I'm a recovering alcoholic and addict, I've been a skinhead for almost two decades. I never got Minor Threat before. Their sound was, um . . . to sober for me to understand it. Also, I didn't want to hear about abstinence without direct knowledge. Now, half a year away from booze, I get the message of personal strength and it is helping to save my life. "At least I'm fucking trying! " indeed.
@kingmuddythethird Yeah, I hear you, some punk bands can be really empowering and help you cope with coming off of shit and getting your life together. I used to be a heroin addict so I can certainly understand.
i'm not straight edge but this band's the shit, i wouldnt like them if they were the type of straight edge that say if you smoke or drink were gonna beat your ass. They just choose to be straight edge that's cool wit me i smoke the bud and just aint givin a fuck
People who brag about being straight-edge are just as bad as people who brag about doing drugs. I smoke pot and love Minor Threat but i'm always asked about being straight edge.
@founderofleadings prove your source of him admitting, the guy in the photo isnt even ian its his brother i owned docs am a fan of ska reggae and oi doesnt make me a skinhead
@PxAxAxFxPxOi He's shaved his head consistently since he was a teenager, he's a fan of Ska, Reggae, Oi, he's a working class person, grew up in the 70's/80's during the Skinhead revival in DC.
He's the epitome of skinhead, he's exactly like the rest.
@TheGluurp Who gives a shit? Straight edge sucks, but minor threat fucking rule. I dont agree with what they are saying, but they say it fucking well.
@rabidus666 I have a problem with followers in general. If a straight edge kid considers himself a follower, he's a prick. The world needs more leaders, not followers.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
sooo many ppl say punk is dead, but there are sooo many good bands these days, blink 182, the offsrping etc. and yea, sure its not as raw as this, and this is fuckin amazing, but "atleast im fucking trying" to move on and like new music, cuz lets face it, this band has been active for 1-2 yrs in the 80's will never reunite, and u do need new music as well, plz dislike haters
why every minor threat video has to have an arguement on straight edge, enjoy it , i had a tape with poison idea kings of punk on one side, and this album on the other...talk about opposites. HA!!!!
in a way the lyrics kind of piss me off if punk is about thinking for yourself and ian is saying u have to be straight edge like everyone else thats bullshit but dont get me wrong minor threat is the shit
@chinchillahunter3 obviously he says on out of step "This is no set of rules" so fuck off idiot, do your research before you start spouting off shit on the internet.
@chinchillahunter3 for the people involved in the DC scene, being straightedge was a way of being different. being forbidden to play live unless they were marked, reacting against the wanton behavior of glam metal culture, and the prevalence of drug and sex education were internalized by these young people to form their own identity.
so rather than an instruction to others, Minor Threat's straightedge was a statement about themself.

Also, yeah, punk isn't dead. People are just too lazy to look for new bands.
Aren't you also contradicting yourself a little?
