- Saw this on portlandia the other day and had to upload it! After spending 17 or 18 years around this type of people I found this hilarious (and true in too many cases) ENJOY! (no infringement intended)
"poverty is so much fun when you can turn it off and on."
mitsos o monaxikos I don't think you understand that they are being sarcastic and criticizing people with that mindset, not agreeing with it. Also, Africa is not the only place that deals with poverty.
mitsos o monaxikos Frankly, that's just your personal opinion. I'm of the belief that either everything is okay to make jokes about, or nothing is okay to make jokes about. It's fine if you don't personally find certain things humorous, but others will. That's just how the world works.
@@echostorm1996 you shouldnt be so dogmatic as it isnt black-white in life.
mitsos o monaxikos How exactly am I the one being dogmatic when it is you who is claiming that certain things are universally just not funny? I'm saying that humor is subjective and what one person may find offensive and non funny, another will think is humorous.
mitsos o monaxikos I never stated nor implied my belief was the general consensus. My intent of telling you that was to simply offer a different viewpoint on the subject, since you had first claimed that some things just aren't funny. I was demonstrating that people have different opinions on it, and none of them are absolute. This all started because you got upset at someone making a sarcastic comment that was meant to criticize people who glamorize poverty, and yet you were angry at them as if they were mocking poverty which wasn't the case.
Those costumes are 100% accurate.
They're missing Johnny Hobo and Leftover Crack patches.
bababooeydude Everybody who's never hung around hippies. lol.
waaamp wammp waaammmppppppppppppppp
one you clearly don't know very well loooooool
u missed the joke m8
I think rich kids go gutter punk often bc they often come from such rigid, authoritarian, freedomless, keeping up perfect appearances homes where their busy, narcissistic, money obsessed parents weren’t present or emotionally available.
So, being on the road is the total opposite of that: adventure, freedom, intense personal bonding. I get it. But the happiness is in the middle and eventually I hope they and their families all discover that. Money is great, I wish we all had it, but so is the opportunity for freedom, adventure, creativity and deepp relationships.
This is really interesting
Henry Rollins was an eagle scout on ritalin until he met black flag
lol. Gutter punks act broke and then at night go home to mom and dads house. They are losers and aren't actually poor. They live in nice homes with their parents, and poor in public, and then go back to their nice homes to sleep.
It makes sense, my dad wasn't rich but I admit that we were comfortable for a working class family, and my dad kinda was a workaholic so I was always at home, alone. And when he was there, he was on the phone with his boss/coworkers. My dream was to live from music so I didn't care about high school, work, all I wanted was to live in a van, playil music in venues etc. I guess I was going opposite with the "never work" mentality because I was afraid to become like my dad (he we always take every overtime offer, never taking days off even when sick etc) It just felt like he was slaving himself and recently told me that he felt bad and should have spend that time with me. We're in good terms now but looking back it wasn't THAT dramatic either.
Man, I used to live in Portland, and I know a few people just like this. A bunch of trust fund kids that come from wealthy families, and they pretend to be street kids/anarchists. Fuckin posers, lol. I love this show. It totally nails the Portland scene.
I have the bacpack from this episode.Haha ,I dumpster Dove it ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
@The Thirst I was just thinking of idea of the rich kid pretending to be poor. The leaders dad was a rich scientist and hes found to be in a mansion.
They're backwoods mountain folk but without the ticks and bears.
Tbh the hobo economy relies on these people for the influx of cash
Im curious - if they're rich then why do they chose to spend their time posing and panhandling?
UPDATE: Ten years later they become Rockabillys, beacuse as everyone knows, that's where punks and goths retire and die.
chicanochrist and y9ur comment is true. maybe not for the next gen of punks tho.
I refer to that as the "rockabilly retirement plan"
So do I.
chicanochrist I accept that as someone who's entire wardrobe is black
hahaha
I remember the horror in my friend's eyes who taught me how to hop trains and was *totally* invested in the aesthetic of being an oogle more than anything when they realized they were technically in the 1%
Eat the rich... I mean everyone richer than me!
People have written at length about how this is a common psychological thing, everyone looks at the world and sees people richer than them and that is how they define what "rich" is: the people richer than them. So this is how you get rich people who think they are just middle class, and working class people who don't realize they are richer than middle-class people in a lot of other countries.
