Anecdotally, It does seem like graffiti art is all but gone, at least in New York City. I wouldn't blame Instagram though. The real estate industry has pretty much scrubbed the place clean and defacement of their overpriced yuppie enclaves is a big no-no, even in the eyes of millennials. And with places like 5 Pointz gone, there is really no inspiration. Will something like graffiti you need volume to produce quality. There also seems to be a priority and focus on monetization from any of these successful alternative artists. Spraying buildings doesn't produce money. Designing your own limited edition Nike's does.
