Mind you, it was hard to find any actual graffiti that made the attempt to move beyond the standard "for a good time call..." model, but every now and then you'd see stuff of mild interest in cafes or bookstores. In general, I think it's safe to say that the best stuff was found in college towns. I was on the road a lot then, so I had the opportunity to do some fairly extensive field work on the subject, as a side hobby. What became obvious pretty quickly was that no matter how clever, insightful or funny a scrawled message was, the environment of the message had an impact Re: slogans/memes/buzzwords…
