1. (Straight Edge) (5086↑, 1637↓)
Originated from the punkrock/hardcore scene. The philosophy/life-choice that humans should have strength, pride, dignity, honor, and self respect; that they shouldn't engage in activities that are a disgrace to their minds and bodies. (such as ingesting and/or becoming addicted to harmful substances for fun, lying and/or being two-faced, and sharing your body sexually with another person when there isn't even a true emotional bond there)

I'm straight edge you fuck, so no I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs.

2. (straight edge) (4167↑, 1178↓)
A board, or piece of wood or metal, having one edge perfectly straight, used to ascertain whether a line is straight or a surface even, and for drawing straight lines.

"Are you straight edge?" "Did you just call me a fucking ruler?"

Straight edge is basically living a clean life without drugs, drinking and casual sex. It's living a poison free and keeping yourself safe. It is a choice and it does not make you better or worse than anyone. We all make choices and some choose to be straight edge and some don't. Yes, it's true that some people will stop being sXe when they turn 21 but that is just another choice. Straight Edge is a way of life but has now been formed into a trend. Out there, there are true edgers.

1)no drugs 2)no alcohol 3)no promiscuous sex 4) Yes, we do have fun

4. (straight edge) (1948↑, 681↓)
If you're really straight edge, you don't need to go telling everyone about it, it's something you do for YOURSELF. 99% of the morons with X's on their hands are posers/scenesters obsessed with [fashioncore].

Example: A lot of the girls on the "girls gone wild" commercials have big black X's on their hand but they're taking off their clothes for cash. How is that respecting their bodies?

5. (straight edge) (1015↑, 342↓)
The term originates from a song by "Minor Threat" putting forth the value of a clear mind and a healthy body. Times as they are, there are now three kinds of sXe'rs. 1. Those who understand what it means. People who value clarity and wish to avoid altered states of perception, poisoning the body, or unsettling the mind. No drugs, some even avoid medicinal drugs as these can alter state of mind. No drinking to excess, as this can alter the mind and poison the body. No promiscuous sex, you got me on this one. These people are, 99% of the time, decent people who see their choices for what they are, choices, nothing more, nothing less. 2. Insecure gits. People who wish to place themselves on a self appointedly superior moral platform, then proceed to brag about how much better they are than everyone else. No drugs. No drink. No Promiscuous sex. No meat. No/very few friends, as few other than those who share their views can stand to be around them for more than ten minutes without driving a lit candle, wick first, into their eye, and injecting them with lighter fluid through the ear. 3. Hardliners. All the stupidity of number two, with knuckledusters. No drugs. No drink. No promiscuous sex. No meat 9 times out of ten. All the clarity with none of the intelligence.

1. I chose not to do drugs, you chose otherwise. *shrugs* 2. Stop poisoning my air you arrogant ignorant smokers\! 3. *thwap*

6. (Straight Edge) (1297↑, 672↓)
X No drugs, X no alocohol, and X no casual seX

Im not straight edge to be different. Im straight edge because I know its right. Why do I want to get fucked up and forget all the shit that I did that night? No thanks, I want to enjoy my life by remembering it. Think for yourself.

7. (straight edge) (685↑, 441↓)
straight edge (sXe)consists of the 3 X's X- no recreational drug use (includes caffeine- which is a stimulant drug; some will accept drugs such as codeine or morphine for medicinal purposes) X- no alcohol (some go as far as no Ny-Quil or Day-Quil because they include alcohol) X- no casual (it doesn't mean abstinence, it means that you won't have one-night stands, but will wait until you are in a commited relationship to have sex.) People have associated sXe as gang affiliation, but it is a way of life such as vegetarianism or celebasy. it is a way of life that consists of not poisoning your body with ignorance and sustaining a healthy lifestyle.

i am straight edge and for all the people who think it is the "popular" thing to do, you're wrong, and should accept it as a good thing because atleast there will be a few less drug-addicts, alcoholics, or AIDS carriers coming to a town near you\!\!\!\!

8. (Straight Edge) (212↑, 67↓)
As said previously, this is an idea mainly thought to be coined by Minor Threat (thus being an offshoot of punk/hardcore). Their song Straight Edge outlines their lifestyle that they choose to live... I've been told it was their drummer who was using a ruler to draw a poster and noted that the ruler's straight edge was a metaphor for their lifestyles... The basic outline of straight edge is, as said before, not wanting to or taking part in: Drinking (or any mind effecting drugs) Smoking Casual sex (without a loving relationship) This is just a simple guideline of what the LIFESTYLE of an edge person is. It can be built upon with vegan/vegetarianism, no caffeine and other choices that keep your body poison free. An X can be worn on the hands of people who are edge, along with stating poison free, straight edge can be abbreviated to sXe. The X on the hand is because at punk/hardcore gigs, an X was drawn on the hands of minors so that they would not get served at the bar. With this movement people started putting Xs on their hands to show that they did not want to drink. The idea of straight edge is not to poison the mind and body with anything that is bad for it, this, to me includes being a general bastard to people… For me its being the best person you can be. We are not boring people, I choose not to drink, it doesn't mean I can’t have fun, or go to parties, I just have fun while knowing what I’m doing and remembering. Straight edge should unite people and not turn into a gang who discriminate against people who do poison their bodies... It's their choice, let them live with it, I don’t look down on people who aren’t edge.

Two good examples are: Davey Havok (AFI) Justin Sane (Anti-flag) ... These guys are modern day saints in my opinion non sXe: do you want a drink/joint/smoke/one night stand… etc.? sXe: No thanks, I don’t want to do that (Straight edge is not a reason not to drink, smoke etc. A straight edge person will have their own reasons; straight edge is just a way of showing their lifestyle.)

9. (straight edge) (182↑, 45↓)
Straight Edge is basically a way of life that includes no drinking, no drugs, and so casual sex. Abbreviated SxE. It is not a religion or a gang. It is a choice that someone makes. However, not everyone who doesnt drink/do drugs/have casual sex is straight edge, and not all that say they are straight edge, are straight edge. People who are SxE might put black x's on their hands. yes, you can be friends with people who do these things. There are a few types of straight edge kids. ex. The true SxE kid - does not drink, does not have casual sex, and does not do drugs. Also, does not go around telling everyone he meets right away that he is SxE, when the time comes to bring it up, he does tell. Does not think himself better than others becasue he does not drink or do drungs or not have sex. Does not beat people up for smoking or drinking. Asshole SxE kid - Abides by the 3 rules of SxE, but goes around thinking he is better than everyone, puts people down for it, and basically bugs the fuck out of people. Scene/Fashioncore SxE Kid - Wears x's on his hands all the time, and wears a bandana around his mouth and nose all the time, usually has died black hair. Most of these kids are not actually SxE, hell, most of them dont even know the true meaning or SxE but say they are to get friends/be cool/fit in. They are the SxE trend kids, and give True SxE'rs a bad name. Becasue of these kids, most kids just think being SxE is wearing black x's and bandanas around your face. Hardliner - Super SxE kids that usually are vegan, wont take drugs even for severe pain, drink caffeine, or do anything like that. There most defining trait ,however, is the fact that they beat the living shit out of people for smoking, drinking or doing drugs. They might see someone doing one of these things, not bothing them at all, get a bunch of their friends, and beat the shit out of one person with somewhere between 2-? people. These people sometimes kill the people they attack. They are the biggest threat to true SxE people. A lot of cops and other uninformed people, becasue of hardliners, believe SxE people to be a gang, and believe ever SxE kid will beat the shit out of someone smoking or drinking or something like that. They are hated by most SxE kids.

