"Have you ever walked the streets and heard that sudden siren open the night, only to then hear a voice shout; Police, Against the wall!!? That is the what Graffiti artists in downtown Buenos Aires confront every night. The failure in Graffiti is not to be wall painted. Risking this, and riding the nights, every night, hundreds of Graffiti artists paint those walls which they are voluntarily up against. Graffiti (singular: graffito; the plural is used as a mass noun). Graffiti: Name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property. Graffiti: Any type of public markings that may appear in the forms of simple written words to elaborate wall paintings. Graffiti has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. Early in the day, the sun shines, but today it is not the only things that shines, graffiti all over. Modern Graffiti shows the true nature of society expressed in the new generations. Coded, silent, afraid of speaking out, angry and machine like modern graffiti reflects the inner world of the young generations. Graffiti sometimes goes into satiric expressions. It must be agreed that Graffiti is hard hitting, social, moral and ethical art. On the streets today they act out speaking clearly...crying for change and social justice. Every culture expresses its environment and uniqueness with its graffiti. . The controversy and question is should they be removed or not?
