Excuse me for jumping in here, but since you mentioned SXE bands, I just need to brag that I finally got my hands on the Uniform Choice CD "Screaming For Change" last night! DAMN!!! I forgot how much I LOVE this album!!!
I, personally, love most of the old SXE bands, though was never too fond of Youth Of Today, but they were KILLER live!
Sorry, you two please carry on... [img]redface.gif[/img]
What's an SXE band? Is that one of those bands that plays at the X games? [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]
Straight Edge is SXE. The straight edge folk put "X"'s on EVERYTHING! That what NOFX stands for: "No Fucking Straight Edge". [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]
Ahhh, thought it just meant they couldn't afford pedals, lol [img]redface.gif[/img]

I grew up listening to that music, but I just recently got back into the sXe lifestyle. Jonni is really the first one who really got me interested in the glam stuff. that's why I don't know much about the glam bands. the kids in TN are some angry youth, we couldn't handle the glam music, we needed hardcore stuff! [img]graemlins/devil.gif[/img] LOL if you lived in TN, you'd understand.

When I was a teen I was into the whole Straight Edge thing. But one of my friends back then, who liked every drug in the world, always used to say that the only reason people were straight edge was:
1. They didn't know where to buy the drugs
2. They couldn't get anybody to buy them alcohol or cigarettes
3. They were too ugly to get laid
I had a hard time arguing with him for the most part. My main reason was that I didn't like the possible future if I did drugs. I had a long line of alcoholism in my family, and my sister got pregnant at a fairly young age and it scared me.
But for the most part, I think he was dead on with the SXE crowd.
On a side note, I saw 7 Seconds in '91. After the show Steve Youth (bassist) came up to me to bum a smoke. I looked at him and said "but Steve, you're supposed to be straight edge!". He laughed at me and said "Yeah, but I grew up". Kind of funny. [img]graemlins/snail.gif[/img]
interesting concept.
