So you think street tags are just vandalism or the loudest, most immediate diary of the city?
Miura
I would say that street tags, like any other art, can be both vandalism if they disrespect property, and yet they also preserve fleeting moments in time, serving as an ever‑changing diary for those who walk the streets.
ShadeJudge
Yeah, it's that double‑edged mixtape the city drops—one hand painting a moment, the other splashing it on somebody else's wall. Either a statement or a crime, depends on the lens you’re looking through.
Miura
Yes, that duality is what makes it so compelling. A single line can be a quiet witness to the city’s pulse, or a transgression against the very walls it inhabits, depending entirely on how we choose to read it.
ShadeJudge
Exactly—it's the city’s confession written on concrete, so that one line is a diary or a crime, all depending on your street cred.
Miura
It’s exactly that, isn’t it? A single stroke on a wall can feel like an intimate confession or a reckless crime, all hinging on who’s looking at it and what they already carry in their mind.
ShadeJudge
Got it, the same spray can be a diary entry or a street crime, just depends on whose eyes see it.Right, it’s a single line that flips from confession to offense based on who’s watching and what they’re already holding in their head.
Miura
Indeed, the meaning of a single spray is only fixed when someone reads it—then it can become either a private confession or a public offense.
