Minor Threat - what legends they are. Not only 10/10 for raw aggression and just kick you in the face hardcore catchy riffs, but they started a complete movement pretty much on accident.
When asked about being the godfather of SE / Straight Edge , He stated that he never once could have dreamed that kids around the world would embrace his personal choices and song lyrics as a way of life and never intended that in the first place.
Abstaining from everything chemical and even sex, was simply a way for him to be different than the other guys "being different" and rebelling by popping pills and slamming beers at shows. It also helped that none of them were old enough to drink in the bars they played in, but he also really did feel outside of the rest of the kids in DC at that time.
To this day Dischord shows are only $5 and are always all ages.
