STRAIGHT EDGE has persisted as a drug-free, hardcore punk subculture for 25 years. Its political legacy, however, remains ambiguous-often associated with self-righteous macho posturing and conservative puritanism. While certain elements of straight edge culture feed into such perception, the movement's political history is far more complex.
