Straight edge
 

Straight edge ... what‘s with this?
... It was a Henry Rollins line once right now it’s a movement!
We don’t get this in the UK, what bands are straight edge and what’s the culture like, is it just hardcore new punk bands?

i would like to add it varies from person to person

i first heard about this not too long ago mayb about a yr ago and i was like that sounds so much like me and as i said a persons definiton of straight edge varies from person to person.

i hoped i helped u out a little feral cat

Its a very popular thing to say right now, personally i think its meaningless. If your not gonna do something based on morals or whatnot, just dont do it, i dont see the need to belong to a "movement" about it.

If you are GOING to do drugs, you dont go around saying you belong to some movement or whatnot, no offense to anyone here that may be into this, but i dont understand it. I dont understand why you have to find a community of support and conformity just to make good decisions.....

i like crooked edges,...., im so lame \\m//

Wham! Just like that, you go and sum it up perfectly. I couldn't have said it better myself. ;)

When someone refers to themselves as 'straight-edge,' they're really just hazarding yet another desperate attempt to capture some semblance of popularity. Anti-this, anti-that, pro-whatever... the only stance I have on any of these social lubricant issues is "pro-nobody gives a rippin' shit, so quit trying to sell it to us."

Do it for yourself and not for some sheep that need a banner to crowd behind because their parents never made them feel important. And it does sound like you've got the right idea Bloodygurl.

no offence to arioch but i think soul eater said what i could not put into words

I hate straight edge fuckers.I had a friend who was smoking outside of the mall here and he got jumped by a whole group of them.They beat the ever-loving shit out of him,just because he was smoking........outside!

hahaha that used to happen to me but not because i was smoking it was because i lived in howell mi (like the kkk capitol of the world because the red dragon lived there) and the wannabe nazi skins heads and red necks that used to love to beat up lonely punks. but when we would get together we would jump them every chance we had.

Hell yeah,thats a little peice of justice.I'd love to be with a group of my friends and catch a strait edger all alone.

hay Sistinas lets make our own anti-strait edge movement
