I was on a train recently, well, many trains. Each ride had something in common, with that being going past very rundown and slum-like cities. Safely away from the train of course. But what really got me thinking was all the massive amounts of graffiti. Most people (I assume) do things for a purpose. Making a huge visual mark somewhere can be more meaningful than we think, and not just "gang bangers" making a mess out of the walls.
Still, I wonder why in such small rusty looking towns that people would leave such marks. Many unreadable. Sometime's names are on them. The big point I am making here is it's almost like a whole society that's gone, and the graffiti is like messages to those who might be around or knew of that society. I think I am looking way too into this, but I don't know, long train rides and spray-painted walls make me think.
But yeah, what's your take on this or similar?
