Nyc Graffiti Magnets
Description: Every set in New York City in the '70s and '80s includes a graffiti-covered subway, and for good reason - this was what things were like underground. The illegible urban hieroglyphics gave a sense that the trains were controlled by wild gangs of teenagers... which was kind of true. The fight to keep trains free of graffiti was nonstop, but in 1984, an incoming president of the NYC Transit Authority declared war on graffiti. Leveraging a variety of tactics, major inroads were made in keeping trains clean and free of graffiti. If a car was painted on, it was taken out of service and cleaned - no cars would run with graffiti on them. In May 1989, victory was declared in the anti-graffiti war, though the actual success is debatable.

Description: Krush Groove is a 1985 American musical comedy-drama film about a guy named Russell Walker who starts a hip hop record label called Krush Groove. Walker signs all of the hottest acts to his label, and when one of his groups has a hit and he doesn't have the cash to press records, he borrows money from a street hustler. The movie received a mixed reception, but the fact that it is a who's who of 80s hip hop with various groups and performers making appearances, some portraying themselves, and some as fictional characters, has made it a popular time capsule.
