Edge (2009)

Edge plot

"Perspectives on drug free culture"

The most associated perception of Straight Edge involves abstinence from alcohol, tobacco, other drugs, and sex. Since its origins in the early 80s, these beliefs have spread all over the world, connected through the punk and hardcore music scenes. Through interviews with musicians who have shaped the idea of Straight Edge from its inception to the present day, Edge reveals that drug abstinence was portrayed as a counterculture that rejects a society dominated by drug abuse and hegemony. Ian MacKaye (Minor Threat, Fugazi), Ray Cappo (Youth of Today, Shelter), and Karl Buechner (Earth Crisis, Freya) share their perceptions of Straight Edge's history: why it was so important to them and what changes it in their personal lives and professional careers. In addition, they also point to issues such as violence, sexism and bigotry that arose within Straight Edge, and how it changed the 'scene' as well as its public image.
