well, the site has many lists, and many of them i have used over the years. they are basically like for information and whatnot. and i noticed there were many many punk/hardcore lists, but no one had ever made a straight edge list. so i decided to. i know it is never going to be "complete", because that is fucking impossible, with all the local bands from different areas and whatnot. but it is a fun thing for me to try and do, and hopefully people will look at it, and be able to see the progression of straight edge, too. with teen idles/minor threat, to youth crew, hardline, metalcore straight edge, youth crew revival, some sxe rap, even some straight edge grindcore. :]

and i will take anti-flag and cfa off, thanks. and the vegan bands.

this whole straight edge rap seems bullshit to me, can't help it.

To earlier posts on the thread..

I believe that everyone creates their own straight edge by following few basic rules; not using, not smoking, not drinking and going to gigs if possible. I'd say after that it's all up to you; what you listen, how do you look like, what you do, what you believe in.

This might be against the scene in some places (like USA, for example, where there is more edgers around) but - as example - in Finland, where THERE IS NO scene almost AT ALL (I think we had one sxe band some time ago) it's hard to "go only to sxe gigs" and "listen only to sxe".

I listen to music which sounds good. I do what I want to do, and being edge is one of those things. Edge for myself, being true to my own values and point of views. Not to judge anybody else.

I don't think you'd find anyone seriously advocating only listening to straight edge bands and only going to straight edge shows. I don't think it's even possible without severely limiting yourself.

I dunno. I used to think of myself as a straightedger, but my reasons were all wrong and I was generally ignorant. Looking back I'd say I never really got it and once I did get it I decided it wasn't for me.

I don't know if that paralells with entire bands (or people who are no longer teenagers) but it'd be interesting to think about considering some of these questionable "are they edge?" bands.

i like a lot of rap. straight edge is a movement in hardcore, not rap, it has no history in rap, and feels totally out of place. sxe belongs to hardcore

xAFBx (armed for battle) broke up recently.

xCOCKPUNCHx is a Edge band I found on youtube.

I've been compiling various band lists from these posts, telling myself, "I'll look them up later." Before I knew it, the list had grown to over 400 bands! These are not all hardcore, or even straightedge bands, but just suggestions people have been given me over the past couple of years. Well, I finally just committed a few days of looking these bands up on playlist.com or YouTube, 2-3 songs each, preferably from different albums (i.e. geeking out). Hopefully I chose wisely. ;)

Absolute favorites include: Devil Wears Prada, Goldfinger, Verse, and The Soviettes

My list of likes:
7 seconds
aesop rock
AntiFlag

Black Flag