@@ev6558It's insane what a little perspective can do for a persons misconceptions.
Just as long as you got a lot of hanging stuff, gonna be alright.
you have resident dumbass fascist jordan peterson as ur pfp though so can you be trusted at all?
"what are those for"
"just so you can hear it"
They nailed it with the way they walk.
" these have to hang...just a lot of this...
just so you can hear it". this is why this show is so great. poking fun at the almost ritualistic way people attempt to be cool.
lol, when they are explaining to him how to say 'dollar' more irritatingly, such a smart joke
"this is kind of a cat's tongue;...a devotion blue" wtf!!!! I love it!!! lmfaooooo
This is… accurate. Not all crust kids are rich, but some are… it’s usually the ones who don’t share food. One time I saw this girls bank account with 6 figures in it. She was so ashamed she moved to another state.
Stop pocket watching you loser
I love girls like that. So hairy and stinky down there 🥵
Did you mean to say crust or trust? Either fit, just curious.
@@famkefreckles6157 Ha! That’s true, both work. I meant “crust.”
Omg she was so embarrassed she needed to relocate that's hilarious
some of the crust punks I've met came from the richest neighbourhoods in my city. the most hardcore craziest people i have met just look normal, a giant mohawk is a pretty good indicator of a lack of personality.
agreed!!!!
a mohaw isnt always a lack of personality
punks not how you dress... it's now how you talk... it's not your skin color or how you wear your hair... it's about how you think, if you have empathy for the weak and innocent, and if you hate people who take advantage of people already down on their luck.
Balling Like Choji punk is more than social justice. go tell poison idea they aren't punk. go tell bad brains. go tell cro-mags. go tell anti-seen,go tell misfits and samhain. your idea of punk includes buzzfeed if that's your definition. also i never said they weren't punk, i was saying they are lame dorks. like you.
Punk's are the new hippies.
There's a huge trend of crust punks in my small hometown in New Mexico. Now there's 20 acoustic guitar punks in the park trying to update a facebook status to let everyone know they are exponentially artistic.
Lol
I want to throw big gulps at smelly dipshits.
I just tell groups of those kids I don't give money to anyone who has a newer iPhone then I do, sorry.
Da!n now I wanna listen to new mexico song by Johnny hobo
I think they’re actual real vagrants, you described what I think is Socorro
I am from NJ and then lived in Portland for 5 years during the early years of this show. I never watched it until I left Portland and it is so true in so many ways
That pet gutter-bunny with the eyeliner made the whole skit for me, in fact, that what I want for Xmas now;; usually I just get a stocking full of dust bunnies, but this up year I want a baby gutter bunny with a little studded cat leash and eyeliner -and can’t forget the filthy bandana (mini chihuahua sized)!
The punk bunny 🐇 made this skit perfect.
I saw some teenager train hoppers in the park once. Some of them could have been as young as 14. I bought some Chinese food for one of them and all of them chased after the kid. A girl came up to me and sincerely said thank you. Most of them are runaways.
I am Fred at 2:01 when i try to fit in, and that's exactly the reactions i get.
This rings so true to me. The so called gutter punks in my high school days mostly seemed to come from families that were very well off.
Maybe felt like that life is empty and they are not totally wrong.
"Now what?" "Now we walk around." lol
This is Telegraph Ave in Berkeley
This is SOOOO Telegraph lolol
Yeah, obviously not Portland. Good thing most viewers don't know any better.
Actually it is Portland if you had a clue...there are tons of people like this in Portland and a few in Eugene too. But most punks move to Portland in Oregon.
Chris Alfano I live in Oregon, its actually worse.
Brian F. BRUH PEOPLES PARK LMAO
I know this was from 4 years ago but I really needed this laugh this morning!!!!!!🤣😆🤤
I was in Portland 3 weeks ago and this pretty much nails it
There're the equivalent to the weekend hippies of the 60/70s, hmm nothing much changes .
Crusters gonna crust.
I remember meeting gutter punks all the time in the park in the 90s...one gutter punk girl was named geordie and her animal was a bat she found on the side of a building...and Fred nailed that gutter punk with the backpack walk.
