That video clip was part of, or was supposed to be part of, a documentary on straight edge that the discovery channel put out. After watching it again (the video clip below) I realized that was probably some of the best footage they had because the kids in it mentioned straight edge as being a just another label for yourself, and that it wasn't all about being in a crew and fighting and moshing hard. And the best part was the kid sitting on the counter talking directly to the camera about the media blowing the movement out of proportion and making it seem like a horrible violent subculture to be in, and then the discovery channel goes and just cuts that part out. WTF?!
P.S. after I had watched that (part of it with my pops), my dad now thinks I'm part of a violent gang who wears hockey masks and dances like were fighting off invisible ninjas. Thanks discovery channel.
