straight edge youth
Definition(s)
- Straight edge draws its name from the lyrics of a song by Washington, D.C., band Minor Threat. Ian MacKaye, Minor Threat's leading vocalist, coined the phrase “straight edge.” Initially the emphasis on straight edge was based on the individual, but since Minor Threat introduced the song in the 1980s, the movement has spread from its East Coast origin to become international.
