Influences:
- Straight Edge An Outline -
Straight Edge began in the early 80's, the philosophy spanning and then diversifying from a song by the band Minor Threat, never meaning to start what effectively became a revolution.
The basic tenet of the philosophy centred on the issue of self-control. Straight Edge is abstinence from all narcotics (alcohol / tobacco / drugs).
The song Out Of Step (With The World) written by Ian Mackaye eschewed the nihilistic tendencies of punk rock, promoting the simplistic message dont drink, dont smoke, dont fuck at least I can fucking think The band also wrote the song Straight Edge which is where the name comes from.
Straight edge is something that got started, well umum there are many opinions on what scene it got started in so ya, you pic one . The people that follow straight edge do not do...
DRUGS,
ALCOHOL,
SMOKING,
AND
CASUAL SEX.
SxE inspired by the band Minor threat has spread around the world. Some sxe are christians or hare krishnas as well as other religions. Ian Mackayes group the teen idles made a bried west-coast tourning in 1980.
The group performed in Maduhay Gardens club since all of the members of the band were under 21.
The members wrote an "X" on their hands with a marker as a warning to bartenders that such people should not be served alcohol.
Mackays second hardcore punk band minor threat in the early-mid 1980s.
Minor threats song "out of step" and "straight edge" started the sxe lifestyle.
For some straight edgers involves refraining from casual sex.
Many sXe persons believes in sex within caring relationships rather than one night stands.
No one is sXe simply because they don't drink, smoke, or do drugs it requires an active decision and participation in the subulture.
At a hardcore show it is common practice to make an X on the hands.
Some people interpret this as a symbol of Ian MacKaye's "Don't Smoke, Don't Drink, Don't Fuck".
Others interpret the three Xs as "Body", "Mind", and "Soul".
Many adopters of the sXe lifestyle get a tattoo of the X symbol on parts of the body or wearing it on clothing, pins,etc.
Attaching the X to your name or a bands name is common pratice of sXe.
