It's art for a new generation; using technology that, not very long ago, wasn't available (spray paint) and using the city itself as a canvas. It's very postmodern. Which is probably why a lot of older people don't get it - they are the "modern" generation, and everything that has come after them is trivial at best and unacceptable at worst.
