"Day 32: New Orleans 7/14/95
Whilst negotiating the dank and noxious "Lower Quarter", along the viaduct known by the natives as Decatur, I came upon a subset of American youth known as the Gutterpunk (guh'-tur-punk') Eng.-passive-aggressively hostile, primarily of suburban lineage, affecting a post hippie ease with al fresco living grafted to a post-punk attraction to tatoos, body piercings, unemployment and aversion to soap and/or water. This is a surly tribe and one would be lucky to be suffering a sinus infection while in close proximity as their odour is that of an abattoir recently set ablaze by its penurious proprietor.
One notable exception to this otherwise scurrilous species is the Pold (pohld) Eng. also known as the Punk with a Heart of Gold. This subspecies does not suffer from the Gutterpunks' allergies to honest work or bathing, and happily converses with nonmembers. Tattoos and piercings are omnipresent as is a distinct hearing loss from (hopefully) listening to London Calling through Marshall stacks. Dreamy, faraway eyes and unfortunate facial hair choices are a hallmark of this affable if somewhat scruffy genus.
