Page "Graffiti" Paragraph 41

Rock and roll graffiti is a significant sub genre.

A famous graffito of the 20th century was the inscription in the London subway reading " Clapton is God ".

The phrase was spray-painted by an admirer on a wall in an Islington Underground station in the autumn of 1967.

The graffiti was captured in a photograph, in which a dog is urinating on the wall.

Graffiti also became associated with the anti-establishment punk rock movement beginning in the 1970s.

Bands such as Black Flag and Crass ( and their followers ) widely stenciled their names and logos, while many punk night clubs, squats and hangouts are famous for their graffiti.

In the late 1980s the upside down Martini glass that was the tag for punk band Missing Foundation was the most ubiquitous graffito in lower Manhattan, and copied by hard core punk fans throughout the U. S. and West Germany.
