The Golden Age of Graffiti took place in New York City from about 1974 -- 1984 on the N.Y.C Subway system, then from around
the mid 80's to the late 90's on the N.Y.C Streets,(Store front gates, trucks, vans, and mainly walls , roof-tops and anything that can be seen from the subway lines.
It was influenced by early writers who picked a "tag" and added a number such as their street. For example, "BASS167".
During the time, New York City was the only place that was getting "hit" so much. Graffiti writers mainly expressed their talents on the subway system because the subway train could transport their name from one end of the city to the other. By mid 1972 all 6,000+ subway cars, according to The New York Times, had graffiti on them. The goal of many writers was to go "All City" or hit each subway line. However, in the 1980s, the MTA began to spend more money cleaning trains, encouraging store owners to lock up their spray paint to prevent shoplifting, protecting train yards, and with the beginning of the crack cocaine epidemic during around 1984, the movement began to fade away as violence became more common and places became more territorial to certain crews. Also, spray paint was required to be locked up in stores under a new law established in 1985. The original painted silver canvases on trains became red which was undesirable to write on and older cars were replaced with new stainless steel cars which could be cleaned easily to perfection. Cleaning or "buffing" was also becoming more common on the subways. By 1989 the subway system was clean. Basicly ALL Writers Started hitting the streets heavily. Anything around the subway lines that can be seen from the subway platform or the subway tracks where the train passes was covered with Graffiti.
After that "Street Bombing" became like an epidemic as writers began throwing there names up in the streets.
By the 1990's the streets still had a lot of graffiti though, but after the late '90s alot of it was cleaned up. New York has never been "bombed" with as much graffiti as it used to since then and probably never ever will be. However, by the time the graffiti movement pretty much died out in New York City it had already spread to the rest of the world!!!!

Graffiti is the name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property.

Between the years of 1969-1974 the "pioneering era" took place. During this time graffiti underwent a change in styles and popularity. The city produced one of the first graffiti artists to gain media attention in New York, TAKI 183. TAKI 183 was a youth from Washington Heights, Manhattan who worked as a foot messenger. His tag is a mixture of his name Demetrius (Demetraki), TAKI, and his street number, 183rd. Being a foot messenger, he was constantly on the subway and began to put up his tags along his travels. This spawned a 1971 article in the New York Times titled "'Taki 183' Spawns Pen Pals". Julio 204 is also credited as the first writer, but didn't get the fame that Taki received. TAKI 183 was the first artist to be recognised outside of the graffiti subculture, but wasn't the first artist. Other notable names from that time are: Stay High 149, Hondo 1, Phase 2, Stitch 1, SEEN,Bosik 1, Bolst 1, Kinks 2, Septik 1, Joe 182, Junior 161 and Cay 161. Barbara 62 and Eva 62 were also important early graffiti artists in New York, and are the first known females to write graffiti.

Also taking place during this era was the movement from outside on the city streets to the subways. Graffiti also saw its first seeds of competition around this time. The goal of most artists at this point was called "getting up" and involved having as many tags and bombs in as many places as possible. Artists began to break into subway yards in order to hit as many trains as they could with a lower risk, often creating larger elaborate pieces of art along the subway car sides. This is when the act of bombing was said to be officially established.

Clean Train Movement era
The current era in graffiti is characterized by a majority of graffiti artists moving from subway or train cars to "street galleries." The Clean Train Movement started in May, 1989, when New York attempted to remove all of the subway cars found with graffiti on them out of the transit system. Because of this, Much controversy arose among the streets, graffiti should be considered an actual form of art.
