crustpunk 

Crust punk (also known as stenchcore or simply crust) is a fusion genre of anarcho-punk and extreme metal that originated in the early to mid-1980s in England. Originally, the genre was primarily mid-tempo, making use of metal riffs in a stripped-down anarcho-punk context, however many later bands pushed the genre to be more grandiose, faster or more melodic. Often songs are political, discussing environmentalism, anarchism, anti-capitalism, feminism and animal rights.

I was at a crappy crustpunk bar after work getting a drink, one of those holes in the wall where the bartenders clearly hate you.

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?"

crust punk 

1. Referring to the style of metal-influenced political punk born in the 80s in england by bands such as Amebix, Axgrinder, and Deviated Instinct.
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 is what peace punk evolved into blending gutter punk culture, metal and anarcho politics together.

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."
