Excerpt.. "These artistic but anti-social tendencies of N.Y.C. graffiti writers translated well throughout the western adolescent world and graffiti painting practice exploded around the world from 1982 onwards. Interestingly, as the N.Y.C. Mayor and Transit Chief were desperately trying to rid the Metropolitan Transit Authority of graffiti on its rail network, it was exploding everywhere else like a global virus. The impetus that took that graffiti writing movement from New York City, across the western world was largely young people emulating what they had seen in movies and music video clips coming out. Kids in Dortmund, Germany were just as likely to copy the breakers in the “Buffalo Girls” music video clip as a kid from Brisbane."
