Straight edge became popular in the early 80's the guys name is, was Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat, not Henry Rollins who was into drinking at the time. I don't think straight edge is a movement only because there are no organized meetings or meeting places, there is no appoointed leadership or anything of the sort, so how can straight edge be considered a movement? The kids that go out beating down people who smoke or drink or do drugs are Hard Line Straight Edge, I am not in agreement with that attitude, as long as what you are doing doesn't affect me I don't care but if you're gonna blow smoke in my face, well lets just say shit happens other than that I agree with the idea of being straight because I'd rather be in control. With my head thinking straight, not on drugs or alcohol. Oh yeah peace.
