TY... I was getting irritated by how many upvotes this post was getting...

Like hate speech on wall isn't the same thing as graffiti... Tagging your block cause you in a gang is also not really a graffiti ...

Anyways... Thx again

Believe it or not, I posted this meme to make a joke, not because of my enduring, seething hatred for grafitti as an artform

The meme community disappointed you with its lack of scientific accuracy?

Oh yeah, some people make really beautiful art with graffiti!

Graf is probably better than ever now, shame it's not as long lasting was in Rome. Hopefully some of the best artists pick up sculpting so people in the future might have a little taste.

Digital pictures of their work last indefinitely, just saying

Edit: To everyone mentioning that digital photos aren't guaranteed to last forever, yup: That's what indefinitely kinda means. There is no guarantee. Could last another day because the medium the only copy was stored on failed, or it could last for thousands of years because it was properly backed up in a lossless format.

Things stored digitally are sadly anything but everlasting, a lot is lost to time already

You have to take measures to preserve and back it up, it's definitely not guaranteed.

physical printed photos of these digital images may last /s

Both are wrong. Ancient graffiti looks like this:
