Style Wars

Have you ever wondered what it was like in New York City in 1983?

Subway's full of graffiti, pieces on the outside of the subways. New York City was electric it was magnetized by passionate individuals who wanted to see their names on the subway cars all across the city.

Break dancing was the movement of the culture, while hip-hop was the music that set the scenes.

"STYLE WARS has become an emblem of the original, embracing spirit of hip hop as it reached out across the world from underground tunnels, uptown streets, clubs and playgrounds."

"Naw..I ain't running the system, I'm bombing the system." A graffiti artist said.

Graffiti was not what the masses wanted but it was the originality full of youthful creativity that lead the subculture of what hip hop is today.

Whether you think graffiti is a form of creative expression or not, Style Wars will leave you with an appreciation for a time in history that was monumental of New York's rich culture.
