Examining the multigenerational impact of punk rock music, this
international survey of the political-punk straight edge
movement--which has persisted as a drug-free, hardcore subculture
for more than 25 years--traces its history from 1980s Washington,
DC, to today. Asserting that drugs are not necessarily rebellious
and that not all rebels do them, the record also defies common
conceptions of straight edge's political legacy as being associated
with self-righteous, macho posturing and conservative Puritanism.
On the contrary, the movement has been linked to radical thought
and action by the countless individuals, bands, and entire scenes
profiled throughout the discussion. Lively and exhaustive, this
dynamic overview includes contributions from famed straight edge
punk rockers Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat and Fugazi, Dennis Lyxzen
of Refused and the International Noise Conspiracy, and Andy Hurley
of Fall Out Boy; legendary bands ManLiftingBanner and Point of No
Return; radical collectives such as CrimethInc. and Alpine
Anarchist Productions; and numerous other artists and activists
dedicated as much to sober living as to the fight for a better
world.
