I think the purpose is to continue to have a place for straightedge and hardcore to exist, to me that seems like a good purpose. Keeping that scene as a decent thing to be apart of in itself is no easy task, its all to easy to spread yourself to wide and try to encompass to much. I know that what attracted me to this scene was finding people who shared my outlook on things, most people don't have strong opinions on drugs or independant music that is totally expressive and kept independent so its great to see that people have kept that going strong.

Hardline is a rather misunderstood factor and certainly not something i personally ever wish to be associated with. Its definitely not something that would serve to allow straightedge to continue to be a postive scene.

Graffiti can be an awesome artistic expression, i mean when its done by someone talented. However i'm not to sure how it would relate to straightedge to much. I mean if there was a talented artist who chose to relay their personal feelings of straightedge through that medium then thats fair enough i guess but graffiti doesn't seem to be a popular past time with most hardcore kids. I think encouraging it would end up with badly painted slogans in inappropiate places that would make straightedge seem more like a troublesome gang than a positive group, not to mention that it would actively be asking kids to break the law unless you are talking about graffiti at a place that is permitted.

Basically i think putting on shows, putting out zines and geberally making a positive and forward thinking scene is a top goal and shouldn't be downplayed.

desire of changing - we just can't find them.

Mostly just flyers for Substance Free Youth (www.myspace.com/24sfy), which is affiliated with both straight edge and animal rights. We're relatively young as a "street team" but we already have members all across the USA and in Europe.