I'm not even gonna google dennis macdonald if only for the joy of not knowing
I still havent listened to that Beeber song thats been played ovr a billion times
hahahahahaa
@@FluxFreeman It’s not terrible really. Just your typical doo-wop number sung by a kid. Just the kid in question happened to be famous.
@@punkgrl325 yea I just don’t want to hear it on principle haha, it’s like a weird badge of honor that only I care about. I still haven’t heard the song unless maybe out of a car window or something but I still wouldn’t know it’s the song
The bunny's face while the guy is talking is the funniest part to me. He doesn't know wtf is going on. 😂
That bunny never moved..my Bosco would have been freaking out
I have a lot of dollars. Ha ha
Lol. That made me laugh too!
I traveled off/on with gutter punks in the late 90s.
About half of them were always cultivating, always trying to better their environments. All of those now are super successful in bettering so many peoples lives through industry, farming, etc.
The other half were always using up any resources around them, leaving places worse than when they arrived, and yet were the first to be offended, complain, and/or give up when things required actual work.
Today, its mostly the second.
But they have instagram accounts and their parents credit card.
I used to sit at sixth and yamhill by the seal statue and ask "can you spare a penny today?" I'm 2002. I'm in my 40s now. Single dad, kid, job, so that good stuff. I'm glad I spent time living like that to make me appreciate what I have now. BTW it was 32°f and freezing rain most of the time I was there. I didn't shower, wash my clothes, and wore every piece of clothing I had all at once just to stay dry and warm. When I climbed into my sleeping bag at night my wet clothes would mold.
Pretty realistic depiction.
we used to call these types "Trustafarians" as many of them were on trust funds and the first version of gutter punk was just a ripoff of ascetic rastafarians
Bullshit. Dreadlocks come from indian sadhus
Crustfund
@@karlscher5170 huh
That's the word we used. Yep. To spot a trusifarian look for the guy or gal lecturing about your search for employment and a source of income equals selling out.
That jawbone xylophone at the end cracked me the fuck up
Hilarious. These guys are ahead of their time and spot on!!
Who also thinks Carrie is hot AF!!??
She’s mid for a J
Actually for a j she’s a high mid
I have a lot of sympathy for and try to help people who live on the streets. Sometimes life sucks and you end up in a shitty situation. But most of these crusty kids end up growing out of this and going back to mom's house. I was never really a squatter. I had a decent upbringing, but not rich by any means. I got mixed up with drugs in my teens and into my mid 20's. I was homeless for a while but I always had friends who would look out for me. Now I'm in my 30 ' s and I've kicked the drugs. I make a decent living, and I still love punk rock.
This video was the dumbest thing I've seen in months by far lol
Congrats on kicking the drugs. I was an addict for years-never ended up homeless but it was close. I’ve totally turned my life around & it sounds like you have also. Good job & best to u ❤️
congratulations on reclaiming your life. I hope all is well with you!
I liked trains and industry so I got an engineering degree. I listen to talk radio. I moved out of my mother's house shortly after I graduated college mainly because she bought my brother two Chihuahua dogs. I just got married to a south american.
@@MilwaukeeF40C How are your brother and his two Chihuahua dogs doing?
Granville Street & Commercial Drive, Downtown Vancouver
Draven Ayles I once saw 2 squeegie kids brawling on commercial over territorial rights of the intersection.it was a humid, bitchy, smelly hot day.everyone is pissed off, ect.
I lived in Portland from 2001-2014
While these are largely overdramatized. There is some truth.
I remember when I turned in the years before and after turning 30
the two years before, and the two years after. It was like the great reckoning. You learned who was living that life because they were broke whether it be “struggling hipster artist or punk; And who was living that life, because it was an aesthetic, and gave them access to things like the arts
Some of the people who made the show fit in this demographic -
I remember people started buying the Krusty punk houses that they lived in and kicking people out.
But that wasn’t the majority. A lot of us had broken homes and lived on the street since we were teenagers. Those crusty house helped get us of the streets and I am to this day grateful for that community.
Yeah it’s just a lot of haters in the comments probably had bad encounters with these guys. Even if they were homeless by choice that shouldn’t make it any less challenging the life they lead if they are hoping freights begging squatting and dumpster diving that is no easy lifestyle even if it is by choice. If they had rich parents but are cut off then it’s really no different than being dirt broke
@@asddfasdqwe7389 absolutely
I would actually give them a dollar if I passed by and they were playing that tropical tune.
