[[File:Leggo live Deviated Instinct.jpg|thumb|[[Deviated Instinct]], a first wave crust punk, who coined the genre's original name "stenchcore"|150px]]
The original name for the crust punk genre was "stenchcore", in reference to [[Deviated Instinct]]'s 1986 demo ''Terminal Filth Stenchcore''.<ref name="Rise of Crust"/> In a 2007 interview with ''3PRQ'', the band's vocalist and guitarist Rob Middleton stated "We came up with the 'stenchcore' tag on our demo as kind of a joke as there were so many ridiculous 'cores' going about at the time and people used to comment on our general dishevelment." This term has stayed in use, however has developed from referring to the genre as a whole, to mean the particular mid–tempo, early extreme metal-influence sound of crust punk's first wave such as Deviated Instinct, Amebix and Antisect.<ref name="DIY, 2023">{{cite web |title=What Is Stenchcore |url=https://diyconspiracy.net/terms/stenchcore/ |access-date=29 December 2024}}</ref>

The term "crust" was coined by [[Hellbastard]] on their 1986 ''Ripper Crust'' demo.<ref name="Rise of Crust"/> This name was derived from the "crusty" appearance of the genre's practitioning bands.<ref name="Kuhn">{{cite book |last1=Kuhn |first1=Gabriel |title=Sober Living for the Revolution: Hardcore Punk, Straight Edge, and Radical Politics |url=https://archive.org/details/soberlivingforre00kuhn |url-access=registration |date=2010 |publisher=PM Press |page=[https://archive.org/details/soberlivingforre00kuhn/page/n16 16]|isbn=9781604860511 }}</ref> Punk historian Ian Glasper states, in his book ''Trapped in a Scene'', "''Rippercrust'' [''sic''] is widely regarded as the first time the word 'crust' was used in the punk context, and hence the specific starting point of the whole crust punk genre, although some would attribute that accolade to the likes of [[Disorder (band)|Disorder]], [[Chaos UK]], and Amebix several years earlier."<ref name=Glasper /> In the same book, he quoted the group's vocalist and guitarist Malcolm "Scruff" Lewty "A lot of people say we started the crust punk genre, but whatever. If they wanna say that, I don't mind, but I'm certainly no [[Malcolm McLaren]], saying I invented something I didn't."<ref name=Glasper>Glasper 2009, 185</ref>
