Crass popularised the anarcho-punk movement of the punk subculture advocating direct action animal rights feminism anti-fascism and environmentalism. The band used and advocated a DIY ethic approach to its albums sound collages leaflets and films. Crass spray-painted stencilled graffiti messages in the London Underground system and on advertising billboards coordinated squats and organised political action. The band expressed its ideals by dressing in black military-surplus-style clothing and using a stage backdrop amalgamating icons of perceived authority such as the Christian cross the swastika the Union Jack and the ouroboros.
