What does the X mean in tagging?

[snino1989]

For example

TxF- tortilla flats
ESxT- east side torrance (sometimes EST)
HxA- harbor area (a section of LA)

But then CVTF

So whats the point of X?

exactly ^

its just their own stylo...

but in some cases, it becomes so commonly used by its members, for so many decades, that its always associated with the varrio initials

SxL = South x Los


plus the examples you gave as well...

[elOriginalMartinez]

same way Diamond Street always uses a diamond in between the D and the ST

D*ST

puro stylo

[AztecNinja]

I always thought the diamond in DST was dope, I liked when Cypress Aves would write a lil C a real big A then a lil S. c A s it looks tough and is unique.

[Lonewolf]

puro style like it was already said
DxT
WxF
PxF
BxH
HxV
ExP

the X was stylized back in the 70s like a swastika
but it had nothing to do with white power or none of that
it was pure and solid varrio stuff

same like the = on the sides of = RIFA =
