  • The Changing Role Of Graffiti In Hip-Hop Culture

    871 Words  | 4 Pages

    The word graffiti comes from the Italian word “graffito”, which in turn comes from the word “graffio” that means scratch.

The word evolves through the centuries: first, the term referred to the inscriptions, or figure drawings, found on the walls of ancient ruins; now, it is linked to the metropolitan environment and the hip-hop culture. It is interesting to see its development through history. Although it is common to think of graffiti as a very modern way of expression, its origin is to be tracked back to the ancient world.

These signs just sort of blend into the background, no more noticeable than a crack in the sidewalk or a plain, solid-colored exterior wall. On the ordinary brown-painted brick backside of a bar in San Francisco’s Mission District, a bold, red No Trespassing sign is the center of a piece of thought-provoking street art. Below and to the right of the sign are some run-of-the-mill graffiti tags: pale yellow spray paint forming illegible words marking the territory of a gang or juvenile delinquent.