True Straight edge kid (when asked about drinking/drugs/sex) - "yeah, i dont do drugs, drink, or have casual sex. You do? ok, your choice man." Asshole stright edge kid - Yeah im SxE and im fuckin better than you becasue of it, i dont poison myself and you do, your fuckin stupid as hell, i hate you all, go fucking burn yourself" Scene/Fashioncore kid - (Wearing black x's on his hands and a black bandana over his face and his long died black hair) Yeah, Grr im SxE, im cool, wanna be my friend, im SxE, cmon im SxE you gotta like me, im cool." might also say that while drinking or smoking. Hardliner (sees someone drinking or smoking, not bothering anyone, no one is in their range of 2nd hand smoke) *goes and gets somewhere from usually 1 to 10 more hardliners then beats the hell out of the person drinking or smoking, some with brass knuckles or baseball bats* The beat up kid usually has to go to the hospital, and sometimes even dies

Straight Edge is NOT something to do just because everyone else is doing it... Straight Edge is a lifestyle. You live the sraight edge way: XNo smoking XNo Drugs XNo alochol XNo casual sex you do not have to be a certian "label" to be straight edge\!

No drinking, no casual sex, no smoking, no drugs... just have fun being Straight Edge\!

11. (Straight Edge) (86↑, 21↓)
This covers a broad range of people, all of whom voluntarily choose not to take drugs, drink or engage in promiscuous sexual behavior. Other options include abstaining from caffeine, meat, etc. There are a few kinds of sXe'rs in my opinion. 1) Committed people honestly dedicated to keeping their body clean of all toxins for life. While I couldn't live your extremely pure lifestyle, I fully respect your choice to do so, more power to you. 2) Scenester kids who think because sXe is underground it automatically becomes "cool" and start wearing bandannas and the "X" on their hands. Even though I'm not sXe personally, speaking on behalf of friends who are, when you don't make a commitment to the philosophy, you just seem foolish. 3) Hardliners, the people who follow the philosophy to the letter, but more importantly will engage in mass ass-kicking of anyone who doesn't. Now, here's where my disagreement comes into play towards the hardliners. If you want to stay pure as possible, good for you, but for you to harass or assault anyone having a beer responsibly or eating a hamburger for pete's sake, you're a fucking idiot. Case closed. 4) Elitists, the people who honestly believe that because they are sXe, they are automatically better than people who aren't. Listen up elitist fools, (and especially the one who called me evil this past weekend for having 1 beer at a restaurant) whether you want to believe it or not, you're human just as we all are, and just because you keep yourself pure does NOT make you "better" than other people. Real sXe'rs dislike you because your high and mighty attitude discredits their philosophy, as well they should.

Real sXer: "I don't drink, smoke or take drugs." Scenester: "sXe is cool, yeah\!" Hardliner: "How dare you drink a beer\! I'll kick your ass\!" Elitist: "Being straight edge means I'm better than you\!"

You one day wake up to the realisation that the world around you has nothing more to offer, and the only way to achive something is to have a clear mind, a clear life, a target....you are straight edge

no drugs no promiscuous sex no alcohol clear mind

13. (straight edge) (105↑, 44↓)
to have a lifestyle philosophy of no alcohol, no drugs, and no (promiscuous) sex

Most rock stars are definitely NOT straight edge.

14. (straight edge) (56↑, 33↓)
Straight Edge is a personal choice that is not meant to be a joking matter. It is an oath that someone may make to themselves to not participate in recreational drug use, smoke, consume alcohol, or have promiscious sex. I think a true straight edge does it for themselves and doesn't ridicule others for not believing in the same view of this lifestyle.

waitress at the show: You wanna drink? Heather: No, I'm straight edge so please don't ask anymore.

15. (straight edge) (42↑, 21↓)
A person who does not consume alcohol, do drugs of any kind (even marijuana), smoke cigarettes, etc. They live a lifestyle and have a mentality of pride in their and other's courage not to do these mostly harmful activities. Typically, kids who chose to be straight edge are associated with the "hardcore scene" and X or XXX symbols. However, many people who chose the straight edge lifestyle do not write X's on their hands and show it off, or any of the annoying crap associated with straight edge.

Me: I'm so glad we're straight edge. Ethan: Me too, I think drugs and all of that stuff is fucking stupid to do. Getting wasted for a good time is lame. Me: Yep. But let's not do that annoying XXX shit. Ethan: Okay, cool.

16. (Straight Edge) (111↑, 89↓)
Branched off of a song by minor threat. Wasn't purposely created. Straight Edge is not a set of rules, nor a movement. It is an anti-stupidity, anti-obsession, pro-positive, pro-alertness thinking idea. Some kids took it too far and now it is tagged with a gang or elitist mentality.

"sXe"

17. (Straight Edge) (37↑, 16↓)
Okay, wow. I'm really sick of all the people who are saying people that are sXe are pussies. Okay, no. Being sXe means following the three X's: no drugs (X), no drinking (X), and no casual sex (X). Basically, being healthy. It's about respecting yourself and being strong enough not to need drugs and alcohol to make life fun. Some sXe people choose to be vegetarian, vegan, etc. but it's not necessary by any means. Others also choose to avoid drugs (medicines), although that kind of negates the whole "being healthy" thing. Real sXe people will not condemn others for not being sXe. They also won't announce to everyone in the fucking world that they're sXe - it's a personal choice and it should remain private. Some people choose to show that they're sXe by having X's on their hands, and that's fine too. Just another personal choice. Contrary to popular belief, it has nothing to do with religion, cursing or the scene. It may have originated in the punk scene, but it has spread out and away from it - not every sXe person is punk, emo, etc. Please refrain from being ignorant and keep an open mind.

I'm sXe (straight edge) but I'm an Atheist, I swear and I'm not a fucking punk. What do you think about THAT?

