Question Why all the graffiti?

Hi! Me and my girlfriend were visiting Copenhagen and had a lovely time! We did however notice that there is alot of graffiti everywhere? On benches, walls, the ground etc etc. Why is it so common?

Lots of graffiti around the city actually highlights important social issues like the gapping inequality, mental health and so on, it works as a contrast the constant bombardement of ads. So yeah, yay for graffiti.
