I might be an adult, but I'm a minor at heart

The time is so little, the time belongs to us 'Cause I know we're all heading for that adult crash ' We're no the first, I hope we're not the last Because of that, I'm sticking the complete lyrics belowâ¦ Lyrically, this is probably the best offered by him. It is very easy to identify with what MacKaye is saying here. The song is an anthem for the young at heart.

Minor Threat's self-titled track is definitely one of theirs that I like the most. Fighting, drunk or sober, is a waste of one's energy, and MacKaye does a good job of pointing this out, all while giving another reason for his straight edge lifestyle. In other words, people who get drunk and start fights. 'Bottled Violence' is about people who drink, and while I may do this the song goes further, talking about those who 'get their bravery from a half-pint'. I'm sure you all know people like this, I know I do.Īgain we have a song that may seem to conflict with me personally, yet, again, this isn't the case. Such behavior is known as 'small man's complex'. The next notable song, 'Small Man, Big Mouth', is aboutâ¦ small men with big mouths people who try to make up for their lack in stature with aggressive behavior. That being said, this is a good song and the lyrics, some of which I quoted just above, are really great. It is a shame that people pervert the message some segregate themselves, while others justify violence against those who aren't straight edge. I know the message is a positive one, not an attack on people in the scene who don't follow the suggestions in the song. I'm not straight edge, but at the same time I don't 'snort white shit up my nose' or 'pass out at all the shows'. 'Straight Edge' is, of course, the anthem of the Straight Edge movement. anyone who doesn't wear Abercrombie & Fitch or the latest urban trends) can identify with. Next we have 'Seeing Red', which is about people looking down at you, something that most anyone who looks a bit different from the 'norm' (i.e. 'I Don't Wanna Hear It' is a song aboutâ¦ hmm, not wanting to hear it? Don't believe me? Well, go ahead and read some of the lyrics. The singing is MacKaye at his best however, it is the lyrics that stick out the most. 'Filler' happens to be my favorite Minor Threat song. I don't feel like going over every track, so I'll be going over the ones I feel stick out the most. At any rate, I bought it from my dad, along with NOFX's 'Liberal Animation' and Rocket From The Crypt's 'RFTC', for fifteen bucks. I am a cheap bastard and I never found a copy in the used bin). Because of all this, it makes me scratch my head thinking why I just now got this album (OK, there is no mystery. Members of Minor Threat went on to countless other bands, most notable being Ian MacKaye in Fugazi, and Brian Baker playing guitar in both Dag Nasty and Bad Religion. They had a sound that was raw, yet creative and overly appealing-something only a few percent of hardcore bands are able to accomplish. They coined the term ' straight edge' and birthed the movement of the same name. In that, this isn't just a review of an album, it is a review of a band a band that was one of the most prominent and influential hardcore bands of the 80's. ' Complete Discography', as the title would insinuate, is the complete collection of Minor Threat's discography.
