Question: Why are adults afraid of graffiti!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I don't know if adults are afraid of it!. Maybe they're afraid of knife and gun crime which they relate to grafitti!.

But I think they have a misperception about grafitti and see it only as a negative thing!. They have no understanding of the hip hop culture and mostly see people's ugly little tags spoiling nice white walls!. They don't appreciate the art in grafitti and buy the line that it's necessarily a crime!. Maybe they just haven't been exposed to the artful graffiti!. Maybe they just need to acquire the taste!. I guess some probably also feel excluded from what they perceive to be an exclusive group acting like snobs to outsiders!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

We are not afraid, just disapointed that you have not yet realised that your scribbling is just absolute shite, and that nobody old enough to grow pubic hair is interested !.!.!.!.!. Stop wasting your time and get to art college if you have any talent !.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