18. (Straight Edge) (53↑, 36↓)
(n.) Straiht edge is the term coined by Ian MacKaye (lead singer of the early 80's punk band 'Minor Threat'). To 'have the straight edge' one must hold a great responsibility for his/her actions and most commonly not get involved with casual sex, drinking, smoking, or any other substances (living a drug free life) some straight edgers even go vegan (or become vegetarians) being straight is just more of a philosophy on life; a religion focusing on strength, self-preservation, and self-respect, some may call it. unfortunately, many people are beginning to see the straight edge as the popular thing to do and is now, more than ever, just a trend

1) Ive got the straight edge\! 2) sXe, XXX

19. (straight edge) (22↑, 6↓)
1) The abstention from drinking, smoking, all the usual vices, in order to retain purity etc etc etc. 2) A lifestyle choice, followed from the moment one makes the life-changing decision, to the day they die. These followers of straight edge are the ones that command respect or at least acknowledgement for their choice. 3) The latest craze for all the really cool kids who think that by doing it, they transcend coolness itself into a realm that only enlightened ones can reach. They do this all just by painting Xs on their hands and not talking to anyone with un-painted hands. 4) A cool way of denying that you physically can't drink or smoke etc because you're too young.

1) Straight edge. Very noble and respectable when followed properly. 2) "That guy over there? He's straight edge, but he won't shove that fact in your face, 'cause he realises that it's his own choice. He's committed too, so all respect to him\!" 3) "That guy over there? He's straight edge... though you can probably already tell that by either the sense of smug self-satisfaction written all over him, or by his thousand little ways of showing you that he's straight edge. He doesn't have a clue\!" 4) "That guy over there? He's straight edge. He doesn't drink, smoke, do drugs or have sex. He doesn't even masturbate. He's 14... But by god is he straight edge\!"

20. (straight edge) (101↑, 85↓)
A lifestyle choice in which a person abstains from use of alcohol, drugs, smoking, and in most cases, promiscuous sex. The philosophy being that this lifestyle is more healthy. I have to agree.

Everyone in that punk rock band is straight edge\! That must be why they sound so good\!

21. (straight edge) (36↑, 21↓)
A philosophy begun by [Ian McKaye] and the [Minor Threat] boys in the days of yore. Abbreviated sXe. It started out just no drinking, drugs, or smokes, then the philosophy was distorted into including veganism and no casual sex. Still not a terrible thing, until hypocrites in Utah decided "hey, this would make a good gang\!" and totally raped the whole idea. Because, you know, it was meant to DECREASE violence and death. Not beat the shit out of the poor faggot caught with a beer in his hand. so... good example of straight edge: Davey Havok or Justin Sane, basically anyone adhering to the original concept bad example: Salt Lake City assholes killing hobos with cigarettes in their mouths

sXe used to be cool, then Utah bastards killed it.

22. (straight edge) (79↑, 64↓)
1. The state of abstaining from illegal drugs, booze, tobacco and premiscous sex (last is up for debate). Started with Minor Threat. 2. A cornerstone of the Hardcore music scene (hXc) where the gang mentality and that smug "I'm Better Than You" attitude dominates a good amount of edgers. A good thing until scenesters fucked it up.

1. Nah, I don't want any. I'm straight edge. 2. Fuck off, I don't poison my body with that shit (sucker punches the guy).

23. (straight edge) (85↑, 73↓)
People of all ages, not just kids or adults, who have chosen to not poison they're bodies for fun, or for anyreason, it's basic rules are No drugs, no Alcohol, and no Sex with out feelings for the other person, it is not a fad, or a way to fit in, it is a life style, usually one picked from having a traumatizing experience with drugs, like Abusive parents. Not all straight edgers use violence to show their beliefs, thos who do are refered to as Hardliners, and are Looked down upon even by most Straight Edger, for giving them a bad name.

I dont poison my body, i am straight edge, im not an abusive jerk and am not trying to preach anything, i definatly dont think im better than anyone.

24. (Straight Edge) (88↑, 78↓)
Neo-ascetism Lite. Not inherently a bad thing, though it can be said that abstaining from drugs, alcohol and sex does deny many experiences, both good and bad, it is, however, used frequently to grab the moral high ground so that one may look down on those who choose to indulge in such terrible, despicable, and ungodly vices. See: The Junior Anti-Sex League, circa 1984

Erf... I can't conjure up a good enough example.

Beliefs ushered in through the lyrics and then-beliefs of Ian Mackaye (Teen Idles, Minor Threat era). Although he exclaims fervently that he did not mean to start a movement, and defended himself in the second version of "Out of Step", it did spark a movement. Basic Beliefs: No drinking No smoking No promiscuous sex Newer Innovations: Atheism - idea of "think don't pray" Veganism / Vegetarianism Exemption from Painkillers, Caffine etc. Hardline Ethic Symbols: xXx - supposedly for each of the main beliefs sXe - straight edge abbreviation X on the hands - typically seen at shows x *lame screename* x - seen in every aim window Types of Edge Kids: 1) The one who knows straight edge is a personal lifestyle and keeps his beliefs to himself 2) Pseudo edge kid, who puts x's on his hands at every show, goes vegan, and sells out the following month 3) Hardline kid - tries to force edge on others, just a meathead who has no idea of the positive nature straight edge is supposed to be Edge Bands: Gorilla Biscuits Chain of Strength Judge Strife Earth Crisis xLimpwristx Champion Have Heart Allegiance Carry On

"I was reliving all those times we shared, and it's hard, because you used to be so strong but time has changed you. You turned away. I keep trying to escape from the past. But those days used to mean so much. We stood side by side and nothing else mattered. We were straight edge and at least I still am." Excerpt from "The Decline" by Champion

27. (straight edge) (28↑, 19↓)
The term was coined by the late D.C. [punk]/[hardcore] band Minor Threat, who promoted, through their lyrics, a lifestyle free of drugs, alcohol and casual sex. Ian Mackaye, the band's lead, claimed not to have started a movement, however, in today's underground(or not-so-underground) societies of [punk] and [hardcore], it has become a full-on label. One who claims "the edge" does not participate in "poisoning" their bodies. No drugs, no alcohol, no casual sex(and others will include [veganism], abstaining from medications, even so far as caffeine, etc). X's are used to represent "the edge".

sXe, edge, straight-edge, xxx

28. (Straight Edge) (12↑, 4↓)
A name given to a personal lifestyle choice in order to make it sound 'cool'. The lifestyle consists of the respectful choices to not do drugs, have casual sex, or drink alcohol. Basically these people choose to respect their own body in every way. Some people that follow this lifestyle may put X's on there hands and a bandana over their nose and mouth in order to try and further make this lifestyle look 'cool'. For some that follow this lifestyle they may think it makes them better then everyone else and will go around letting everyone know they are 'straight edge', what these people don't realize is no one gives a [shit]. Others who follow this type of lifestyle will only let people know at appropriate times. These people are the respectful ones, but they still sound stupid calling themselves straight edge.

Guy 1: Dude do you want to smoke some, have a drink or find some girls to fuck? Guy 2: No man I am straight edge. Guy 1: Oh... alright dude that's fine, that's actually respectful, but I hope you know you sound like a Faggot when you say you are "straight edge".

