Back in the eighties, large groups of skinheads began using punk rock to promote violent racism and bigotry, ideological tenets antithetical to the ones that inspired punk in the first place. Meanwhile, some of the less motivated punks just wanted to sit around drinking beer and getting high. The straight-edge scene demanded clean living and tolerance, and soon numerous punk bands began preaching the gospel of intelligence, sobriety, and racial equality. The movement's fight for intelligence in punk rock was led on the East Coast by D.C.'s legendary Minor Threat and on the West Coast by Reno, Nevada's 7 Seconds.
