Why are some of the graffiti paintings in Europe written in English? Is it an American invasion?
Schmoo: A lot of the original NYC subway writers got to go over to Europe early in modern graffiti’s inception. They took the established styles to Europe, which included the use of English words. Modern graffiti comes from America, so naturally if someone is going to start doing an American art form, they are going to take a lot from what has already been done, which includes the use of English words.