The kind of people who choose not to do drugs or drink, but are too trendy to realize you don't need a [label] to describe everything you do.

I'm straight edge because I want to remember my life, because all drugs give you amnesia.

34. (Straight Edge) (5↑, 1↓)
A lifestyle free of drugs, alcohol and casual sex. It has nothing to do with abstaining from *all* drugs (such as prescribed medicines or even caffeine - in fact the original straight edge dudes from Wash DC used to get hyped up on Coca-Cola as a sort of joke - "whee we can get crazy just on regular soda\!" sorta thing). It also has nothing to do with vegetarianism - although many people that are into straight edge are big time vegetarians (including myself). Any variation or expansion of/on the "big 3" (drugs, alcohol, casual sex) is not straight edge in the classic sense.

WrongKid\#1 "I don't take aspirin because I'm straight edge". WrongKid \#2 "If you eat meat you can't claim the edge". KidThatKnowsWhatsUp - "Straight edge is about abstaining from drugs, alcohol and casual sex, period. No more, no less. This desire to keep my mind and body sharp has also opened my eyes up to the virtues of vegetarianism/veganism, but since I'm not a dumbass and know a little bit of punk rock history I'm aware these additional things simply compliment straight edge, but are NOT straight edge per se".

35. (straight edge) (12↑, 8↓)
One who has made a lifetime commitment to not smoke, drink, do drugs, or participate in promiscuous sex. This does not mean no sex at all, it just means only sex when in a serious relationship - not random hook-ups. Being straight edge has nothing to do with religion. Although someone who is religious can be straight edge - the two are not correlated. One cannot call themselves straight edge unless they plan to obstain from these acts for life. If someone breaks one of these, he or she was never straight edge. Those who are straight edge feel they do not need to smoke, drink, do drugs, or participate in casual sex to have a good time and enjoy life. People who are straight edge still go to parties, go see bands at shows, and most of what non-straight edge individuals do - they just don't poison their bodies in the process.

I'm 25 and have been straight edge for 8 years - I go to parties, still see my favorite bands, and have sex with my husband regularly. I never engage in acts that I regret since my mind is clear at all times. I don't cough up a lung going up the stairs since I don't smoke. Being straight edge has never stopped me from having a good time - and the best part is that I remember all of them\!

People within the hardcore/punk culture that claim the straight edge abstain from drugs, drinking, irresponsible sex or sex without love, and often from eating meat, dairy, or both. Occasionally straight edgers will avoid caffeine. Straight edge is a movement credited to Ian MacKaye of 80s hardcore band Minor Threat, who penned the song Straight Edge. Many straight-edgers draw black X’s on their hands to signify their choice — an action that harks back to the late 1970s/early 1980s, when bouncers would draw black X’s on the hands of kids who were underage so that bartenders would know not to serve them alcohol.

Raver: "Nice shoes, let's fuck\!" sXe: "Nah, I'm straight-edge."

I made the decision years ago not to drink/smoke/do drugs... and I don't want to sound like an idiot but even if the opportunity was there to sleep around I wouldn't anyway. I decided all this before I'd even heard of straight-edge, infact I only found out about it last night when I was hanging out with my drinking, smoking friends. And I'm pleased that the term straight edge is about because it means I have something easier to say if anybody offers me any of the above. I also appreciate that for some people it's part of the whole non-conformity thing, like following the emo trend... Where they are conforming to non-conformity, if you get what I mean. But it's unfair to assume that 'straight-edgers' go around in gangs beating the crap out of people because they're smoking. All my friends drink, and all my friends smoke, and most of my friends'll happily sleep around... I just sit there with my bottle of water and enjoy myself like they do. So you folks on here that call us fags/losers can sod off because that's simply not true in all cases.

THIS DID NOT HAPPEN, BUT HYPERTHETICALLY/BORINGLY: Friend of mine before he knew me: D'you drink? Me: No. Friend of mine before he knew me: D'you smoke? Me: No. Friend of mine before he knew me: D'you do drugs? Me: No. Friend of mine before he knew me: So you're straight edge then? Me: Urm, I guess so. Friend of mine before he knew me: Cool, I respect that. Me: That's good then, I also respect your decisions.

Straight Edge, is a label that was born out of punk music. Someone who doesn't, take in substances that effect the body(ie drugs not necessarily illegal), potentially doesn't eat meat. Will not engage in casual sex. Someone who dislikes drugs but is not original or secure enough to just say "I don't do drugs". A person who identifies as such is a loser, not because of their actions but because they apply the stupid label to themselves. for example, "Your just a stupid stoner\!" "No, you twit I happen to be a guy who likes to smoke pot". They also have a affinity for stupid triple X tattoos as well

Beer guy"Hey want a beer" straightedge" No I'm straight edge, i live a pure lifestyle" Beer "All you had to say was no thanks.. \!" Example of non-asshole guy1" take a hit" guy2 "I don't smoke, but thanks" guy1 "Thats cool, more for the rest of us"

A lifestlye, A movement, A promise. Straight Edge was originally started By Ian McAye and the band Minor Threat in 1981. Being Straight edge is keeping yourself pure and not polluting your body with Alchohol, Drugs, and other Substances. Some Straight Edge followers do not eat meat or dairy, some do not ingest caffine, or even sugar. The Mark of Straight edge is three X's (X X X) sometimes abreviated sXe, Straight Edge followers typically wear two X's on the backs of their hands at hardcore shows, or sometimes everyday, Bouncers back in the day would mark underaged concergoers so bartenders would know not to serve them alchoholic beverages, so the Straight Edge followers took that symbol and made it into their mark. Many Followers belive that the three X's stand for: No Alchohol, No Drugs, No Sex (permiscious sex), but some think it stands for Body, Mind, and Soul.

Straight Edge is the only way I can live, and I will hold true forever. XXX

Living a poison free life. Straight edge (Sxe or XXX), has three basic rules: X- No drugs (nothing that alters your mood) X- No alcohol X- No casual sex. Straight edge does not mean you don't have fun, it simply means you can think without depending on a substance, and you have a smaller chance of getting STDs because you fucked some random person.

Don't say straight edge is stupid, chances are if drinking is your crutch you are the one that is stupid. Listen to straight edge-Minor threat Fuck you, I'm edge

losers who listen to their parents when they tell them propaganda about drugs, sex and alcohol. people who dont know how to have a good time, usually are much more boring than the majority of people. mainly consists of social outcasts, and are often the laughing stock of popular kids who socialize and have lives. the men are generally afraid of vagina's and women secretly finger themselves to the thought of nick jonas. search up "pussy" for an alternate definition of straight edges. being very religious people, they tend to shun away anyone who questions or does not beleive in their religion, which is usually maintream western religions like christianity or catholism, judging first, asking questions later. often they think they're better than drug users and drinkers, but youll never find them off their computer actually socializing, cause everyone else is drinking and they dont wanna be apart of the excitement. they're usually the result of alcoholic parents, determined not to fall in the footsteps of their elders. they put X's on their arms because they think having this 'mysterious' letter on their body will make up for the fact that they are drop dead boring and very annoying to be around. close to no one wants to hang out with them, and the only people that can stand them are other straight edges and their parents. they say they dont need drugs to have fun, but they tend to stay home on a friday night rather than actually going out.

