Street art is dead blog......is deceased., by Warm Gun on Dec 4, 2011 12:53:19 GMT 1, Looks like the street art is dead blog has been removed. Ignoring all the disgusting banter and insults that were needlessly flying around every other post, I actually agreed with a fair bit of what Dr Funky and some of the other posters on there had to say.

Street art is dead blog......is deceased., by curiousgeorge on Dec 4, 2011 12:58:47 GMT 1, Call me cynical...
I thought it was vile tbh, bunch of hypocrites who milked the scene when the going was good then moaned when they could no longer turn a profit or got fingers burnt (would be another way of looking at it)
If they (and I'm guessing it was a small handful of people posting) felt so passionate why didn't they do something when everyone was being mugged off.Too busy turning a profit perhaps??
Rest in pi55 imo, sure it's good to have different sides to a story but when it's vile it kinda takes away from the point of it all.Creepy foookers had nothing positive to say about members here yet obviously remained active members here the whole time. That's logical!!

The insults outweighed the insight by 10:1 which was a shame.

Street art is dead blog......is deceased., by nah on Dec 4, 2011 14:12:25 GMT 1, the blog itself was mildly entertaining at times, talk about shooting fish in a barrel though. some of the comments people made on the blog posts were seriously disgusting though, think it was a case of people trying to do the 'scathing humor' thing without the mental prowess to pull it off so instead they just came across like mentally disturbed basement dwellers

I don't mind people taking the piss out of me, when my kids are targeted 'I start to get sensible'.

I liked it on there, they made me laugh at how gay this scene had become!

90% of it was people that are no more clued in than anyone else, just lots of jumping to conclusions and writing opinions/guesses as if they were fact
using gay as a pejorative in 2011 is not the one btw

Sorry I don't know what a pejorative is, but they had a lot of their facts down, maybe it was the old WallKandy bunch after that ate itself, plus a few others Banksy's rubbed up the wrong way, the lists long, and they are growing more lippy by the day, most of them with good reason.

'Statement of Intent
Dr Funky is tired of the narrative being sold. If something is shit, it's fucking shit, not an investment, not good because some stranger on the Internet told you to buy it.
No fucking adverts here, ever, fuck off if you want to sell anything.
I don't hate street art, I just want it to be better than what it aspires to.
Street art is dead is open to those who have something of value to say.
This is no longer the place where you can just call anyone names, give me fucking reasons.
To all those who don't understand this place - good - its not meant for you - fuck off.'

Street art is dead blog......is deceased., by sand on Dec 5, 2011 10:37:07 GMT 1, I occasionally use to visit the 'Street Art is Dead' blog.
It was nice to see a different point of view to what most people on this forum have. You could say it's overly critical / cynical, but I used to agree with a lot of what was said on there.
What really disgusted me were the vile comments and personal attacks on there that negated any good points that were being discussed.
I think there is a need to discuss / critique what's going on in the scene, as long as it's done in the correct manner.

I thought it was pretty funny and I liked their take on a lot of the dross that was being produced - the actual posts were pretty on the money a lot of the time but the comments section was basically full of people trying to be funny and failing.

This highlights the quality of the mentioned artists since the level in which they work seems to be too hard to diminish even for the super-cynical editors of SAID. To me it always seemed that they had decided an attitude towards some artists and based on that they would lash out on him/her without even looking at the piece in question. For example there is no chance they would say anything positive about Banksy, no matter how great a piece he would produce.
Then again, they sometimes seemed to be spot on. There is so much hype that a counterforce for that is definately needed.

This. Though they have never called me a hipster.
The original posts were worth reading as there has to be 'someplace' that people are allowed to be critical. But the comments by readers were largely a waste of time.

The love of Blu, Dran and indeed Harrington (sometimes) showed they weren't just there to hate on everything. In fact, their highlighting of mediocrity was pretty bang on a good 80% of the time.

I do find most of the poara to be too radical, but Im not taking it serious, so it's fine... looking forward to new posts..

Hatred,intolerance and ignorance have never been part of this....
Funny how they got pi55y over a $20 beer cooler set and then got taken to school by the artist
Yeah that's right $20! pathetic
Active members here the whole time too speaks volumes
