AFI is an EMO band from that 90's that has recently started a side project where the lead vocalist and head guitar player formed a new band called XTRMST. For this band, they are labeling themselves a "Straight edge hardcore band". Being "straight-edged" means that there are restrictions on your daily life such as no drugs or alcohol, no sex or even possibly not eating meat. Usually being "hardcore" is the opposite of being straight edged and fans think it is a contradiction to call themselves a straight-edged hardcore band. Even with the name confusion, fans are happy that these band members will produce music that is more hardcore because previous albums have not lived up to the music usually produced by AFI.
