Punk/hardcore bands who take an anti-drug stance (they typically object to people taking any kind of drugs, including prescription drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes) are called "straight edge." Some famous straight edge bands include: Minor Threat (who came up with the phrase "straight edge"), Down to Nothing, 7 Seconds, Youth of Today, Negative FX, Black My Heart, Gorilla Biscuits, Chain of Strength, etc., etc. See the Related Link below for more information on the Straight Edge movement and music.

Who influenced punk?

Punk was born because of a few reasons. 1- Punk was born out of the rebelion against the music scene of the time. Bands like the Ramones and the Sex Pistols hated the fact that bands like Simon and Garfunkel were considered rock n roll. 2- Punk bands also refused to dissconect themselves from their fans and sign with major record labels. That gave punk the raw sound that we have all come to know and love. 3- Alot of early punk was influenced by 60's garage bands. Also alot of punk bands grew up listening to bands like the stooges and the mc5 who were early forms of punk rock. 4- When the Ramones released their first album they influenced alot of punk bands. Many punk musicians taught themselves to play by listening to the Ramones, and that gave alot of punk bands their fast paced loud sound. Contributed by Punkrock Wrestling
