I think The Karate Kid ruined the modern world.
Not just that movie, but all of the movies like it (you certainly can’t let the Rocky sequels escape blame). Basically any movie with a training montage.

I would spend a day with TAKI 183, the first famous New York graffiti artist. As a 17 year old, he began writing his name and street number all over Manhattan.
