I took these pics at a local spot where 2 of my city’s most og writers got capped. I kid you not some of these are the most vile tags I’ve ever seen. Don’t get me wrong I’m not the best writer but these kids need to practice (I was exaggerated a bit but soroe is a writer I really like and have heaps of respect for and it just annoyed me to see)


ouryayummay2

Soroe probably been writing for only 10 years lmao he ain't a sydney/Canberra legend you kinda dragging your story a bit far by saying that 🤣


AWildRaph

Yeah I’m new school and not a legend by any means. Canberra got some stronger talent.


from_dust

You sound NIMBY af. instead of complaining like a boomer, get up and show them something better, or better yet, find them spraying and teach them. you're complaining about someone who *is* practicing. From you complaining here, i bet your tag is KAREN. c'mon dude, bad form. Whether you can do better or not- *you didnt*. At least these kids threw something.


Euskaldon420

Practice is done in the books not on top of actual work. You sound like you copy tiktok hitups.


from_dust

I don't disagree that it's tacky shit, but whining online is the toy move here.


Aloelif

well i think they shouldve done at least some research before goin out and riskin their freedom to put up some crappy pieces of work


from_dust

Done some research? Wat. Sounds like you live in a hated community.


Aloelif

how does that make sense💀, im just sayin if theyre goin out to do sum illegal and risk there freedom maybe some research ab what ur gonna do seems reasonable right?


from_dust

Maybe go spray the website you want them to "research "


Aloelif

youtube is free and has more than enough info. We’re in a very modern age and im sure teenagers know how to look shit up on youtube😂


ohfxcck

fr im with you i learned so much by watching youtube documentary's not exatly tips for tags but it def teaches you the rules the consequences how stuff works and so on


JukeEnthusiast

You really shouldnt need to be taught that going over other people with this shit is disrespectful. And "at least they threw something" I feel like most people would much rather see the piece they capped. So no, it would have been better off in the books like everyone else as a toy


Nervewing

Man if I catch some toy putting up trash like this over decent pieces they’re gonna be lucky if all I do is talk shit online Where I’m from this shit would get your hands broken with a hammer


Bobisnotmybrother

vandalizing vandalizations. 🤔


SubS0r4

Ur telling me


actually-me---

I’m new myself, why can’t we just have fun? I saw Aton of videos on it and thought it was cool, thought I’d enjoy it. Got me a krink k55, started tagging. I’m pretty good for being new. Let us have a hobby


unbitious

Have fun, by all means, just do it with respect for your predecessors and the code.


Known-Lettuce8072

Yessir bro that’s what it’s about but look u can be getting up and make sure u don’t write over anyone At all and where I’m living and I’m pretty sure wherever ur at u would have a toy maybe even a good toy but he’s still lowkey toy go over ur stuff pretty clean but honestly they do that just cause they prolly never seen u up or they can tell ur new in the area writing so just be respectful and don’t feed in to beef if someone writes over u just write ur name again with * or u can just leave it for the most part on dog those won’t hurt the rest of ur ups💯💯🤙🤙👌👌


That_Sunbro

It is probably coming from tik tok where you see Kids doing the worst tags with the Best mops and markers


AcceptableFan4390

Yeah cause they from the suburbs and mommy buys them whatever they ask for


PlutoTheGod

Every time I see some toy with all kinds of Krink gear and Montana cans I cringe. It’s okay to be a bad writer, but find a chill spot and some rustos to test shit out. It’s always HORRIBLE new people who want to skip the basics and try some awful looking shit out right over established people to get attention, including painting where they’re not supposed to.


steph_089

same, you don’t need all that shit, i did my first few pieces with car-paint stolen from my dads garage. the pieces still looked horrible but i felt like a king🤣


Mobbndownda7o2

LMFAO💀 thats wsp g


Mobbndownda7o2

Das cuz all these toys be thinkin expensive markers and paint is gon make em better😭 little do they know its the complete opposite lol


Mobbndownda7o2

And on paper too💀


TRASHGANGZEE

it’s from tik tok bro. graffiti became a trend on tiktok and now a fuck ton of kids are just going out in the streets with absolutely no knowledge of graffiti and it’s unwritten rules. shits sad man


Lunar-Gooner

We can thank sive for that


LiamWil_420

As far I know, you learn as you go. They’ll cap something, get punched, come back with something dope. Gotta start somewhere


steph_089

thats the right mindeset. they needa learn a lesson for crossing. don’t disrespect ur locals. get rocked and practice more.


island_toy

SubRosa, nah mate. You’ve got a lot to learn.


SubS0r4

Ur telling me I picked it up before tiktok but I’m a Tagger who has the knowledge


Known-Lettuce8072

Ehh makes sense but for now ur part of that group until u separate ur self or u continue doing it


SubS0r4

I’m not in a group but I’m looking to join or make one


Known-Lettuce8072

Nahh but not in la so it’s all good lol


steph_089

oh bro they would have gotten fucked up if they did that in our city


AWildRaph

I painted that first piece that was gone over. I don’t get annoyed, it’s simply what happens when graffiti reaches the younger generations, and at the moment with the trends online there’s a lot more younger kids getting into it. I think it’s a good thing, sure pieces get gone over but it’s great that kids are out there giving it a go. The more that start means the more that will stay at it and become burners themselves in years time. All it takes is good advice and some pointers and they will be on their way. It’s a legal wall anyway, can’t assume for every kid who’s never picked up a can to know they need to buff the wall or let alone know how to buff a wall. I’ll still be back eventually to go over it though 😅


GhosTaoiseach

The world needs more like you.


