There are disparate voices and unique geographic ‘dialects’ within the subculture of graffiti that we often see, but may not recognize. The development of the worldwide web has only helped to accelerate the spread of graffiti’s popularity. With the advent of digital images being published widely on the internet, a writer today can browse innumerable pages of freshly-painted graffiti online the day it was painted, and immediately take that influence out with him or her to paint. The flipside of graffiti’s aesthetic globalization is that these regional styles of graffiti are being spread worldwide and that regional dialects might very well die due to the internet.
