Closing Bell: Elvish Tagging in Greenpoint?
New York Shitty needs a translator for some recent tagging that was discovered on storefronts in Greenpoint. Sent in by a NYS reader, “a person is tagging in what looks like elvish.” The reader found the first set on Leonard and Norman and the second on Eckford and Nassau. Anyone know what the tagging says?…

Spnder, you might win the prize. I’ve seen every possible topic on Brownstoner be somehow reduced to either ‘racist’ or ‘classist’ by torch-bearing, pitchfork waving commenters. Your claim that “The Secret Of The Runes” is somehow ‘racist graffiti’ has me scratching my head. I just can’t figure that one out, unless you’re reading something into the Nazi reference above. In which case you’re way off target.
It possible- and I’m not defending graffiti as an artform, nor do I even really consider it defensible- but it IS possible that you’re guilty of an even more egregious douchebaggery.
it says “i am a miscreant scumbag with nothing better to do so i decided to deface someone’s private property.”
Greenpoint humans want to know
I don’t think there’s anything particularly funny about racist graffiti. It’s great for them that anything in Greenpoint or the burg is immediately dismissed as being some sort of hipster douchebaggery.
It says, “Douchebag hipsters have way to much free time and get a f00kin job.”
or something to that effect.
I read this as “Elvis” on first take. Now that would’be been something…
If they were Runes from Middle Earth, they would be Dwarf Runes in Dwarfish.
Yes, der Runen in genitive plural.
no! it’s elvish for “I’m messing up someone else’s property cause i’m a first class a**hole and criminal”!
sure that the 2 owners of those business won’t mind spending time and money cleaning it off though. cause it’s cool.
