Straight-edge has persisted as a drug-free, hardcore punk subculture for 25 years. Its political legacy remains ambiguous and misrepresented as a Puritan conservatism. However, as this study shows, the history is more complex. Since its origins in 1980s the scene has been linked to radical thought and music. Tracing this history, the book includes contributions from famed straight edge rockers like Ian MacKaye (Fugazi), Mark Anderson (Dance of Days) and Andy Hurley (Fall Out Boy) and numerous other activists dedicated to a sober, liberated world.
