From11960 s to 1980 s, new york urban area was a city full of enthusiasm and emphasized fast pace. The narrow living environment exposes the life on the street, and the gap between the rich and the poor in society is large enough to form a so-called anti-cultural group for people living on the edge of subculture society under such social pressure. What's more, there are a group of Hispanic or black youths who are unemployed and drop out of school in slums as social problems. In the ideological trend of anti-racial discrimination, anti-war, anti-sexual repression and anti-right repression, they touched on the racial problems, poverty and employment constraints brought about by the living environment, and formed a regional anti-cultural social behavior. These behaviors include street basketball, street graffiti, street dance, hip &;; HOP, RAP rap songs and other activities. Among them, graffiti culture originated from the edge of new york society, and a group of children who dared to challenge American government authorities rebuilt the fragments of secular culture.
Among them, graffiti culture began in the late 1960s and flourished in the 1980s. From the late 1970s to the 1980s, a group of graffiti lovers made a living by it, developed their own unique graffiti art, expressed their views and had distinct personalities. In the later stage, it is no longer a simple anti-cultural social behavior, but something with art is added to make it more acceptable and legal. Walk slowly from underground to the ground.
