Straight Edge is gay, yes.
However, the first Minor threat EP
is a milestone.
Just musically speaking, Minor Threat was pretty awesome and they didn't overstay their welcome either. But the straight edge thing eventually ruined hardcore. In the late 80s those Youth Crew bands, all patterned after the DC straight edge scene, took over and shows just became ridiculous spectacles of stupid conformity and mindless violence. The non-straight bands all tried to either go speed metal or alternative, then the whole thing just kind of petered out, as no one wanted to book shows where brainless jock types beat the hell out of everyone else.
shout out to the real deal niggers who listened to first four years more than damaged
As good as I thought "Damaged" was, everything that came before it was better. The rest of those Rollins-era Black Flag albums are largely terrible.
