Local Terminology
- Street art or Post-graffiti: used by street artists to distinguish their art from graffiti or vandalism
- Taggers: those who place quick graffiti "tags" in indiscriminate places (trains, trucks, etc.) or cause damage in the process (like scratching of internal fittings in trains)
- Graffers or writers: those who display their tag in an artful manner, as with a mural, displaying a high level of skill
- Graffiti: rarely used today except by those uneducated in street art culture, particularly in the media. Mostly used in a historic sense in reference to graffiti of the 1970s and 1980s.

Famous quotes containing the word local:
“The local is a shabby thing. There’s nothing worse than bringing us back down to our own little corner, our own territory, the radiant promiscuity of the face to face. A culture which has taken the risk of the universal, must perish by the universal.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
