Straight edge is a subculture and subgenre of hardcore punk whose adherents refrain from using alcohol tobacco and other recreational drugs. It was a direct reaction to the sexual revolution hedonism and excess associated with punk rock. For some this extends to not engaging in promiscuous sex following a vegetarian or vegan diet and not using caffeine or prescription drugs.
