crust punk is what peace punk evolved into blending gutter punk culture, metal and anarcho politics together.

dumpster dives, vegan, rolls their own cigarettes, may or may not have beards/moustaches, enjoy biking and hiking, peaceful, hate war, talented musically despite the general punk consensus, most have banjos, acoustics and/or ukuleles, dislike showering and being clean

Fake homeless type kids who "live" on the streets despite being able to go home to the suburbs to have mommy and daddy do their laundry any time they want to. They can be spotted by the thousands of dollars of tattoos on their arms. The spend significant amounts of time scavenging for food thrown out by bakeries, grocery stores, etc. when they are not talking about how an anarchist form of government would be way better than whatever we have now.

a form of punk that derives out of anarcho, hardcore punk and metal(some say early black metal)that has sped up chord changes and a overall dirty metal sound. it is true they protest against the government by not washing, but who cares.

a punk who hates politics and the government so much, that they refuse to take a shower, due to the fact that the government provides them with the water. resulting in a shit-like smell.

A crust punk is a punk who hates the government, doesn’t shower and wears the same clothes everyday

A person whose lifestyle causes them to be dirty and downright unsavory, often emitting an obnoxious gas from their orifaces. Definately someone you dont want to bring to a family function.

One of the most unique scenes within the genre, California Crust Punk can be interpreted as a wave of crusty punk/metal/grind bands during the late 80's and early to mid-90's that played an important (albeit sometimes uncredited) role in shaping the sound of modern crust. Early bands included Apocalypse, A//Solution, Carcinogen, Phobia, Plutocracy, Glycine Max, Neurosis, Mindrot, Confrontation, Dystopia, etc. Many of these bands hailed from southern California and/or the Bay Area and tended to blur the lines between the various strains of hardcore punk and extreme metal to create distinctly unique sounds within the scene at the time. Some notable bands that came later in the scene's history include Noothgrush, Skaven, Enewetak, Unruh, El Dopa, Dead America, Despise You, Gasp, Suffering Luna and many more that are most likely buried by time and dust. Although some of these bands can't be defined as crust in the strictest sense of the term, they each had ties and sympathies towards crust punk in some way, whether it was in sound or ethos. The scene more or less dissolved completely by the early/mid-2000's, but it's influence can still be heard in the sonic tapestries of many punk and metal bands around the world. The Oakland region of the Bay Area has continued to play host to many notable "crusty" bands such as Stormcrow, (later) Graves at Sea, Badr Vogu, Brainoil, Embers, Cruevo, etc.

A reaction against the hipster culture; distinguished by their affiliation with awareness groups, use of vintage bicycles, unkept/unruly hair, preference for organic/fair trade/locally grown/vegetarian/vegan food, and dress of a gypsy-like quality. The abhor anything westernized. Their political affiliation tends to swing to either socialism/communism/anarchy (with the exception of Barack Obama.) They spend their time hula hooping (or firedancing), smoking clove cigarettes/hookah, and shopping at the local ethnic market place. Must be obsessed with diversity but friendship circle must consist of all white people...
