I wondered what the hell "Straight Edge" was. Found a definition on here (http://www.straight-edge.com/). From what I can gather, its punk without the sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll......

........now where's the sense in that?!!! ;)

No, I'm sorry Tina, I must have missed that post. Where was it?

Commie just mentioned Fugazi, I've heard of them! Who else is considered to be Straight Edge? Is it predominently a US thing?

Isn't it ironic giving a label to something that is trying to be just about the music?

This thread is too confusing... :confused:

well the fugs kinda reject the term i think - even tho it is named after one of their songs.

but probly cos all the other bands are crap :)
