Minor Threat was a straight edge hardcore band. Straight Edge means you cannot smoke, drink, have promiscuous sex or do drugs. Although Minor Threat is known mainly due to this they should be better remembered for what they were and still are: a kick ass hardcore band. They are awesome and if you have never heard Minor Threat then you should take the time to listen to them. Minor Threat formed in November of 1980. Ian MacKaye on vocals, Brian Baker on bass, Lyle Preslar on guitar and Jeff Nelson on drums. In September 1981, Minor Threat broke up when Lyle decided to go to college. During this time, Ian and Jeff started a new band called Skewbald/Grand Union, who also kicked ass. This band broke up when Minor Threat reformed in April 1982. Minor Threat broke up for good in 1983. Minor Threat also changed the world with the Straight Edge movement which has affected thousands of kids all over the world. They are also the band that got me into hardcore punk.
