Explain to me why that matters, though?
Anyone who's worth discussing the topic with acknowledges that they're two different types of art.
Cope is a legend and has been a New York ficture since I was a kid. Of course you will get addressed. It's a much more raw and real and respected form of art. Dudes like Banksy and Ron English are far from SEEN, but why should we even have to say that? It's my understanding that knowing the difference is a basic requirement when appreciating both art forms. Why does them being two completely different things detract from the purity of Banksy's art?
I think the issue most people have is with the general public and those idiots who conflate street art and graff. Not all opinions deserve credence, especially those from people who aren't speaking from a place of personal knowledge or understanding. I feel like it's almost a waste of time to point out that they're not the same, and anyone who disagrees isn't worth having that discussion with.
