Editorial note
- Greetings, in the context of graffiti, refer to the practice of adding names to a graffito as a form of acknowledgment or salute. These names often belong to fellow graffitists or individuals who are recognised or respected within the graffiti community. The act of including a greeting within a graffito serves multiple purposes. It can be a way to pay respect, express solidarity, or establish a connection with the person being greeted. It's a testament to the communal aspect of graffiti culture, where recognition and relationships play a significant role. Greetings are typically considered on par with dedications in the hierarchy of graffiti elements. While they may not be the central focus of a graffito, their inclusion adds a layer of personal and social significance to the work, reflecting the interconnectedness of the graffiti-scape.
