I don’t disagree that graffiti is much more than neonazi morons failing to draw swastikas. Ultimately, though, it is just a silly meme, in the vein of “New BAD old GOOD”, done by humorously contrasting a single example of a Roman bragging about exploring his sexuality with modern neonazis (who often attempt to appropriate ancient Rome whilst being immensely homophobic).
Is there a different word for when people write names, tags or cocks on walls? Because I’ve seen far more of that than anything with any artistic merit - if that’s what we’re keeping the word graffiti to describe.

If it takes someone decades to come up with the brain dead tags I’ve seen they should stop huffing paint and try an art class.
Graffiti is art that is sprayed on walls.
If I spill some paint on my canvas coat, that doesn’t make it a painting either.

Uhhhhm…
Hell, you can even have a painting without any paint
The only criterion is that you can bullshit your way through presenting your spilled paint.
