The local documentary ‘Style Wars‘ originally aired on Thirteen way back in 1983. But in the 25 years since, it has a huge cult following amongst graffiti/tagging obsessives and hip-hop aficionados. Watch all 8 parts, each is about 9 minutes.
While it’s about graf culture, the documentary explores the politicization of graffiti at the time, with footage on everyone from Mayor Koch to DJ Kayslay. It also covers the early hip-hop culture of breakdancing and djing.