Kevin: sup you wanna hit the bar on friday? Alisha: no way, im a straight edge, dont try to tempt me with your evil poisons, you horrid drug abuser\! Kevin: hahahhahah, good luck with that faggot.

A movement of people who (wisely) realized that they are not strong enough to explore all aspects of their minds. They instead limit their life experience to reflect some contrived, Western morality which they lay claim to, but is really just a repackaging of the same puritanical rhetoric that has chained the human psyche since the dark ages.

Johnny Twentysomething: "Man, I was tripping mushrooms this weekend and I communed telepathically with the tree in my yard. I explored a different state of human consciousness and contemplated the origins of popular attitudes toward life and happiness." Jimmy Straight Edge: "Woah, woah. It's dangerous to challenge assumptions. I prefer to parrot attitudes I heard in a crappy '80s rock song."

Yes, there is a band, Minor Threat, (my most favorite band of all time)(trust me, i know alot about these guys), and they had a song called "straight edge". However, the motion of this whole straight edge skeet is based on the song "out of step" by minor threat: Out of Step (with the world) by Minor Threat, 1981 [3] (I) Don't smoke Don't drink Don't fuck At least I can fucking think I can't keep up Can't keep up Can't keep up Out of step with the world If you listen to the origional version of "out of step", you will hear him say in the middle on the song: ""listen this is no set of rules, i'm not telling you what to do,all i'm saying is i'm bringing three things that are like so important to the whole world...that i dont find more importance in... because of these things, whether they're fuckin, or whether they're playing golf."" if you really knew shit about this wonderful band, and you heard what they had to say, then you would realize that this movement is something YOU guys made up, and they just shrugged at that. This is not a movement with HELLA detailed rules like you may think. In fact, it was not supposed to be a movement at all. Please dont join this movement. the "basics" of what people have set to this is that you dont smoke, drink and fuckAROUND with smoking or drinking. its not X-X-X its really only 2 X's for you guys. it doesnt matter about that shit, its not worth arguing about. you can be clean and sober for yourself, and not make a billboard out of yourself about it.

no more X's kids. Read up on your bands before you publish shit about their songs. there was never meant to be a straight edge.

If you are straight edge you are basically someone who respects their body and wants to live a healthy life. You don't drink, do drugs, or engage in [promiscuous sex]. Most straight edge people are teenagers (because they are under 21); therefore these are the smart [teenagers]...you know, the ones that can actually have [fun] without putting [toxins] in their body or randomly [hooking up] with people to pass the time.

Self-description of some people who choose not to do drugs, smoke, drink, or have casual sex. Some straight edgers, like most people who take their personal choices seriously, do not advertise this fact to the world through tattoos or Michael Jackson-esque bandannas over their faces. Those who do betray the fact that their "philosophy" is ultimately a means toward clannishness and feeling better about themselves by looking down on others. Will frequently profess to not think themselves better than others, but will do so in such a way that betrays the opposite reality, as in "just because you choose to poison yourself and escape from reality, doesn't mean I look down on you." Occasionally, straight edgers will attempt to one-up each other by ruling out other activities, such as drinking caffeine and eating meat.

'''Current-''' It has been widely speculated that Straight Edge is now more a cult than anything else. They make up for the "responsible behavior" of abstaining from drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, to turn instead to violence, especially against those not involved in the group, and widely transmitting STD through reckless, unprotected sex. The underground side of this world has been featured on MTV, The Early Show, 60 Minutes as well as other respected magazines, newspapers, and television programming.

What the kids who can't get laid call themselves. Most of the time, Straight Edge kids are the ones who have social problems, but don't want to admit to it. Basically, they don't have sex because: - They are socially lacking, and very VERY shy. And they don't drink because: - Following the lack of sex thing, they decide to try and hide their problems by saying 'I don't give in to tempt'. The vast majority of these clowns act holier than thou, so if they see someone drinking or making out, they'll look away in disgust or shout 'ALKIE\!' or 'GET A ROOM'. They also draw big X's on their hands just to show how much bottle they don't have.

As said previously, this is an idea mainly thought to be coined by Minor Threat (thus being an offshoot of punk/hardcore). Their song Straight Edge outlines their lifestyle that they choose to live... I've been told it was their drummer who was using a ruler to draw a poster and noted that the ruler's straight edge was a metaphor for their lifestyles... The basic outline of straight edge is, as said before, not wanting to or taking part in: Drinking (or any mind effecting drugs) Smoking Casual sex (without a loving relationship) This is just a simple guideline of what the LIFESTYLE of an edge person is. It can be built upon with vegan/vegetarianism, no caffeine and other choices that keep your body poison free. An X can be worn on the hands of people who are edge, along with stating poison free, straight edge can be abbreviated to sXe. The idea of straight edge is not to poison the mind and body with anything that is bad for it, this, to me includes being a general bastard to people… For me its being the best person you can be. We are not boring people, I choose not to drink, it doesn't mean I can’t have fun, or go to parties, I just have fun while knowing what I’m doing and remembering. Straight edge should unite people and not turn into a gang who discriminate against people who do poison their bodies... It's their choice, let them live with it, I don’t look down on people who aren’t edge.

Two good examples are: Davey Havok (AFI) Justin Sane (Anti-flag) ... These guys are modern day saints in my opinion non sXe: do you want a drink/joint/smoke/one night stand… etc.? sXe: No thanks, I don’t want to do that (Straight edge is not a reason not to drink, smoke etc. A straight edge person will have their own reasons; straight edge is just a way of showing their lifestyle.)

"Straightedge" was a song by Minor Threat recorded in the early 80s. No drugs, no excessive drinkin, or casual sex. Being straight-edge is not following a set of rules, it is following an ideal. People who are straight-edge are not against drinking, they are against drinking excessively; alcohol is not poisonous in small quantities, nor do such small quantities alter your state of mind. The whole principle behind sXe, as it is referred to, is purity/clarity of body and mind. To see where straight-edge came from, here are the lyrics to "Straightedge" written by Ian McKaye of Minor Threat in 1981. "I'm a person just like you But I've got better things to do Than sit around and fuck my head Hang out with the living dead Snort white shit up my nose Pass out at the shows I don't even think about speed That's something I just don't need I've got the straight edge I'm a person just like you But I've got better things to do Than sit around and smoke dope 'Cause I know I can cope Laugh at the thought of eating ludes Laugh at the thought of sniffing glue Always gonna keep in touch Never want to use a crutch I've got the straight edge" As you can see, sXe is not against drinking; it's against getting messed up. More recently, some who are sXe are also against eating processed foods which can also poison the body, or against eating meat. Most straight-edge people also refrain from casual sex, as they beleive that too is a form of mind-poison. Also, while being straight-edge doesnt mean you CAN'T drink, most of those who are sXe do not.

