    Graffiti is defined as any drawing made on some kind of surface, usually on a wall. The first known example of graffiti was found in ancient Greece. However, the graffiti movement seen in today’s contemporary world originated in the 1960s in the minds of American gang members. New York City became a hub of graffiti tags and images.

    The goal of most artists was gaining popularity, which meant having as many tags in as many places as possible. Artists began to break into subway yards in order to paint as many trains as they could and often created elaborate pieces of art along the subway car sides.

    By the mid-1970s, most standards had been set in graffiti writing and culture. Yet, as the culture spread outside the city and overseas, the cultural aspect of graffiti in New York City deteriorated almost to the point of extinction.
