The Curious Case of ‘7SoulsDeep’: An Urban Scribble Phenomenon

Have you noticed the increasingly popular yet bothersome scribbles cropping up in areas like Fitzrovia, Brick Lane, and beyond? The tag in question is ‘7SoulsDeep’. It seems to have garnered quite a bit of attention—albeit not the kind that invites admiration.

As I wander through these vibrant neighborhoods, I’m often caught off guard by these juvenile musings that seem to dominate the urban landscape. While I might be inadvertently giving them the attention they are seeking, I can’t help but feel a sense of frustration each time I come across one.

A brief exploration reveals that these expressions originate from America, a detail that feels all too fitting given their apparent nature. The thought of these youthful impressions attempting to leave their mark on the streets raises questions about the balance between self-expression and community aesthetics.

One can’t help but wonder if there’s a way to promote creativity that doesn’t provoke eye-rolls from the very people who encounter it. Perhaps it’s time for these ephemeral messages to fade into obscurity. What are your thoughts on this trend? If you’ve spotted any of these tags in your neighborhood, I’d love to hear your experiences!