Straight Edge(sXe) is a choice not to do anything that pollutes the body or mind. A sXe kid will not drink, smoke, do drugs, or have sex(unless in a committed relationship). Hardcore sXe-ers don't drink, smoke, do drugs, have sex until marriage, and are vegan. This all varries from person to person, but the "rules" generally are: No Drinking No Drugs No Sex

Straight edge was invented by a song from the band Minor Threat in the early 80's. It was all started by one line in a 45 second song, I've got the straight edge. It was invented in Washington DC and was brought up to Boston by a guy named Al Bareal he invented hardline. Straight edge has three simple rules no drinking, no drugs, and no smoking. Hardline is much like straight edge but has more rules than just no drinking, no smoking, and no drugs. No caffine, have to be a vegetarian or vegan, no sex unless it's procreation, no imported chocolate, no porn, no masterbating are some of the other rules. There are two types of straight edge lifestyles the positive an the militant. Boston is known for it's militant type edge, Boston Beatdown. Straight Edge is a lifestyle not a label. It is a new generation. Here is the real history and def of straight edge.

Straight Edge means Not doing drugs, Not drinking, Not having casual sex unless in a relationship. Kids in local music scenes seem to think that they are cool by labeling themselves as Straight Edge, most of them dont know what the fuck there talking about and run all over the place (like thoughs in a gay parade) letting everyone know how cool and Straight Edge they are. These are the kids that need to grow up. You can not drink and not do drugs without having some retarded label. Its simply just another dumb fad that the "scene" kids think is cool. The people who are really straight edge are people over the age of 19 who dont feel that drugs, drinking and casual sex are a very healthy life choice, these are usually respectable people who do not tattoo "XXX" on themselves or swing there arms and legs in some "dance pit" at a local show to show how HARDCORE and STRAIGHT EDGE they are. Real straight edgers also dont force there views on people and yell straight edge everytime they see someone with a beer or a joint in there hand. They also wont call themselves straight edge, they just are they dont need to parade.

band member-"After the show tonight stick around and get drunk" stupid scene kid-"FUCKING STRAIGHT EDGE\!" drunk fan-"Who the fuck are you?

A way of living involving no drugs, alcohol, or premicious sex. This term originally came from a 1980's hardcore band named Minor Threat. They wrote a song called "Straight Edge" (you wouldnt guess). Most people don't know why they were ACTUALLY straight edge. As many people know, the 1980's hardcore was a group of people who just wanted to be different than everyone else. At this time period, all the kids were smoking weed, drinking beer and doing all that shit. These hardcore kids did it to be different. In today's society, most straight edge kids don't know about this and are just straight edge to be cool.

Back in the day, Minor Threat was a straight edge hardcore band.

The label to the pledge of being clean and self-respectful. Often linked to Hard Line, the pledge is to stay drug and alcohol free. Others also choose to stay casual sex free, but that is part of the hard line life style. The three xs are like strikes... but in truth, one strike and you're out. Edge is a lifestyle not a real label. You dont have to announce it to the whole world.

"Hey man\! Wanna pitch in on the weed?" "I'm straight edge bro. I dont do stuff like that."

87. (straight edge) (37↑, 42↓)
a movement created by the government targeting ignorant punk rocking teenagers. they don't have casual sex because they can't get any pussy. if they did, they wouldn't be against it. even though people who drink and get high don't have a problem with people who don't, straight edgers have a problem with them because straight edgers are arrogant. the straight edge movement is often associated with "music" played by people who have no ability to play their instrument. they compensate by turning their amplifiers up to the point where the "music" loses clarity and becomes unaudible loud noise. the people at the concerts pretend to like the noise because to them, everyone else seems to be enjoying it. like all trends, straight edge will die out eventually, and the teens who were once part of it will grow up and not be able to get a job because noone wants to hire a someone with X's tattood all over them. so the next time a straight edge hassles you and slaps a beer out of your hands, kindly break the bottle of his head.

Bob: Hey Bill, let's go find some people who aren't straight edge and impose our will upon them, then tell them they are inferior\! Bill: OK\!

[Straight edge], [sXe] came out of the punk scene. [Minor Threat] wrote a song called [Straight Edge], which entails no drinking, smoking or drugs. In another song called [Out of Step], they elaborate and add on no permiscuous sex. Quite a few [sXe] and [HC] kids are [Vegan] and [Vegetarian] also, "[poison free]". The universal symbol for this [musical movement] is an [X] or [XXX] as well as [XXX] with two lines below it, as well as three [sailing stars] on the hand right by the thumb. [Music], [hardcore], [HC] plays a large role in [straightedge], [sXe]. There is more to [sXe], [straight edge] than not drinking, smoking, doing drugs or having [permiscuous sex]...it is about [music]\! And some would argue that [permiscuous sex] shouldn't be included. Some kids have taken [sXe] further and are what is known as "[Hardline]."

A popular lifestyle among teens in which they choose to abide by the law, and veer away from illegal substances and promiscuous sexual intercourse. For some unknown reason, they found it necessary to call themselves "straight edge" or "SxE."

Me: Dude you wanna hit this blunt? SxE idiot: NO way dude\! I don't think we can be friends anymore dude. I totally thought you were sxe. *with hand motions* I'm above drugs, you should be too\! Me: *smokes blunt* SxE idiot: *continues blabbering aimless about his so called "straight edge" life style*

As far as I know Minor Threat originated Straight Edge in the 1980s. Originally, the life style consisted of refusing to use drugs/alcohol. Now, a lot of straight edge kids like to avoid casual sex; however, minor threat never portrayed that idea in their song "straight edge." The band has said that they named this life style "straight edge" because it shows someone who has "got their shit straight" which gives them an "edge over others." They started leading this life style in high school when they would see the teens around them ruining their lives with drug use and alcohol. So, they did the opposite of what they saw people doing, which was a large part of the punk scene.

I'm a person just like you But I've got better things to do Than sit around and fuck my head Hang out with the living dead Snort white shit up my nose Pass out at the shows I don't even think about speed That's something I just don't need I've got the straight edge I'm a person just like you But I've got better things to do Than sit around and smoke dope 'Cause I know I can cope Laugh at the thought of eating ludes Laugh at the thought of sniffing glue Always gonna keep in touch Never want to use a crutch I've got the straight edge _____________________________________ "Straight Edge" as performed by: Minor Threat

straight-edge is lifestyle promoting a drug free life and it`s not being bring or anti social it`s having fun without abusing your body. You can have sex as long as it`s out of love not greed. Being vegan is not part of the sxe lifestyle more of a side choice that you can choose if you want.