It seems no one in this comment section realizes Fred Armisen (the main actor of this show) knows a lot about extreme music/culture and this is a valuable in depth parody of faker beggars that claim to be part of the punk culture but are more concerned about the way they look and matching the crust punk description they read on wikipedia than their political activism and beliefs. Cum on fellas
I visited Portland and it was filled with people like this sitting on curbs.
New Damage and? Theres nothing wrong with " people like this" meaning I guess gutter punk type people who are doing their own thing and living their lives. I suppose you hate the homeless to and try to blame them for being poor? Maybe its just that you are privileged enough to never have had to tink about how to survive. Maybe you are one of those idiots who actually beleves life is what you make it and if ou work hard you'll never end up in the streets huh? Its a BS fake ass, lie of an American dream that no longer exists while College grads end up unable to find work even. This world is beyond repair. If you are born poor, your family is dead like mine or you are not perfectly clone-like in society no one will hire you anymore because theres always some clone, yes man or corporate jerk also applying who cant think for or be them self, who always get the job. If you want to dress, act and be exactly who you are inside day to day, like I do, then you do not get the chances in life to have riches a home etc. This wrld forces people to choose between being different or being a success, and that alone is so fucking wrong that theres no hope.
you can even see how accurate they are portrayed in aesthetics - this is an honest parody, not some corporate crackdown on stereotypes
Drew McGivhan wait extreme like death metal? You trying to tell me Fred listens to Bathory?
he probably listens to way more intense shit than Bathory
Why is everybody so shocked how accurate the show is? It’s a documentary disguised as a comedy. Portland is fucking weird in a fun way. The first time I went I was in a grocery store and this Guy comes around the corner dressed from head to toe in this really well tailored suit with a floral pattern that looks like a grandmom’s wallpaper. Pink and yellow. The guy even had shoes and a matching hat and glasses. Talk about owning it
That guy is a dork.
hlyshit the email notification sound at the end + facial expression is slaying me
This skit is so ON point.
i love reading the comments from all of the hipsters and crustpunks pitching a fit. You guys are so cute.
Heretic ljol great name
Nathan Sharp
its zero
I read the comments, Nobody's saying anything dude. Maybe u just want to make fun of people for no reason?
+Heretic You're cute too
My asshole stinks. I just put my finger up there and pulled it out and smelled it. Musty and MOIST.
My favorite carrie look ever
The Xylophone teeth made this sketch. So under rated and creative.
‘What are those for?’
‘Just so you can hear it’
Hahahaha
I grew up on punk and going to punk shows, but there comes a point where you realise that all they do is complain and blame others for their unsatisfying life, without ever coming up with any solutions.
Yup
"I was a Beck head..."
"I knew it!" Lol
Haha, the dog, rich parents, this was perfect!
Lived in Asheville, NC for a few years and this is obnoxiously accurate.
I used to get off work at 10pm and wonder around Portland with random groups of people. One night my dealer was out of town and I wanted to buy some marijuana but wasn't old enough to go to the dispensary. So I eventually found these two guys at waterfront park who were sparking up and I started chatting with them, asked if I could buy some weed and they just shared theirs with me for free. Few puffs in I come to learn that one of the dudes is a schizophrenic satanist and the other is a meth cook from Louisiana running from the police. Eventually I left because the Max line was getting ready to shut down. Got off on the wrong stop and was asking people around for directions because my phone had died. Ran into some vagabonds and they dropped me some acid behind a taco bell. As soon as I got home I payed down on my bed and started to trip balls.
Moonman Pow Beautiful story..
I genuinely found this boring.
sounds kinda fake when u got to the ending part lol
The best acid is crust acid. Can confirm
I remember days like this when I was in my early 20s in Portland. I used to get off work and just roam around the city hit some shitty bars like Yamhill pub or roll over to red and black. Making friends with random people. Was good fun miss the freedom.
"Yeah, fck the system!" - Says the person that made loads of money from the system and is still protected by it.
"Lavender and devotion blue" lol
I used to work at a punk/metal/hardcore record store in the southwest many years ago, and invariably the locals who worked awful, low paying jobs would come in once or twice a month after payday to buy one or two records or maybe a shirt, but whenever somebody who dressed and talked pretty much exactly like the gutter punks in this video came in, I knew to expect an AmEx black card!
