Oh boy. I was straight edge back in the day. I was a bigger fan of the late eighties "Youth Crew" style, though. Ever listen to Bad Brains?  Straight edge is possibly the lamest fad kids have ever come up with. XXX |

Remember Dear Christian, you have but one soul to save, One God to love and serve, One eternity to expect. Death will come soon, judgement will follow, and then, Heaven or Hell forever.

Straight edge is possibly the lamest fad kids have ever come up with. XXX I don't think so. Candy ravers take the cake.  Straight edge kept me (along with a lot of other kids I knew) out of trouble, so I have no regrets. It was useful at that time in my life. I admit, however, that it has manifested itself in various ways throughout the country. Salt Lake City straight edge kids were/are totally lame, as they treat it like a gang or something. On the east coast (DC, NJ, NY, Boston, etc.), it manifested itself in a much more positive way. This was my favorite hometown band. Had a lot of fun going to their shows. |

Punk is dead. Seriously.
It's buried next to Disco. Thank God.  True. It ended when the Ramones went mainstream and the Sex Pistols disbanded in the mid 70's. Though it separated between pop-punk and hardcore punk at the beginning of the 80's, became post-punk/hardcore at the end of the 80's and has "resurfaced" as pop-punk again this past decade. Dead? Yes, but not without leaving a legacy of subgenres. I like the Ramones. The Sex Pistols are... interesting, but I'd rather leave them as a footnote. Take one look at their lyrics and activities. Yikes, those guys were a nightmare. Some of the 80's stuff is ok. Not outstanding, but ok. Out of the recent stuff, I think most of the pop-punk is generally harmless. Its mostly lacking the foul language and life of drug addiction and debauchery of the original punk rockers of the 70's. As for metal, I think most of Metallica and Megadeth's stuff isn't too bad as far as parental approval. Thrash metal is usually pretty tame compared to the satanic death metal one usually pictures. I wouldn't say metal is necessarily bad. Heck, I'll share a vid or two of my own when I get to a real computer. I'm posting from my PS3 right now... awww what the heck, I'll give it a try. I wouldn't call that metal, I'd call that hard rock, alternative rock, but not metal. |

When you go up to receive communion, you're literally at the foot of the cross. Standing at all creation's center, the saints gather around. Martyrs, heroes staring into your very being. They lived AND died for Christ... can we say the same of ourselves? What are WE doing to further God's will in this life? Skipping Mass for our careers? Our education? Voting for heads of state, that don't recognize the source of all authority and power? They won't matter on your deathbed (or whatever end we meet).
So... why waste time with this modern world's nonsense? We have our own civilization: CHRISTENDOM. We must restore it whilst the modern world commits societal suicide.
Its naive and idealistic to believe government for man by man can succeed. Restore Christendom in our hearts and homes! Communities aren't that far off, its a numbers game.

The Clash gets no mention??? Hardcore punk is still around, which, itself has split up into many subgenres. Punk is not dead, but dangerous punk (i.e. punk with any sort of intelligent social commentary) is a rare thing. |

I've got a pretty good collection of hardcore but I don't really listen to it anymore... but yeah, I've got a fair amount of bad brains. GBH, DRI, DOA, 7 Seconds- I've got a lot. Youth Crew was basically the same as straight edge, just more organized and commercial. |

Punk is not dead, but dangerous punk (i.e. punk with any sort of intelligent social commentary) is a rare thing. When the spitting, urinating, bleeding and throwing of alcohol, rotten food and hocked up loogies stopped happening at concerts, punk died. Like a previous poster said: DEO GRATIAS. 80's punk was post-punk, not punk. Its a bit laughable when pop-punk artists we have nowadays (Paramore, Blink 182, Green Day's more recent albums) are referred to as punk. I'm not saying pop-punk is lame or anything, I'm just saying it isn't real punk. A good thing though. |

7 Seconds is by far my favorite among those. I saw them in the late nineties. Even though Kevin Seconds was probably pushing 40 by then, they still put on an amazing show. Of course, everyone went ape when they played "Young 'til I Die," which was super popular in DC anyway, since Battery did a sweet cover of it. |