Why do something if your not going to enjoy it Straight-Edge for life\!

101. (straight edge) (11↑, 17↓)
Coined by Ian Mackaye of the band Minor Threat. It always means NO smokes drinks drugs or promiscious sex. Sometimes it means not consuming meat and caffiene, it varies. It's about strength as a person. Usually kids take it too far and can be real asshats about it. Most edge kids break edge/sell out by the end of their teens.

hatexedgers act like jerks to non-edgers because they are insecure about themselves and think labels like [vegan] and [straight edge] make them a better person.

A philosophy originated in the early 80's in the US punk rock community which defines a punk who does not use drugs (either legal or illegal). The name came from a song from the band Minor Threat that briefly described what was understood as the straight edge way of life. In the early 90's "straight edge" started to be viewed as vegetarian, contrary to promiscuous sex and even religious which is not true despite the attitude of certain groups inside the community who can be held responsible for such image.

A:I am a straight edge / I am a straight edger B:What does that say about you? A: It means I am a member of the punk rock community who does not use drugs and choose to define myself as a straight edge B: Is it true that you guys are all vegetarian, avoid promiscuous sex andhave connections with christian and hindu religions? A: I think most straight edgers are either vegan or vegetarian but I have not met many who would avoid sex for moral reasons and many of us are atheists.

103. (straight edge) (17↑, 23↓)
keeping a clear mind and a clean body. refusal to use drugs, drink, smoke or have promiscuous sex. a phrase originally from a minor threat song glorifying the lifestyle.

Originated when bands used to play at bars and the underage members would have to put x's on their hands so that they couldn't be served drinks. Also, there is rumor that it originated from "Emo" dickweeds who cut themselves with razors a.k.a. Straight edge blades.

Straight Edge person- "I cut myself to prove to you really cool kids that I'm not a pussy just because I don't drink, party, have sex, smoke, do drugs, or have any fun what so ever." Me- *stab* *smoke joint* *smoke cigarette* *put out cigarette in the kids eye* "Faggot"

Once affiliated with the conservative element of the punk movement (against drugs, alcohol and casual sex, extremist elements were anti-abortion and sometimes violent) in the 1980s. Now, however, the meaning can also include people who distinguish themselves from their peer group by abstaining from drugs and alcohol by personal choice rather than by affiliation with the punk subculture ideology.

1988: Pete wears electrical-tape X's on his hands and burns down abortion clinics, he's a punk-rock mix of Ronald Reagan and the Muslim Brotherhood 2008: Pete doesn't poke the smot with the rest of us cause he's straight edge, but we love him anyway cause he bakes us lots of betty crocker when we're high.

Straight Edge is a way of life. It includes no smoking no drinking no drugs no premiscuous sex It is somthing people decide to do because they don't want to fuck up their body just for a rise. [sXe] was originated by hardcore IT'S NOT FUCKING EMO\! scene kids stole straight edge to be cool and so now a lot of people think that [sXe] is just a trend for fags who think thry're cool. Some bastards claim edge because it makes them feel superior.

I'm straight edge, and I don't want to make people feel inferior. It's somthing I chose. The local scene kids claimed edge for about a day, probably making them feel really cool before they went back to drink and drugs to help them with their non existant lives.

a disease rapidly spreading over the teenage population of the US. symptoms include: a lack of life (i.e. being too much of a pussy to take a shot god forbid u get intoxicated) a clear mind (wats the fun in that?) and a lack of poon tang, unless theyre in a "loving relationship"(which doesnt actually exist) an infatuation with the letter x and the word core which results from the lack of life and also an obsession and coagulation of a million different faggy ass trends that these little kids with no drugs create

A straight edge person, is one who woke up one morning when one was around the age of 14 and one realized, "Wait, I haven't done any drugs yet, all of my friends have, I need to come up with an excuse for why I'm not cool. I know, I'll tell everyone I'm straight edge\!" One then lives one's life until the age of 23 being straight edge. Get's "xxx" tattooed on one's arm, never gets laid. Upon turning the age of 24, has a beer, regrets the tattoo, and realizes it's too late to ever have sex because one is a homo. See Homo Thug

It's about keeping it pure, staying true to yourself, and respecting your body. No drugs, no alcohol, no promiscuous sex. The issue of sex has become skewed and you may find people that call themselves straight edge and still have promiscuous sex. I personally have never heard of someone breaking edge because they had sex with some one. Although that does not mean I don't consider promiscuous sex part of being straight edge.That's another issue. Straight Edge originated with the band Minor Threat. Minor Threat was formed in D.C. in 1980. Ian McKaye, vocals, wrote "I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't fuck, at least I can fuckin think," In the song Out of Step which was released in early 1981 on their EP, In My Eyes. This was later coined as straight edge with a song entitled Straight Edge on Minor Threat's next self titled EP later in 1981. The term caught on throughout the D.C. punk/hardcore scene and also spread throughout Boston. Straight Edge is often abbreviated as sXe. The "X" became associated with Straight Edge because of a loop hole in laws of Washington D.C. at the time. The legal drinking age at the time was 18. Most shows were booked in clubs and bars and this posed a problem for most of the kids going to shows as they were minors. Another law in Washington at the time was that all bars must also serve food. Therefore there was no such thing as a bar in D.C. in 1980, there were only restaurants. Kids worked with bouncers and said they would put X's on their hands to symbolize that they were minors and could not drink. This eventually evolved into a symbol of Straight Edge and kids began to X up even when shows were not at bars. TRUE TIL DEATH. xJHUNTx

Straight edge bands new and old: Minor Threat, Youth of Today, Gorilla Biscuits, Slapshot, Earth Crisis, Judge, Side By Side, Bold, Carry On, Chain of Strength, Champion, Ten Yard Fight, With Honor, Down To Nothing, Stand and Fight, xLooking Forwardx, BANE, Casey Jones, In My Eyes, Floorpunch, Comeback Kid, Strife, Mouthpiece, Underdog, Death Before Dishonor, Embrace Today, The Promise, Good Clean Fun, I Hate You, Youth Brigade and many more.

