crusty punk 

A punk rocker who does not care so much they look like homeless street lurkers and will eat anything derived from anywhere such as discarded food tossed on the ground or left in the trash.

Crusty punks have no care for personal hygiene at all. The reference to being a Crusty Punk is based on them being so dirty they form a crust of filth around themselves.
Example 1:

I was at the Punk Rock gig my buddy went to and this crusty punk picked up a burger someone threw in the street and ate it.

Example 2:
I'm a crusty punk. I could care less where i find food, I will eat it even if it was in the trash.

Example 3:
Young man, I don't care if you like punk rock. You smell like a clothes hamper full of week old gym socks. Take a shower. I am not having a crusty punk living in my house!

California Crust Punk 

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.
Me: "I love nearly all of the bands from the California Crust Punk scene!"

Damn near any other person: "California what-punk?"

2. A punk who listens to crust music and dresses "crustie" ie: all black, studded denim jacket or vest, and a plethora of band patches and pseudo-politcal slogans. Other common features included dred mullets and homemade tattoos.
We went and saw an awesome crust punk show in someone's basement last night! We were surrounded by about 40 smelly kids with dogs and studded vests drinking 40oz's, and the music was so loud my ears bled. It was great!

Crust Punk 

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.
"Dude, are those homeless people?"
"Nah, they're just poser bitch crust punks."
