Spanish term or phrase: rayado

This is from a text about working with pre-adolescents in Chile, specifically how much they enjoy projects related to street culture:

Por ejemplo, en este contexto, la posibilidad de trabajar a partir del imaginario de la cultura urbana callejera —el mundo de los graffitis y rayados— es siempre excitante y significativa para los participantes.

Thanks!

graffiti writing

Explanation:
I think here "rayados" is synonymous with graffiti, but is specifically writing, differentiating it from more creative street art:

I think you could use street art for graffiti, and graffiti or graffiti writing for "rayado"

Another example to support it could be any kind of writing:

Las calles de Chile están llenas de graffitis, pero nadie los documenta y duran muy poco. Hasta ahora.
No es raro que un graffiti digno de antología tenga una corta vida: estos rayados callejeros llenos de humor o denuncia social suelen terminar sus dias pintados por encima con el color que originalmente tenía el muro que los acoge.