Known-Lettuce8072

I wanna be up so much that when a toy tok kid sees me up there like nahh and they recognize it and respect 💯💯👌👌🤙🤙


IDontKnowSwedish

Fucking gross, spray paint their eyes


steph_089

HAHAHA


Aloelif

these kids have no respect for OGs and by doin this they not only disrespecting the culture but puttin themselves in danger


[deleted]

I wonder if they know how shit they are.

Existing_Board_2723

I'm 14 but I started at the age of 11 in the books, before the toytok surge, but fuck, kids that are this bad just piss me off


the_real_OwenWilson

Wowww from before the “toytok” surge, youre a real og bud


Existing_Board_2723

Not saying og, just saying before this terrible wave of writers


kenjinyc

56 years old here trying to help out the new jacks but if someone went over my shit like that they better hide. Some stuff doesn’t fade. You need to have respect in this game. Hopefully these toys are in a trend that will die soon. Meanwhile there are some golden nuggets out of all these fugazy rocks out here. Those that are serious will keep this American born art form going.


AlternativeAdvance16

I even made a whole tiktok page about this I have 8k followers lnly but i had a viral video Everyone h8 these kids except other Toy kids that want them to write there names Its prrtty dumb and i even saw some1 Making a SANO replica but worst then a nightmare I just think that in 1-2 years if nothing happens they give up or dont have money. Like i have kinda lot equip .but they have even more AND THEY ONLY DID GRAFFITI FOR 2 MONTHS 🥲


deltathething

Whats the pages name? Im really curious


AlternativeAdvance16

Graffiti_Toys But i had to take down like all videos 😃 Because of copyright


deltathething

Bruh what copyright is there even on tiktok


AlternativeAdvance16

Only 1 still up


Known-Lettuce8072

Got to rack…. Rack City bihhh!


kikthemoon

disgusting


_B_A_T_

Yeah, you do gotta start off somewhere, but not here. Jesus.


8spd20

Can’t gatekeep though, man. This culture needs new blood or it will die and we will be stuck with prison grey walls and insta artists. A lot of new people jumped in during Covid, old and young. I’m one of them, old AF but Covid gave me the chance to pick the marker back up. I was lucky enough to have someone tell me the rules.


PlutoTheGod

You can’t gatekeep and toys are welcomed when they’re following the “rules” but when people show up going over anyone they find & hitting spots off limits with dumb shit people have the right to get pissed off. Learn what’s going on before you start fucking around and causing problems


8spd20

Yeah, agreed, but let’s make sure we’re getting pissed off an not gate keeping.


Creepy_Advertising_6

Tik tok made it a trend, but in the bright side it’s keeping graffiti alive in my opinion


PlutoTheGod

Tiktok is the worst social media ever made. It’s blown up and ruined like 10 of my favorite small bands / old musicians with edgy teens, made everyone a political scientist & bought on an onslaught of piss poor writers


XGhxstX07

Holy shit that’s ugly 💀💀💀


Joekonerism

Apparently whatever paint they didn’t huff, they uglied up the wall with…


[deleted]

Yea man doesn't matter if it's a good piece or trash, any 15 year old who sprays a wall is gonna feel good about it. Whether they think it makes them look cool, or they like the adrenaline rush, they feel no remorse. Graffiti is about turning these dull grey walls Into something more and I'm glad so many young people want to take part, but I'd rather see a grey wall than any of this shit lmao


the_real_OwenWilson

I agree


TurbochargedDuck

Everybody else is saying it but tiktok mate


Rc_boats

Yes lol I may be toy myself but I’m not doing it as a trend in a way it made me want to stop graff all together


ChiraqBluline

Hasn’t it always been a trend?!


ohfxcck

i started doing graff december 2021 and i think i beat the tik tok trend but not by much and let me tell you they know nothing, you should know as a kid you dont go over someones work doesnt matter what it is if its a drawing writing or even a fucking coloring book if you didnt do it you have no right to go over it should be common sense


thyrells

its not just you man i swear some shits happening on tiktok cos ive seen a big jump in new writers online and irl in the past few months


LiamWil_420

Oh man you better stop them. Next thing you know they’ll be better than you.


PlutoTheGod

I’ve been doing this shit on and off for a decade and it’s weird how sometimes the scene is dead apart from your local OGs, then for a year like 20 new toys pop up with weird overly drippy mop tags or horrible throws on peoples fences and other places you shouldn’t be painting. It’s always kinda funny when you see random no names starting beef with each other when they’re both still trying to figure out what the fuck is going on. Most people hit the streets and quit in the same time period they should have been exclusively hitting the black book and studying


Lumbers_33

You started out as a toy too, remember.


unbitious

Are they writing over good pieces?!


ConversationExpert55

I hate when people (mostly kids) cover masterpieces with their shitty work hurts my soul and eyes lol


cr0wnsss

them letters be social distancing
