy, people get their panties in a bunch and shit talk pops off. Graffiti is user defined. No rules or guidelines for the lawless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_b0b Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 There isn't that much beef in graf, it is just the beef there is you seem to always hear about. Also any group made up of many young men, being all macho, is bound to have beef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gren1 bnc Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 its all true i feel graf is about status and proving it .... if you do this by smashing in someones face who lined you thats that....i say just mind what you do and get up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illestpapoe!!!! Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 its about getting attention while acting like we hate getting attetnion... and the visual attraction of seeing it.. anyway its narrow minded to say whats graff about as if theres only one answer, theres tons of aspects to every catagory, and within those aspects theres a million other aspexcts linked... but and thers still many main aspects directly linked to "what its about" im guessing you made this post to hear people respond that graffiti is about any other thing but beef, probly cause you rin a down position right now beef is an aspect that comes with it, the sport take any sport... hockey, its a sport with desgin (which is attracive), fun to participate in, other aspects come are ego and attention people kinda go for and is a part of the motive (feels good to get attention as long as you dont drarw attentin to that), and yes beef is another aspect, can be to impress people as well as anger revenge (kill two birds), and often starts a chain reaction people beef as humans in whatever interaction situations why do we beef (in times) make a list of reasons... whcih can apply to graffiti or to large scale country wars... whatever see if you can think of some reasons and ass to the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illestpapoe!!!!

GLIK$ Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 Beef in graff is thanks to teenagers and young bulls who have something to prove because they havent done anything with a can yet. People inherit beef thanks to crew members. Kids go out looking for beef (refer back to the young one status) when they want quick fame. People grow up, beef dies... Usually.

Quoted post settle it like men? i'm closer to middle aged than you are to being a man, so don't pull the old "blah blah i'll smash you" crap. read your post again and count the spelling and grammatical errors, then tell me how i'm supposed to understand it. fine ill stop posting then... please do. or at the very least, if you're going to post can you leave out the unrelenting torrent of stupid questions about anything and everything. try thinking for yourself and stop relying on other people to make up your mind and for your opinions for you.

illestpapoe!!!! Posted January 14, 2005 Share Posted January 14, 2005 sorry.. (and i think everyone thinks for themself) its just like when I want to confirm an answer i play dumb to see what answers other people give... its almost like a joke when i get on the computer (i and everyone else can act anyway they want and give any impression, but i think everyone has everything and can get used to any type of behacior attitude over time, but the way it is is we play our role by reacting to how the person presented his/her self... dont dwell and keep moving is the key (build confidence= goal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
