There is a thread about real emo on this board but its old.
I wonder if people like other hardcore though.

I was big into straight edge and still am (only mention it when talking music)

hell yeah.
straight edge was not really popular in my city. They were individuals that claimed it but there wasn't a "straight edge community" or a scene of bands.
I definitely love Minor Threat and just about anything on Dischord or Ebullition, but I'm definitely more of an emo listener than a straight edge listerner.
That being said, I can see the appeal of the straight edge lifestyle now that I'm older.
