Crust (music)

In music, crust is an underground hardcore genre related to Noisecore and resembling Death Metal. Its chief original exponents were the band Doom. It derives its name from the term crusty, British slang for a member of a subculture in which people would typically wear their hair in dreadlocks, use drugs and eschew traditional lifestyle choices in employment and housing (i.e. by being unemployed and squatting).

Crust is also a Texas psychedelic band on the Trance Syndicate label.
