I've done some overhauling here, removing POV stuff and original research. I've tried to keep as much to the original text as possible as I realise that people have put time and effort into their contributions but to be honest a lot of it had to go to comply with prevailing standards. Most of the text I've added is referenced to just one particular book and this lends something of a UK-bias to the page but it is from a proper ethnography and does tally with my own experiences of being a soap-dodging crusty for many years. Also I feel this sub-movement is quite distinct from crust-punk so I hope we keep the seperation going. Silverwood (talk) 16:41, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I think we need to harmonize and integrate this with other, similar articles, like crusty. Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 23:26, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

I was just about to leave a message saying the same thing. I think this page more better describes crusties than Crusty which mainly describes only English crusties involved in bands. It's a broad term and hard to pin down. - Pockets23 23:51, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

It seams to me that this page is useless as it is already covered in the crust punk page, as well as it have many errors and inconsistancies. For example I know A LOT of sXe Crust kids (including myself) and find a common attitude of "druk punks are wasting their life" cvoming from the crust scene... Even crustys that dring seam to often feal this way. On the other had we have bands like Leftover crack. I would suggest that the crust scene is almost even in alcohol and drug use as it is in non use. Also the main points of crustys is to do with anarchistic ethics and the music and DIY. None of these are even mentioned... "crustys are people that don't live like every one else" or what ever the exact statement was is a retarded overgeneralization, that could include any one from hippies to punks, to monks or indigenouse people in south america. It sais nothing of the culture. I think this articasl should be deleted. 24.68.232.96 10:31, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Anyone have a problem with me removing the "it's a britsh thing" from the article? The casualties have mentioned crusties, I'm sure it's not just us limeys. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 195.195.244.67 (talk • contribs) 13:32, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure crusties aren't known for their love of toffees and crisps, so i'm taking it off. OblivionSoul327 2:03, 6 July 2007
