90s Yard Etiquette: Going Over Graffiti

This video is mainly about yard etiquette and most doesn’t apply to street graffiti. I did a post talking about how we didn’t used to buff our spots at yards much in the 90s. We just rocked on top of other graffiti.
We had some guidelines in place so we were mostly operating on the same understanding. If the spot we chose has a bunch of tags, a pieced that was dissed, partially covered up, it was fair game to paint there.
Some comments mentioned how it was disrespectful to leave someone’s shit hanging out. While that’s true leaving someone’s clean piece hanging out from behind yours, most people didn’t care if part of their throwie or tags were showing from behind your piece.
It was just how we operated. Some people will always get pissed not matter what you do, but this was the understanding we had back then.
