Crunchie (or Crunchy) is a colloquial term for members of any of a variety of eco-friendly subcultures/countercultures, typified by a preference for an idealized state of nature and environmental protection. Crunchies are often, but not necessarily, vegetarian, tending to the left/liberal end of the political spectrum. Typical dress styles involve clothing made of natural fibers, sandals or bare feet, kerchiefs, coarsely-woven fabrics, and simply-crafted jewelry. A small number of crunchies go to the extreme of not bathing regularly.
