yall originated style???you mean that goofy lopsided ass,ridculously filled letters you do with your 10 dollar paintcans?? i think not.how the fuck does europe originate style when america originated graffiti? it doesnt make sense.and from alot of what ive seen from europeans is just copies of styles from back in america.i mean there are some original styles in europe but america made this shit.if it wasnt for us you and the rest of the world would be where it is now in regards to graffiti.give respect where respect is due.i got love for all my european writers(even though im not a fan of the styles that ive seen from over there) but gotta give it up for the big US of A.

haha, bruv.
i never said we orignated style.
i said (on the topic of "eurostyles") style originated in europe. you obviously didnt get that bit.
in europe we dont use dollas either, might sound strange i know. not everything is american, which brings me to my next point. your ignorant. not every style is american, just coz you think you invented graffiti, doesnt mean it cant be changed. euro style doesnt have to make sence, its doing something different, playing with styles. there alot of different types of eurostyles. stock cap out lines, skinny cap outlines, weird shapes, stupid connections, clean outlines, whatever init, i dont see where in my last comment where i showed no respect to america where its due?
also i'd like to see some flicks of eurostyles (or what you think a eurostyle is) which has been bitten from someone back in america. post some. big yourself up.

Why is this even a thread?

[scaryletters]

europe is decades behind america in style. the only thing they originated were terrible letter structures. i hate euro styles, any idiot with a ten dollar can of montana can rock one.

the defacing of walls with painted art has been going off since the cavemen in france (europe), australian aborigines used to spray walls with designs, you can also find graffiti close to the pyramids (egypt) also through out rome (italy) where the using of latin letter structures called the alphabet can be found, the very same which is used to construct the letters in graffiti art. later fonts were designed with and without ligatures attached to the ends giving rise the font catagories serif (times new roman etc) and sans serif a bit like arial (an american ripoff of a classic font). writers from the begining of ny graffiti played about with these serifs joining them and putting arrows on them and introducing a drop or 3d shadow which had been created donkeys years ago by sign writers and such (who also get little to no acknowledgment these days from the graff community with there fantastic contribution to letter shaping and refining) contributions which have come from great and far places have influenced, shaped and reinvented lettering for hundreds of years before america was even named... where was I oh yes euro style it can be a bit poo but thats what its all about do your thing or borrow a bit.

don't quote me on any of this crap.

graffiti, coming from the latin word graffito (woah latin a dead language!?!?! Must be old!) has been around since the dawn of time, so in turn it was probably invented anywhere between ancient messopotamia or around renaissance italy, granted it's a large margin but in the grand scheme of things not too large.
