Minor Threat was an American hardcore punk band that formed in Washington DC in 1980 and disbanded in 1983. While Minor Threat was short-lived, it had a strong influence on the hardcore punk music scene in the United States. Minor Threat's song "Straight Edge" was the basis for the straight edge movement, though the band has had no involvement with the movement itself.[1] Critics have called Minor Threat's music "iconic,"[2] and have noted that their "groundbreaking" music "has held up better than [that of] most of their contemporaries."[3]
Along with the fellow Washington DC hardcore band Bad Brains, Minor Threat set the standard for many hardcore punk bands in the 1980s and 1990s. They produced short, often astonishingly fast songs, eventually with high production quality, which at the time was lacking in most punk and alternative rock. All of Minor Threat's records were released on the band's own Dischord Records label.

Minor Threat was an awesome band i feel bad for Ian though cause the straight edge movement went outta control and then with Fugazi he coined the term emo and look what happened with that shit. Fukkin great music though rock stripped down to its rawest purest form.
