In Video Game Settings, the Graffiti Town is a lighter version of Gangster Land where the action takes place in a modern urban area that has all the stereotypical elements of being "urban": tall brick apartment buildings with some wear and tear, elaborate and/or gigantic graffiti on the buildings, and tall chain-link fences. The stage music is usually in the hip-hop genre.
Note this setting has to have exaggerated features of heavy urban areas, like downtown Los Angeles or New York. So Liberty City from Grand Theft Auto can't count because the environment is relatively realistic compared to what is described here. Some basketball video games may have this as a court instead of the usual sports stadium.
Likely to overlap with Metropolis Level. Not to be confused with Art Course.

Kerning City in MapleStory. Semi-derelict buildings? Check. Really impressive graffiti? Check. Hip-hop music? Check. Tri-fecta Graffiti Town.

The entirety of The World Ends with You takes place in Shibuya. In Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance], Traverse Town has become a sort of stand-in for Shibuya, complete with the TWEWY cast as cameos.

Varrigan City from MadWorld, or at least the first three levels of it. The city features Mooks that look like extremely stereotypical street thugs, there are buildings everywhere that usually have stuff for you to kill people with, and the style for the music tracks are more urban-themed compared to the rest of the game (The entire soundtrack is hip-hop, so the tracks in the city have a bit more guitar and piano than the later levels).

Early seasons of Sesame Street contained elements of this since it was originally marketed toward children in urban areas. Many of the "letters of the day" even appeared as graffiti as seen here.

Pokémon Sword and Shield has Spikemuth, located in the south east part of the map. It's a loving homage to games like Streets of Rage, featuring a single hallway of a stage complete with Invisible Walls (actually Mr. Mime's making barriers), and enemy (trainers) jumping in from the sides of the screens. Derelict buildings, graffiti adorn the street, and it feels quite grungy.

Resident Evil 2 has this in the earliest parts of the game (before you enter to the police station) with all the elements of this trope (brick walls, graffiti everywhere, chain link fences, and basketball courts) however, it is a wrecked Graffiti Town after a Zombie Apocalypse.

The second level in Streets of Rage takes place in an urban environment away from the glamourous city that was in the previous stage. The apartment buildings are worn down, graffiti and posters are plastered on the walls, trash is flying in the wind, barrels are everywhere, some areas have chain link fences in the background, and the whole block is filled with punks and other gang-like enemies.

Stilwater in Saints Row has this trope in effect for all but the most wealthy parts of the city, however the trope is dropped entirely in the second and third games, as Stilwater is depicted as a sleeker, cleaner, more realistic city (due in large part to Ultor's corporate security) and Steelport from the third game is a very sleek and bright city.

Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future has Tokyo-To, where the player actually helps decorate the city with said elaborate graffiti. This extends to Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing and its sequel for tracks based on JSR. On top of that, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed's Jet Set course is called Graffiti City.
