    I always respected Ian and his "personal freedom above all" attitude.
    And I'm a guy who likes to smoke his joints. When Ian wrote "Straight Edge" it was a response to the stupid notion that you can't be hardcore without consuming drugs. Straight Edge is about self-empowerment and the right to renounce. It was never about imposing shit on others.
    Militant Straight-Edge kids are sheep. Fuck group mentality!

    @SpielkindFR 12 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Something that a lot of people tend to forget these days ist that straight edge is something you do for yourself! Am I straight edge? No, im growing into it.
    For me it is about living conscious, beeing aware of the moment and myself. Dont waste yourself.
    The day I become straight edge I will wear the X to show my commitment because is is something to be proud of, something that is not easy, but hard. But I will do it for myself.

  • @williambagley302

    As someone who claimed straight edge for a number of years, I will with absolute certainty say that it has bred a sizable culture of violence. I remember seeing Terror (along with Kids Like Us, Nasty Crew and Call To Preserve) in Jacksonville, Florida, at Fuel Coffeehouse, and I saw one kid get the absolute shit kicked out of him for smoking a cigarette. Just because of one vice that that kid has. I don't see anyone beating the shit out of the bros from Terror for eating a goddamn cheeseburger at McDonalds. It just seems so counterintuitive.

  • @ironhead108
    @ironhead108 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Anyone who uses violence or actually believes that violence can change the beliefs of others doesn't understand what straight edge was about in the first place: an individual's choice to maintain their ability to control their actions instead of allowing substances to interfere with that process. Ian MacKaye is an inspiration to us all.

      People always feel an inherent need to belong to something. It makes us feel safe when we are a part of a group. There is a feeling of pride or even purpose for some if that group is paired with their values or some sort of moral agenda. The gatekeeping comes in when people in that group want to protect it from being diluted by people who don't represent those values enough in their eyes.

    This guy is brilliant but anyone who is so easily motivated to murder that they hear it in a song and go do it would of eventually found some other means to motivate them to do so. He said that this isn't a movie. True. But music is an art form just like movies. Is stephen king responsible if someone who reads his material becomes a creative killer? I don't think so.

      Flynn Ryan causing someone to shoot someone in the face and providing an environment for it to seem normal are pretty different but people get it twisted a lot. Someone who wouldn’t normally shoot someone probably still wouldn’t after hearing it, but if someone was raised in a certain environment and they hear it it could totally push them over

    ian is a genius and changed all of our lives whether we know it or not.
    his attitude about how art relates to inner city political termoil and strife, has been long suggested, tho as time goes on this attitude comes across as more and more miopic.
    i know ian started a movement, an indinviduals first movement, but that is not to say everyone is in a position to make a good choice. Art mimicks reality like a feedback loop, however to blame the art for the reality is a sad and common accusation.
