This is exactly what Ian McKay was talking about when he was in Minor Threat.
It’s funny you say that, because CM Punk only really brings up his straight edge lifestyle when he’s portraying a “heel” or a bad guy. That way he can get everyone to hate him by saying how he’s so much better than everyone else because he’s straight-edge. It works pretty well too, with all the beer-loving rednecks in the audience.
