If graffiti is considered to be a crime, ugly, unappealing, and not an art form, then why is it popular among the elite? By that, I mean the big designers you find in those upscale, fancy schmancy, high end department stores and boutiques. Those are the same people complaining how it makes the city look ugly but don't mind it if it's on their $1,500 Louis Vuitton bag.
If society refuses to recognize it as a pure art medium, then why is it okay for those big name designers to have their merchandise splattered with it? I don't get it.
I view it as a double standard among the rich and famous. They whine like spoiled brats when their houses and cars are painting with graffiti, but are willing to shell out $1,700 on a Chanel hobo tote, or shoes, or umbrella, or raincoats. The logic to me does not make any sense.
The following link goes made me shake my head. I don't get rich people...
I do support the stores (Hot Topic) and websites (Bombing Science.com) who are graffiti specific in their line of clothing. Those companies support the art and deem it as "expressing yourself". You guys rock!
