NEW ANNO BIBB

Americ Hardcore. Dir. Paul Rachman. AHC Productions LLC, 2006. DVD.

 -Traces the birth and growth or hardcore and straightedge in some serious detail. Talks about major influential bands and people in the movement.

Boston Beatdown. Dir. Elgin James. 1998. DVD

 -Really shows the minority in the hardcore scene. Most kids aren’t violent or active in a gang. Just like vol 2 it has heavy hitting examples but not the most typical.

 Boston Beatdown, Vol. 2. Perf. Blood for Blood, Death Before Dishonor. Crosscheck Records, 2004. DVD.

-Shows crazy violence at shows and after shows. Maybe that’s what hardcore and straight edge is like in Boston, but I don’t believe it’s like that everywhere. Definitely heavy hitting examples but maybe not the most fair or true to life.

 Blush, Steven. “American Hardcore; A Tribal History.” Feral House. 2001

 -I’m not sure if this book is related to the movie at all, but they both do basically the same thing and set up a really detailed history of how hardcore, and by extension, straight edge were created.

 Haenfler, Ross. “Straight Edge: Hardcore Punk, Clean Living Youth, and Social Change” Rutgers University Press. 2006.

Wood, Robert T. “Straightedge Youth: Complexity And Contradictions of a Subculture.” Syracuse University Press. 2006.

 -Explains in great detail what exactly straight edge is, and how straight edge effects different parts of edgers lives.

 -A book review of Ross haenfler’s book “straight edge; hardcore punk, clean living youth, and social change”. It pretty short but offers a quick over few of the entire book. Shows key points.

. -Examines how the religious affiliations that a kid learns from his or her parents effect whether or not the kid drinks. Will be handy when looking at what different things influence a kid claiming sxe.
