theres nothing wrong with not favoring drinking and drugs. but claiming your a straightedge and using it to define yourself is stupid

people that do drink do that too. I got alot of shit in high school that was unprovoked because I didn't drink. Just happens pal, no matter what affiliation you're talking about.

a lot more people claim that they are hard core badasses than claim straightedge. i think you hear a lot more about people who claim straightedge because they always have to defend themselves against the fags that only talk about getting drunk or high all the time and challenge straightedge kids for doing what they want. I think that people in college seem to be more mature about it. everyone just does what they want and kind of minds their own business.

correct, end of argument basically. there is no reason to say your straightedge unless you are trying to show that you are better than everyone.

I havea cousin who is seriously straightedge and she shows it out of pride and uses it to counteract people who only talk about getting drunk and doing drugs.

In Seattle, the mayor made the straightedge community a gang, in legal terms, because so many people were getting beat up for not being edge. It's nuts.

slc is notorious for militant sxe crews. im not suprised they didnt send him to the hospital. but seriously a lot of sxe kids just claim edge so that they can feel accepted by other sxe kids. most of them are just claimers and will break edge in a months time. my ex gf claimed edge and vegetarian so she could get with this guy then she fucked him and became an alcoholic...again.

whenever anybody tells me theyre sxe i get skeptical. hmmmm really your claiming an entire image and mindset that other people are going to judge you on that supposedly represents a decision that you make for yourself and nobody else??

In Vancouver no one cares, neither does most people in seattle, so I don't know what was happenign at champion shows you saw.



Most kids who "claim" edge don't put x's on their wrists you numbnuts. Not to mention I've never seen anyone get beat up for not being edge EVER. Chances are if you are smoking weed, drinking, or smoking cigarettes in a venue you will get in shit. BECAUSE OF LIABILITY, alot of minors go to hardcore shows and they lose venues if people are doing drugs there.



Fights happen at any show of any kind. I've NEVER gotten in a fight at a hardcore, punk, or metal show before. I see more at hip hop shows

Straightedge people get tatoos? ROFL, thats gay as fuck.  Such a hippocritacal thing to do, they wont "poison" their body, but ink into their skin doesnt count?

It's different reasons for different people buddy, some are edge because people in their family died, or were hurt by drugs, some because its being taken advantage of by drug and alcohol manufacturerers(sp?). Perhaps for some people it just "isn't" their thing.



As for having good friends who don't drink or do drugs, there is sometimes need to claim "edge". At parties (yes edge kids go clubbing and to partys) people WILL question and try and force you to drink or do drugs. It is just easier for them to say, no im edge.

the only fights i see is when hardcore kids mix with metal heads
the whole straight edge thing is just something you have to accept...
real straight edge "kids" are actually like 26 years old and very intelligent...

just let kids do what they wana do and if you get harrassed..settle it and forget about it

Not to mention, I know a dude who is like 23 and broke edge (huge tattoo on his leg too), and his friends don't hate him, they make jokes, but they are still his friends.


Go to an ACTUAL hardcore show and all the kids tend to be really nice and accepting.

i dont drink or smoke weed. ive got reasons that would take to long to explain. tobacco smells bad. im straitedge, and theres i good chance it wont be that way forever. but right now, i like the way things are going for me and i have fun at parties without and mind-alteration.

and im definately not getting any straitedge tatoos until im AT LEAST 21. im 17 now, so ive got awhile to maintain...

i used to be straight edge, i really dont wanna get into this and i dont wanna type. n e ways some of the people i knew claimed it because they kinda needed the reminder why they are doing it and they claimed it to show that they are standing up for how they feel.

Whoah that definition sucks.


I don't think I've ever met an edge kid who DIDN'T drink caffeinated drinks (excluding people who don't for reasons such as insomnia or low tolerance).


Also alot of edge kids are christian,



Wikipedia fucking sucks
