RE: Do U believe in this?
Tags are not art, they are childish outages and vandalism!
They are just a modern way of immature gangs/people who want to put there name on everything. Why childish? Because infants do exactly the same thing, they want to own everything and if they have the chance and are able to, they write there name (or their scribbles) on everything with crayons. Tags are exactly the same thing.
He who did not wrote (or even etched) his name on something without purpose (eg: because he was bored in class) put up your arm...
Tags are not some way of self-expression, art or whatever. They are pure and only vandalism. Tags aren't graffiti at all in any way.
What 'older' people often mean with graffiti are exactly those stupid tags on buildings, cars, trains, etc... And most likely that was also the main reason for that article and the measures being taken. That legal true graffiti is also punished is too bad but probably, in this case, not possible to do it otherwise.
But you would be surprised how many 'older' people actually admire true graffiti artworks (at least over here).
