Straight edge has been a lot of things over the years. A movement, a mindset, a reason to throw down, and for some, a fight worth taking to the streets. A new six-part documentary just dropped on YouTube, breaking down the history from the early 80s hardcore scene to the militant days of Boston and Salt Lake City, the Earth Crisis era, and where things stand now.
It covers the violence, the politics, the purity culture, and the way straight edge has evolved into something way bigger than just not drinking. Whether you’ve been edge forever or you’re just curious about how it all went down, this is worth a watch.
