Panic! at the MTA

Look, somebody found "emo" tagged in actual spray paint on a downtown R train. "I have noticed a higher rate of tags staying up longer and longer of late," writes one blogger, "but I have hope that the subways are returning to the crapper." Blogger, you need to get over your old–New York nostalgia crap; more and more graffiti on the trains is not a good harbinger of anything. And "emo" tagger, whoever you are, you write tragedies, not sins, so please use some kind of water-soluble paint. [Beehive Hairdresser via Curbed]
