... 2stepfan wouldn't be forced to stay round my gaff tonight and listen to a steady diet of the butthole surfers, blaggers ita, snuff and crucial youth.

:cool:

all of whom, apart from the blaggers are way better than the clash (although they're probably not as good inventors*, obv)








*the youth brush excepted

I'd have maybe liked USHC more if the bands hadn't worn shorts and spent every bloody eight-track 7" calling each others' "scene credentials" bullshit / complaining about 'scene' hypocrisy or bragging about not drinking or fucking. Or doing songs about the KKK called "Hate Sucks!"

Mind you, Middle Class were OK.

I like them. And the Adolescents. Mind you, I also like the Descendents who seem to have formed to celebrate the twin pleasures of flatulence and Pepsi drinking.

If The Dicks count I absolutely adore them.

7 Seconds, Dag Nasty, The Vandals et al can jump in the sea as far as I'm concerned.

Actually, Minor Threat ARE good if you think about it. I wouldn't want to go to the pub with them though.

that reminds of some NYHC band whose name escapes me whose lyrics went:

"i'm not in a straight edge band, i don't wear Xs on my hands...[i can drink a couple of beers]... as you get older, you learn moderation"

fucking terrible

Straight Edge has to be the stupidest subculture ever. Mind you, it fits in very well with the music: I think if I never ate meat, cheese, fish, chocolate or ice-cream, never drank alcohol, tea or coffee, never smoked or took drugs and never had sex, I'd probably want to listen to music that goes "AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!", as well.

Didn't Crucial Youth have a song about the four food groups and also one about not swearing and giving up your seat for grannies on the bus?

Losers.

don't forget 'cross at the green not in-between' or 'be kind, rewind'

Ahaha. They sound like Ned Flanders's favourite band. :)

So the only options are to be a pleasure-hating puritan, or a perma-pissed fuckhead? :slanted:

well, i'm not going to get into a discussion about the merits or otherwise of SxEx, as i am not, but it seems a fairly radical position, given society's norms
