What is the direct lifestyle?
The lifestyle of the straight edge, sometimes marked with the letter X or with number 24, describes a small segment of people in the larger punk rock culture, which had some contradictory ideas for most of the punk rock music. Depending on the extent, people practice the lifestyle of the direct edge, can be vegans or vegetarians, tend to avoid alcohol, drugs and promiscuous sex, and also cannot drink caffeined products. There is a considerable dispute over what should and should not be part of a direct lifestyle, and many people intensively discuss this topic. Others say that songs from the 1970s band The Modern Lovers, which are expected to have influenced punk rock music and theirseas, were influential. In most cases, however, be responsible for the beginnings of the direct edge with the 1980 tour from the punk rock band The Teen Isles, which was not old enough to drink and played in certain places that had bars.
In order to allow adolescents to adolescents in colors, especially in San Francisco Mabuhe Gardens, each band member was marked x on the back of one hand so that they were not served alcohol. Many people offered the same marking system to see local punk bands in small bars and places that served alcohol. Later bars and clubs used rubber stamps to mean whether the person participating in the concert was less or legally at the age of drinking.
The X brand has caught up as a symbol of the first lifestyle of the direct edge, which is sometimes called an old school. Interest in vegetarianism and interest in some religious concepts, such as concet in the faith of the hare of Krishna, captured others, while some people were mostly attracted to the ideas of direct edge due to the less environment filled with the drug offered. What represented a lifestyle was really different, and because many punk bands expressed the opposite thoughts of "sex, drugs and roCK and Roll ”, it can be called a direct marginal style in an anti -cultural element in a larger punk environment. There was a great tension between groups against" direct "housing and those who captured a more traditional approach with Rock and Roll.
When the movement took off, some people who were particularly criticized in punk culture were particularly criticized and were marked as "militant". This could mean open or this could mean narrow and limited from the perspective and reluctant to allow others to continue their lives as they considered appropriate. This also meant that violence sometimes accepted the arguments between people from direct life and others.
Thegroups in the first days that have attracted a crowd of straight edge include Teen Idles, a minor threat, a government problem and the cause of the alarm. The militant element reached the peak at the age of 90 with groups like judge, Bold and Youth today. Some bands also began to lean towards metal, unlike punk rock, with groups like Strife and Earth Crisis as examples.
by 2000 Most of the tension, which meant direct lifestyle and punk lifestyle, was evident. Perhaps it is partly due to the growing acceptance of thoughts such as vegetarianism. It is therefore common to see how straight edges and non -creeping marginal belts work together without having to devote themselves to hostility.
For those who are punk fans, Rockabilly Band X, which started playing at 70 years. They were not associated with direct lifestyle, and some band members openly admit that they were using drugs and/or alcohol. X was not considered as much hardcore punk as some of the bands that followed, and have been more known for several years than many bands with straight edges playing in larger places, often with the only introductory act of their choice.
