| I really look up to this dude as the creator of sXe even though he didn't really meant to invent a lifestyle. I'm sad now that hes a drinker. F*ck drugs, premarital sex, beer and cigars! I've got the sXe too - xXx | |

| i heard somewhere that ian in fact did not coin the term but the drummer did. The story goes like this, while they were making a poster for an upcoming show the drummer used a rulers straightedge to kind of compare their lifestyle to. Thats all i heard, i dont know if its true, though. SxE FoR LiFe | |

| "The only reason kids wore the X's was to unite at shows and show love to their peers." uhm...no...not at all, back in the 80's when you were under 21 they put X's on your hands so they new you couldnt drink and the culture just kind of tagged it on. also, he did not define straight edge, coin the term or anything of the sort just wrote a damn good song about it. teen idles were calling themselves straight edge before this song came out. ive been sXe for two and a half years, this being after getting over an addiction to anxiety medication that almost killed me. i wont even take prescriptions or drink caffeine now, i want to keep my body as pure as possible. ive never really worn X's, only at shows where i know there will be drugs. i dont preach though, thats just annoying. | |

| i don't understand the straightedge movement. I mean, i think anyone who stands alone and says "I'm staying clean" is fuckin hardcore, but someone who needs a whole movement and a nice little symbol to do it is just there tryin to fit in... even though i quit using drugs and i've been sobre for a year you'll never hear me call myself straightedge. I can do it without wearing an X | |

| well for the most part you guys are right, but no guys ian does not drink. i saw him at the fort reno show and him with this and he was actually ANGRY that i would say that. he's still as sXe as ever, although i don't know if he's married and had kids or whatever, cuz joe lally had, but whatever. i ditto on every comment to fuck drugs alcohol and permiscuous sex, and finally id like to add that if you guys really want to know THE Minor Threat story check out a book called "Our Band Could Be Your LIfe" at your library or buy it somewhere, its a truly awesome book, the story of 11 (i think) punk and hard core bands from late 70's to early 90's. its really worth anywones time if they want to know the story behind huge indie names like husker du, minutemen, mission of burma, black flag, minor threat, dinosaur jr, sonic youth and a few others. definitly worth a purchase, but if not at least seek it out at the library. peaces sXe forever........... | |
