Graffiti art and hip-hop music originated in Bronx, new york, which is the only neighborhood connected with the United States and the poorest neighborhood in new york.

They live in a poorly equipped apartment for the poor built by * *, and the streets outside are dilapidated and overgrown with weeds. Years of poverty have made black teenagers extremely worship money, and becoming a professional athlete is a shortcut for them to get rich quickly. During that time, several basketball courts in the Bronx often saw groups of black boys playing basketball with bare arms, and many of them wore gold necklaces with thick fingers around their necks. The worship of money makes showing off wealth in public become a fashion in the Bronx. Of course, many teenagers have started to engage in illegal businesses, such as drug trafficking and pimping. Doing these illegal things is likely to be caught by the police or targeted by street hooligans So these people organized gangs to protect themselves. Numerous underworld organizations have sprung up in the Bronx, such as primitive skeleton, savage ronin, javelin team, royal wizard, seven crowns and so on. At that time, many young people joined various gangs in order to find a sense of belonging. In their naive imagination, gangs are just like those described in Bruce Lee's movies. A group of people unite to fight with their opponents and build eternal friendship in the process of fighting.

No wonder some people associate graffiti with primitive people, because the earliest words and paintings of human beings are carved on walls, and those murals are the only records of civilization left by prehistoric people. But with the appearance of paper, murals have become a symbol of uncivilized. Especially after the appearance of the city, modern people seem to have become accustomed to the smoothness of the building surface, and any pattern has become a kind of destruction and an anti-civilization spiritual pollution. If Bronx murals stay in the era of gang labels forever, then future generations may have nothing to say. However, out of dissatisfaction with the simple gang labels, several people with painting talent began to design new labels themselves, and since then these gang symbols have become beautiful. Later, a group of rebellious non-gang painters finally realized that the wall is the cheapest and most practical canvas in the world, and they started to act. Since then, a new art form-"graffiti" was born. Most real graffiti artists have nothing to do with gangs They are all poor people at the bottom, and paint cans and paints are stolen from shops. They are all thoughtful people, so a warning motto appeared on the wall of new york. They are all talented people, and there are many fresh brushstrokes in painting (especially fine arts fonts). More importantly, they are a group of people who express their desires. They are unpaid, willing to haunt new york in the dark all the year round, just to let pedestrians have a look at themselves. > & gt
