The only straight edge bands that were good were in the 80s and their justification for it sort of made a little sense

now it's just basically some lame pretentious fashionable thing. I mean a national day is a perfect example of that

pretty much. making a big deal out of doing or not doing something is lame

what made it cool in the first place

middle class suburban kids not wanting to act like scummy bum types (which were the norm til then in hardcore). guess it made sense in the late 80s with the whole youth crew thing, wanting to be #posi and all that. a lot of the original guys either dropped it eventually or became hare krishnas

Originated from the punkrock/hardcore scene. The philosophy/life-choice that humans should have strength, pride, dignity, honor, and self respect; that they shouldn't engage in activities that are a disgrace to their minds and bodies. (such as ingesting and/or becoming addicted to harmful substances for fun, lying and/or being two-faced, and sharing your body sexually with another person when there isn't even a true emotional bond there)

supposed to be about staying true to yourself, having high morals/principles etc but usually just means being a sanctimonious, preachy dick tbh

Not to say I don't know good people who are edge, but a lot of edgers are twats

The shit in that video is especially the worst though. Gang style violence with the guys giving some supposed righteous or political statement in between. Fuck off It's no better than football hooliganism.

I never really got the whole youth crew/posi/sXe thing tbh but then again pretty much all the hc shows I went to were London style beatdown shit which is not exactly the most upbeat stuff to say the least

Absolutely, fucking disgusting, so glad there was never that kind of shit in the London scene when I was regularly going to shows... The only violence I ever saw at shows was on the dancefloor

what are they fighting over lol

FSU

Friends Stand United (FSU) is a national organization in the United States which is classified by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as a street gang, a distinction that FSU members deny. It is an anti-racist group which includes members of various ethnicities, but is predominantly white. Some members share the same Straight Edge lifestyle. The numbers "378" is the numerical symbol, which correspond to the letters FSU on the telephone keypad.

Elgin James founded FSU, which originally stood for "Fuck Shit Up", in the late 1980s in Boston, Massachusetts. He formed FSU to attack, beat and purge drug dealers and violent White supremacist, Neo-izan and other various racist gangs from punk rock concerts.

FSU has established chapters in many major cities in the United States, Canada and North East England. The group has splintered several times since its initial incarnation, with different chapters holding different values. Universally, the group espouses violence as a valid means to accomplish their goals.

I understand why they'd not want neo-izan's etc in the scene but really they aren't any better in their approach to dealing with it, fuck them

Again, so glad there was none of this shit in the London scene
