The Straight Edge

In 1981, Ian Mackaye of Minor Threat galvanized a pre-existing sentiment that you didn't have to live your life wasted in order to be a true punk.

Since then, the 'Straight Edge' community has come to embody what it means to live a life free of drugs and alcohol.

Since 2011, the STRAIGHTEDGEWORLDWIDE Community News Magazine has been dedicated to promoting members of our community.
