I love straight edge music. Some of my favorite memories of the early 90's are from living in a squat where we would get some money together, get a keg and get trashed listening to Fugazi's Repeater.

Which also might sound strange to the uninitiated: we rebelled against straight edge people.

Same reason people don't give up their morning latte, a relationship, food, behavior, or anything else that brings them pleasure.

This is actually pretty big in Sydney, and I was inspired by a few people I'd met that were in hardcore / punk bands that were all straight edge!
