seriously. nothing more annoying than eye-catchy advertisement while walking on the street, disrupting your inner peace.

I actually like that the graffiti in this is just a simple tag rather than a full mural or a more complicated piece that conforms to our conception of "art."

I would argue that it's just barely stepping out of the ideology of who is allowed to express themselves in public to condone only "good" graffiti.

The real liberation is imho letting even "bad" artists express themselves, even if all they're saying is "I was here."

Billboards are banned in Hawai'i ❤️

[–] JayDee@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Vermont too.

[–] Hell_nah_brother@thelemmy.club 2 points 12 hours ago

Not a single advertising in sight. I would feed my uncle to the dogs for this 😔

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 55 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wish they were banned in more places

Banned in Maine, it’s very jarring crossing the border into NH or MA

banksy is fucking amazing man

How i wish advertising was just banned. Its so awful

[–] Zarobi@aussie.zone 17 points 1 day ago

Changing songs on your phone during grid lock traffic jam? Illegal, irresponsible, how could you?! What if you were distracted while driving?

Meanwhile gigantic bright flashing animated billboards are everywhere on the highway. Oh that? That's just business.

This would legit be one of the biggest wins against climate change and capitalism alike

Banned like the delicious A&W 1/3 pounder?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean, when the graffiti is just a poorly scribbled "name," it just looks as trashy as the ads. I'd much rather see some actual art being sprayed on shit. Especially if it covers up an ad.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 14 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

This has been my evolution as well.

  • graffiti is wrong

  • graffiti is fine. Free expression is important.

  • graffiti is fine, but don't suck at it

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 7 points 12 hours ago

Yeah, I've had almost exactly the same evolution except I've added a fourth point

  • the sloppiest graffiti is better than the classiest ad

I don't have to like every tag, but I basically appreciate them all. I'm just happy to see actual people expressing themselves in my spaces instead of just brands. Unless we're talking about a hateful symbol I don't even mind someone from just writing "skeazy" on a mailbox in one swipe. Thanks for giving me a break from the ads, Skeazy.

Another bit of nuance: where is hugely important. Graffiti on a random building or overpass? Go ham. On something natural or historically important? Absolutely shit thing to do

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I especially like graffiti on rail cars, it makes it a lot more interesting when I'm sitting at a rail crossing waiting for the train to go by. It's usually top-quality work and who gives a fuck what rail cars look like anyway?

[–] Techranger@infosec.pub 3 points 10 hours ago

The people who operate the trains? It makes their job more difficult, dangerous, and expensive. Important labels and signs are often covered up, and sometimes it goes beyond just painting.

I do, and I'm incredibly disappointed when passing a railyard without visible graffiti

My favorite brand is GAG ME ❤️

Love their accessories 🥰

Change the simple tag to a mural, but it's being done with spray paint cans by someone in a hoodie and it's perfect.

I once was grounded as a teenager for calling a cop that went to church with my parents a coward for pulling a gun on a teenager who was tagging an alley wall. His defence was "the kid could have used it as a weapon and thrown it at me" which just made me laugh while saying he's a whiny piece of shit if he's thinking a teenager wielding a spray can is a threat deserving of pulling a gun. And that was when I would say was my "republican Christian good boy" phase.

The crime is failing to pay a landlord to host the image.

Commentary from 1996 still relevant today

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I especially love the ones they put on road so you can gst distracted by them when first learning how to drive.

Say what you will but Taco Hell sounds way better than Taco Bell. More accurate, too!
