History Main / GraffitiTown

In VideoGameSettings, the Graffiti Town is a lighter version of GangsterLand where the action takes place in a modern urban area that has all the stereotypical elements of being "urban": tall brick apartment buildings with some wear and tear, elaborate and/or gigantic UsefulNotes/{{graffiti}} on the buildings, and tall chain-link fences. The stage music is usually in the hip-hop genre. Note this setting has to have [[CrapsaccharineWorld exaggerated features of heavy urban areas]], like downtown Los Angeles or New York. So Liberty City from ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' can't count because the environment is relatively realistic compared to what is described here. Some basketball video games may have this as a court instead of the usual sports stadium.

* Early seasons of ''Series/SesameStreet'' contained elements of this since it was originally marketed toward children in urban areas. Many of the "letters of the day" even appeared as graffiti as seen [[http://fairbankspedestrian.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/sesame1.jpg?w=230&h=275 here]].
