Read STRAIGHT EDGE: A Clear-Headed Hardcore Punk History, by Tony Rettman (Bazillion Points, 2017), and see if you agree with these guys:

"Tony Rettman's book is the choice for a firsthand account of the history, inner workings, and real truth of straight edge, one of the most important cultural influences of the last century. Straight edge kicked down the walls, and opened the doors to music and choices that formed a new core of cool. This book ensures that legacy continues."—Al Barile, S.S. Decontrol

“Fxcking loved it!!! A great book. Tony Rettman did it once again.”—Mike Ferraro, Judge

“This book accurately recalls a counterculture within a counterculture, a movement that changed the course of so many people’s lives, including my own. A crucial and authoritative glance into that world, shining light for fans around the globe on a time that we will never forget.”—Ray Cappo, Youth of Today

“What separates hardcore from punk is that punk was just saying, ‘fuck this place.’ Hardcore was saying, ‘let’s make a difference. Let’s make our minds stronger and focus.’”—Toby Morse, H2O

“We were out to create a revolution. We loved the power and energy of hardcore, but not the whole self-destructive punk ethos. We were into being healthy and living clean, mean, and smart.”­—John Porcelly, Youth of Today
