Graffiti was used primarily by political activists to make statements and street gangs to mark territory. It wasn't till the late 1960s that writing's current identity started to form.The history of the underground art movement known by many names, most commonly termed graffiti begins in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during the mid to late '60s and is rooted in bombing.
The writers who are credited with the first conscious bombing effort are CORNBREAD and COOL EARL. They wrote their names all over the city gaining attention from the community and local press.

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.
