Straight Edge XXX Tattoo

[sxe+3.jpg] 

The history of  XXX  is well documented in punk music. Punk music originated in the late 1970's by The Ramones (a US band) and Sex Pistols (a UK band), no one is sure who started punk music but everyone knows it will never die. Punk music was not only a new sound but it was new lifestyle for youth that was tired of following the actions mainstream society had forced upon them. As rebellion grew in the punk community alcohol and drugs were commonplace. “At its conception, Straight Edge was a reaction to the self-destruction of punk rockers. Artists like Sid Vicious [Bassist of Sex Pistols], infamous for his fatal use of drugs and alcohol, stood for everything a straight punk would be against. Straight Edge provided the hardcore/punk scene an alternative to the calamitous ‘drunk punk' In essence, it became a counterculture within a counter-culture“
