Off-Topic Real life experiences with Crustpunks

[VLAD]

Do you actually have to intend to be a crust punk to be a crust punk? Or are you one if you're just a punk and for whatever reason, you're wearing a shitty overcoat covered in someone else's puke and you're strung out on downers and cheap vodka?

There's a very specific dress and musical style that goes along with crust punk. Even then, you can listen to crust music or dress like an unhygienic Road Warrior extra, but that doesn't make you a true crustie. It's a lifestyle based around being strung out in a pile of someone else's puke.

Nah, you need a quota of at least 17 scene cred.

I used to have friends that had other friends who were crust punks. During a party I opened up one of my antibiotic pills and laid a pile of it on the coffee table, within 5 minutes some chick went over and railed it.
