In my opinion there are two types of Graffiti - Vandalism and Graffiti Art.
Vandalism graffiti would be those which are a single colour, that look just like a scribble, or the things that people have written in marker pens. I feel Vandalism graffiti is bad as it serves no purpose, it isn't nice to look at, it makes places look untidy and it is often offensive. I would also consider the majority of Graffiti Tags as vandalism
Graffiti art on the other hand is gallery worthy. It is bright, colourful and attractive. Someone has clearly spent a lot of time on it. Although some people still see it as vandalism I don't think it is because it isn't unsightly and has way more of a purpose than meaningless scribble. Graffiti art is produced by Street Artists, not your average adolescent due to boredom on a night out.
BANKSY - Banksy is one of the most prominent and provocative street artists around
