no you miss the point. let me explain: crusties are junkies, crackheads, and alcoholics. they rob you, and generally are pieces of shit: parasites on the universe. no souls. they do nothing but steal everyones shit and do drugs. now gutterpunx, dont even use dope, crack, none of that. they may drink or trip, but it isnt their entire life. its to enhance life. gutterpunx play musick, draw, put out zines, get involved in anarchist rallies or whatever, make art, write, travel, and generally are really good hearted and fun people. theres a huge difference. im not against crusties cuz their different. im against them cuz they turn everything they touch to shit. wherever they go, things crumble. they suck everything dry and move on to do the same elsewhere.
and ultimately i dont tell crusties not to be crusties. despite their asshole ways, theyre still entitled to do their thing. myself, i just remove myself from their presence. at no point did i even mention respect in regards to them, so im not sure where you got that part about them not deserving any respect. i do not cast any serious judgements about them. i just observe their effects on the world around them. when crusties are afoot, you can guarantee that someone will get attacked, someone will get robbed, something will get broken, and someone wil likely get stabbed.
the crusty/gutterpunk dichotomy exists since they are two different breeds of street punx. thats all. just taxonomy, nothing more. hope that helps.
