Graffiti "taggers" think they have the right to draw or paint on walls as a method of self-expression, an outlet for their creativity or just for the buzz of breaking the law. Whatever the reason, authorities have found that although there is no way to stop graffiti altogether, there may be ways to reduce the volume of it but that would involve catching them....if they can.

Who is graffiti limbo about?
The songwriter, Michelle Shocked, says the song is specifically about Michael Stewart. Michael was a young graffiti artist who was arrested while writing. While under arrest, in the presence of eleven transit cops, Michael Stewart was strangled to death. When his case was heard by the Grand Jury not one cop was found guilty. Most of the lyrics in graffiti limbo are about the struggle all graffiti artists in NYC have had with police and city government. Former Mayer Ed Koch is famous for his crackdown on graffiti. Transit police began to fine and arrest anyone who painted graffiti for any purpose, and with the Clean Car Program of 1984 graffiti became the primary focus of the Vandal Squad. Although the squad boasts ending the graffiti problem of the subway system, the graffiti art movement has thrived since the 1980's. Graffiti will always be a part of street art, while moving to the worlds of fine art, clothing, comics, and design from companies like American Graffiti Graphics and Elite Gudz.
