Just ask yourself, is it Oik-ish shout-a-long cheeky-monkey anarcho-squat fuck-the-pigs shit-in-a-bean-can folksy ska punk or isn't it Oik-ish shout-a-long cheeky-monkey anarcho-squat fuck-the-pigs shit-in-a-bean-can folksy ska punk, if it isn't Oik-ish shout-a-long cheeky-monkey anarcho-squat fuck-the-pigs shit-in-a-bean-can folksy ska punk then it doesn't belong on this thread.

tbf i wasn't happy with the term "Nu Crusty", the shit we were talking about at first needs its own label

True crusties died along with the b/w photocopier.

yeah I gotta say "crusty" to me means Crass, Dirt, Amebix, Life Cycle, A.P.P.L.E., Hellbastard, Deviated Instinct, that kinda thang
the politics are maybe the same but to me it's a defined (bastard) genre of lefty punk rock
also . . . oh god fuck you Ed Sheeran, "crumbling like pastries"? really?

pastries should be flaky or gtfo

the only reason 'crusty' has a different def'n in the UK is because there were one or two bands in the early 90s who went mnstrm with it, despite having roots in more or less the same community as the (British) bands Drew listed there

that is to say, none of these people are crust punx but they do summon the spectre of the Levellers for those of a certain age, ie every Brit posting itt

oh yeah, I remember seeing lots of people in Levellers t-shirts when I studied in the Uk in the mid-90s- gotcha- never heard any of their music tho (busy raving)

A lot of crusties were just grebos with worse haircuts iirc.

what was the old joke about the levellers gig? someone shouts 'jeremy jeremy' and 2000 people shout 'what?'