(Which meant "Make sure our piece of sh!t card reader is working properly!")
Good one. Hahaha. Blast the Neurosis and Cannibal Corpse! I was gutter punk and I was poor.
but neurosis is famous for a reason...
"posers, they're like punks but ~they did it for fasion~"
Steveo slc punk
This is the most beautifully random show
The gutter punks in the French quarter of New Orleans are incredibly “ in your face” with whatever they ask for. Usually 10 or more with at least a dog a piece. Funny thing is they probably come from way more money then I ever had.
"cats tongue, lavender, devotion blue' ahahaha
Those are great colors.
My sister lived in DC and used to go to parties in Georgetown. It was a bunch of rich kids dressing in rags pretending to be oppressed.
Why have I not seen this show before? 😂 genius
This is great deconstruction of that life style.
Similar thing where I live. Rich kids dress up like the very people they do not hang around at all or the people who do the things they would never do outside of school. Funny how that works
things got to hang.....just so you can hear it.
How have I not seen this show!? At first I thought that guy looks like Danesh from Silicon Valley. Haha I'm dumb
Ah, the Brown Goths.
The most accurate skit about crusties lol 30 or 40 of the cats i know in Southern California are like that
AS HE LIGHTS AN AMERICAN SPIRIT....
1:33
That’s why he’s ripped now
This couldn’t be more accurate haha
I literally started listening to punk rock when I was 9 and never once did I dress up like a clown
Bullshit dude. You were living in some log cabin in Kentucky.
@@jimbodice2672 I take it you like to play dress up
@@Crystifodere whooooosh
Honestly same. Dressed like a fucking 40 yr old man as a teenager if anything

1:38 I love how he says "I have a lot of daawlers." 😄
Thunderdome kids
how to be an oogle 101
That rabbit is wearing a spiked collar. How funny!
This skit will always be hilarious to me, not just because I hate crust punks, but because the part about them being rich generally tracks. I went to high school in a pretty affluent area and had some friends from upper-middle class backgrounds get into this kind of lifestyle. Don't think I'll ever understand the appeal.
He looks like a Pakistani version of Justin Trudeau.
Watching this makes me thankful I live on the east coast.
Well you get a ton of these in Philly to and it's really weird because they look identical this is exactly what every single crust Punk looks like and I do not understand how they all look exactly the same.
So what you are trying to say is: you don’t have humor and can’t poke fun of yourself and your local culture?
Identical in New Orleans too.
And join a gym he did. Man went from gutter punk to a brick house
Just throw a little heroine in the mix and welcome to Portland! 😄
I wish we could go back to the time when we were that innocent.
I went to school with people like this actually the worse
1:13 So THAT is who they mean by "Pat the Bunny" now I get it.

lol --did this skit so well
"I have a lot of dollars"
NOLA!
lmao I've met these people. I love posts from inside trains "Sent from My iPhone".
I'm guessing there are very few people today, if any, that hop trains because they're poor. What would they be doing riding a train in 2016, looking for work? I just can't think of many reasons some really impoverished person in need of help felt like they had to get on a train. Sure, there are poor people, quite possibly voluntarily poor, who like to hop trains just as there are people with money who like to hop trains. It's really nothing more than a hobby or a preferred type of travel. A whole lot of people have cell phones-and there are no requirements for hopping a train. And despite the fact that people don't actually look for jobs or assistance or something via train tracks, why should it be assumed that poor people don't own phones anyways? Phones are important tools for people, especially poor people, and can be acquired with a little savings. Poverty isn't devoid of iPhones or other things cost money.
Met one of those at a music festival. He picked the crumbs out of his dog's eyes
I'm surprised how accurate they were with the gutterpunks
Never let anyone make you feel ashamed for how you dress.
This is why I told my mom to STFU when she said if I could change out of my assless chaps and gimp mask when I picked her up to take her to the mall and walk around.
Carrie looks great with dreadlocks i'll tell u what
Visited Portland a few times, best bud was a firefighter there and told me theres so many runaway youths flocking to Portland that they had camps around the arena where the Blazers play
lived in portland for 8 years and CAN confirm this
