Straight edge refers to a lifestyle and scene that started within the hardcore punk subculture whose adherents abstain from alcohol, smoking, and other recreational drug use. There is considerable debate over what constitutes a straight edge lifestyle, and some adherents may also abstain from caffeine and promiscuity. The term itself was coined by the 1980s hardcore punk band Minor Threat. 4/16/2008 2:15:32 PM |
