That was quite a novel, But what exactly is your point?

 

Are you saying "Detroit style is lost" or is a basically just a bunch of complaining that the best crew in the world is painting in your city?

 

I'd like to know what exactly is "Detroit style" -From where i am standing and what info i've gathered Detroit's scene is VERY young. Only a handful of writers seemed to be doing stuff in the mid-90's with basically nothing pre dating that. In most major cities, a tradition of style is passed from one generation to the next typically starting around 80-84 with the exception of Ny/Philly in the late 60's-early 70's and LA with its Cholo writing in the late 50's-early 60's. The handful of guys doing graff in Detroit from 95-00 seem to have no influence on what could be perceived as "Local style" It seems Detroit's small current scene didnt really catch on till the early 2000's with the internet being the primary source of inspiration(At least to the ambitious locals)

 

Here are some great images i found of old JUSTO(The best in my opion) His more recent stuff looks to be heavily influenced by late 90's KOG, LTS from LA. Makes sense since his longtime friend DAME MSK used to be from those crews and they have spent a lot of time together over the years.
