How and why did minor threat claim straight edge?

Answer:
To say that Minor Threat "claimed edge" is a bit misleading, as straight edge didn't exist until they started singing about it. The term comes from their song "Straight Edge," released in 1981, which spoke out against drug use. Their 1983 song "Out Of Step" includes the lines "(I) Don't smoke / Don't drink / Don't f**k," which became the three principles of straight edge. Check the related links for more information.
