"Oogle", while sometimes used to describe gutter punks in general, is often used by gutter punks themselves to describe members of the subculture whom they perceive as "[[poseurs]]" or inauthentic.<ref name="Bentley"/><ref name="houstonpress"/> "Scumfuck" or "Scum fuck" may be used, especially among gutter punks, to refer to certain members of the gutter punk subculture who are perceived as selfish, apathetic, violent, aggressive, overly [[nihilism|nihilistic]], or overly [[hedonistic]]. Scumfucks are often labeled as heavy alcohol and drug users with overtly [[macho]] tendencies, and they are generally more [[apolitical]] than other members of the gutter punk subculture. The notorious punk musician [[GG Allin]] was known to use the term to describe himself.<ref name="philweekly"/><ref name="punknomads"/><ref name="ethics">{{cite book|last1=Avery-Natale|first1=Edward Anthony|title=Ethics, Politics, and Anarcho-Punk Identifications: Punk and Anarchy in Philadelphia|date=2016|publisher=Lexington Books|isbn=9781498519991|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yrWRCwAAQBAJ&q=scum+fuck&pg=PA87|accessdate=13 July 2017}}</ref>
