Felt like they were on the rage as I was finishing high school, but now they’re nowhere to be seen.

I’d wager most of you haven’t even heard the term ‘straight-edge’ in months, or possibly years.

    That’s wild. I lived there during that timeframe and I have never seen the tattoo, neither even heard of those metalheads.

    Maybe it was a regional thing? I mean in Sweden.

      It was an international thing but there was a very big sXe scene in Umeå. If you’re into 1990s punk and hardcore you may be familiar with Refused.

        Södra Sverige och metal 🎶 vilket kanske förklarar det.

          Jag växte upp i Stockholm och där var det straight edgare på konserter.
