I think stencilling and grafitti are two different things. In stencilling, your not really using any of the principles that grafitti has, namely using a spraycan(duh), tagging, posting up throwups, pieces, etc.
I think Stencilling makes it faarrr to easy and stencils are often used for more conformed forms of art, which grafitti definitely is not. Most of the time, I see Stencils used to bash bush or some other political agenda. I'm not saying that graf shouldn't be political (there are some ill pieces the Tats crew has done against the war), but at the same time most who use stencils don't do it to glorify grafitti.
Graf has evolved, I know, but why the hell should it evolve and include stencils. It sucks mad, it looks corny as hell, give me a can over stencils any freaggin day of the week.
Stencil usage = art school grads/art school dropouts....
