I think this might be the same person who did this last time, it's very close to where I saw the last one. Which the city dealt with in a matter of days from when I saw it, so maybe this particular canvas of street art will also get cleaned/painted over.

(I'm not against street art - I'm rather fond of some of the prettier examples of it as an art form, and tagging is an interesting form of self expression - I just said that in that I'm curious how long it will take the city to do something about this tag, since the previous one I found on City property also caused it and nearby graffiti to be quickly cleaned when previously ignored, and graffiti on a trash receptacle is the ultimate "not worth cleaning".)

I have seen the discourse of taggers in my city many many times over the multiple decades. This is a place renowned for its laneway graffiti if that gives a clue.

It is literally the culture to just tag your name in places to show you were there and take pride in that fact. It is not about being against the system other than some vague notion of being against the system.

And they absolutely hate muralists.

    Dope, that's cool enough for me. If rich bozos can throw their polluting corpses at the feet of everest, or the wreckage of the titanic, and expect to be applauded why can't some person tag the Bolte

    Oh that must be it. Can’t draw from a reserve of knowledge and experience. I’ll just go about my business and enjoy scratchies on public train windows because someone had a good time doing it
