Was anyone into NY Str8 -Edge hardcore 87-91?

Lot of great music form the straight edge bands of the mid-late eighties. Minor Threat set the bar pretty high for everyone else during that time. I was not real familiar with the NYC bands of that time, I'm a life time bay area guy. The really good bands from our neck of the woods then were Capitol Punishment, 7 Seconds, Blast, The Mr. T Experience, Bulimia Banquet, etc..

Originally straight edge was super cool. I appreciated the sincerity of those bands and times. After a while straight edge sort of became a cliche'. Lots of high school girls posing with their magic marker x's on their hands but not really getting the whole idea.
