In California, Mackaye said it was used there first as a mark to draw attention to young people who could not legally drink, but still wanted to enjoy the live punk bands performing shows in bars. Soon after this origination in the West, Mackaye said the X traveled to Washington D.C. and was originally used for the same purpose.

This was ran at the national level, was also headed by the General Assembly. Many workers were able to join.
