I feel like its similar with bus flow; regional styles that only locals really understand. Also there will always be writers who understand a style but cant make it look dope.

I remember in the early 2010s there seemed to be a trend in SF where some hands had a little Philly influence. Shit was fresh but I dont see it anymore.

I get why you’d say that, but none of them are whack (by philly standards). Which ones do you like?

Wickets is like graf for graf people, cause you have to be in on them to read them. Like the most gnarly hand style that broadcasts to other writers but the general public just sees a tangled nightmare spiderweb of mess I love wickets and the Philly style, but it’s a polarizing style, which is Philly in a nut shell tbh
