Some self-identified gutter punks may distinguish themselves from "[[crust punk|crust punks]]" and "[[New Age traveller|travellers]]", and vice versa; however, there is considerable overlap between the groups, and the terms are often used interchangeably.<ref name="NYDN"/><ref name="Bentley"/><ref name="cb3">{{cite news|last1=Anderson|first1=Lincoln|title=Travelers trash C.B. 3 member's 'crusty proposal'|url=http://thevillager.com/2013/04/04/travelers-trash-c-b-3-members-crusty-proposal/|accessdate=13 July 2017|work=The Villager Newspaper|date=April 4, 2013}}</ref><ref name="hauser2"/>
