        Being dirty does not make one a crust punk. People really use that term way too liberally

              Eh in my experience there’s some cross over.

              It’s defo more that kinda “folk crust punk” than “urban crust punk” vibe tho.

                Folk is not crust. You can be homeless and like music without being a crusty. It's a music genre and has its own style.

                  Jeez you’re very legalistic about the definition of crust punk lol.

                  I dated a crust punk girl for a while and more folk-ish people were hanging around her crustie house a lot, seems to be decent cross over between the communities so I don’t think most people really give a fuck if you accidentally call a folk punk a crustie.

                  Honestly early grimes doesn’t fit any label well. She had a bit of a punk aesthetic in terms of her fashion which was a bit crust as time, and the boat trip thing does seem like something a folk punk would do but she also makes electronic music so who the fuck know.

                    I've been heavily involved in punk for about fifteen years and live with someone who's been crust as fuck since the early 90s. Folk punk was basically a bunch of rich hipsters doing a rough appropriation of the look and kinda just forced themselves on the scene. Very underground punk has been an extending network going back to the early 80s and generally building on a history. A bunch of very different people playing very different music who act very different just kinda deciding they're part now has been a pain in the ass for a long time now.