In the non poser sense (i.e. someone who actually stays committed and doesn't give in to the pressure to use substances and have tons of sex) Someone who chooses to live a clean life free of the iniquity of poisonous substances such as alcohol, tabacco, drugs, as well as refraining from sex when not accompanied by a strong emotional attachment. Doesn't have to beat up people but some choose to not because they are straight edge but because they are assholes. However, to be straight edge is to endure ridicule, bias, fear, and prejudice. But knowing that your stronger in your convictions than others gives you all the support you'll ever need knowing that you don't rely on a crutch to facilitate social functions and happiness cause straight edgers can socialize and have fun in a natural state.

straight edge is a lifestyle its all about keeping your head straight & to not poison your body with alcohol, drugs, smoking & one night stands & just have fun with out that. straight edge began in the hardcore punk scene in the 1980s "Minor Threat" the very band who made the movement made a song called "Straight Edge" witch changed the lifes of alot of the punks who started to follow this lifestyle many of them decided to quit alcohol & drugs. The band members who was Straight Edge at the time are no longer Straight Edge & that band was not a long lived band as for the members moved on to other bands. The "X" symbol plays a big roll in the straight edge movement the very people who are in this movement mark an "X" on there hands to show that they are straight edge & proud of it\!. This straight edge movement did die out abit but later it came back late 80s/90s & such bands like "earth crisis" added veganism to it as well even no it was fine how it was befor.. The song straight edge by Minor Threat where is the part where they say dont eat meat???? WTF?.. Alot of the kids in the late 80s early 90s straight edge movement get in to a pack to jump a drunk on the streets & drug dealers keeping the streets safe so these straight edgers didnt think any better by attacking people by out numbering them but it has to be done one way or another they dressed less punk by chucking away there studded leather jackets & more well how could i put it hmm more gangsta like bandanas, Nike shoes, baggy pants, base ball caps some times the wrong way round, & a jock jacket with straight edge written at the back, & hoodies, it was more of a Youth Crew thing now but still straight edge was strong. straight edge Hardcore music of the late 80s to early 90s had a less punk sound to more of a metal like sound. The straight edge scene of the 2000s is still going strong but many people do not notice cause the posers have taken over it just looks like one big joke now these emo scene kids or whatever the f*ck you want to call them just ruin it these kids of today mark an "X" on there hand just to be trendy & they pose like a whore on myspace.com to grab attention its only a trendy thing to them yet they have sex with anyone like a whore does & that breaks the straight edge rules these emo scene kids who goes around saying there straight edge there called fake-edgers & if you see one just kick the living daylights out of them cause straight edge is a lifestyle not a trendy MTV thing.

straight edge is a lifeStyle. I dont need alcohol & i dont need your f*ckin drugs & i dont f*ck everyone like a god damn whore you no its up to you if you wonna waste your life away but you'll see who lives longer :) Im off now i have better things to do you can carry on fucking your head up.

118. (straight edge) (3↑, 12↓)
A way of life commonly affiliated with the hardcore/punk scene. The early straight edge movement was supported by musicians such as Ted Nugent, Minor Threat, Uniform Choice, Cause for Alarm, etc. Those that follow the straight edge lifestyle abstain from recreational drug use (straight edge extremists may not even use drugs for medicinal purposes), alcohol, and casual sex, therefore ensuring that they have a healthier, happier life. They are also strong-willed, smart, self-respecting people that prove that you don't need to mess yourself up to be happy. Most straight edge people have complete disdain for hippies, stoners, smokers, alcoholics, and promiscuous people and see them for the weak-willed jack offs that they really are. Remember, ganja kills\!\! A common straight edge sign would be: sXe. Straight edge people also may be seen crossing their arms across the front of their bodies with black X's drawn across the back of their fists.

Stoner: Hey, man, you wanna go toke up??? Straight Edge Person: No, you fucking moron. I wanna live.

The words 'straight edge' come from the title of a song penned by Ian Mackaye of the hardcore band Minor Threat. This song as well as others by Minor Threat including 'Out of Step' warned of the pitfuls of consuming alcohol, drugs and partaking in promisciuos sex. The phrase 'straight edge' was applied to people who followed this philosophy. The key components of straight edge are: 1. No alcohol 2. No drugs 3. No promiscuous sex If you follow these 'rules' then you will be in control of your body and mind. Some people who're straightedge also beleive they must be vegetarian but more often than not vegan because either they are against animal cruelty or they do not want to poison their bodies with dead flesh. Straight ege grew in popularity throughout the 1980s. There are two main off shoots of straight edge. Firstly hardline, where the values of straight edge are taken to the extreme. People who're hardline will be vegan and may be animal rights activists as well as anti-abortionists. The second main group to split off from straight edge is 'Krishnacore', where people who're straight edge extend their personal philosophy by becoming followers of Hare krishna. The main symbol of straight edge is the 'x'. this symbol was adopted becasue at all dayer hardcore shows those to young to drink would be marked with an 'x' on their hand. Those who chose not to drink adopted this symbol The word straight edge can be shortened to sXe, or represented by xxx. People who're straight edge often where x's on their hands especially at gigs. Some straightedgers choose not to show their edge, believing that to be straight edge is a personal choice and does not need to dsiplayed. People who're straightedge often sign their name with an x in it, usily at both ends and/or in the middle. for example xnamex or xmyxnamex. Bands who contain straightedge members often put x's in their name to show this fact. e.g thexbreakxin Most straightedge bands play hardcore e.g. Throwdown but there is a much smaller straightedge movement within hip hop, for example the rapper xsagexfrancisx Recently the straightedge lifestyle has seen a resergence in popularity, mostly due to the rise of straightedge bands who then inlfuence their fans E.g. Eighteen Visions, and the rise of hardcore music in general. In some places in the world, straightedgers (people whore straightedge) are regarded as a gang, and a threat to society. For example in Utah t-shirts that say 'vegan' or 'straightedge' are banned from schools because straightedge is officially seen as a gang by the police and gang 'colours' are not allowed to be worn within schools. However i firmly believe that o be straightedge is to be positive and in control. Here are some lyrics from the song 'Forever' by the straightedge band Throwdown: '..for my self, for my friends, for my family...i'll take this to the bitter end. You wanna know why i'm still here? STRAIGTH F**KING EDGE...i'll be true, forever...' xmaryx

By not drinking, doing drugs or partaking in promiscous sex these bands fit follow the philosophy of straight edge: Minor Threat, Earth Crisis, Bleeding Through, The Break In, The Legacy, Bane, Comeback Kid, Throwdown.

Term that was coined by Minor Threat, a punk band. The "rules" are basically whatever you want, though the basics are usually no drugs, drinking, or slutty sex. Other stuff includes no caffeine, veganism, and no artificual shit.

A term and lifestyle originally used by a group of reasonably sensible people who saw what drugs/alcohol/casual sex can do to ruin peoples lives and decided to abstain from these activities. Since then, it has become incredibly popular with young people who are too ignorant/scared to try new things and wanted an excuse not to.

Minor Threat: "We do not want to destroy our bodies/morals, we will be sXe" Kid: "I'm too scared to try these new things, if I become sXe, I will not look like such a pussy and may even look like a very sensible person"

A movement started in the early 80's from the hardcore punk scene. Basically it means to be drug free. One major note: you can't be edge if you have more than three bedrooms in your house.

1) "Dude, the school newspaper did an article about that straight edge kid. He's pretty cool." "Yeah, but he's got more than three bedrooms in his house, so he's a FAKIE." 2) "Dude...that edge kid has four bedrooms in his house\!" "WHAT WOULD IAN MCKAYE SAY\!\!?\!?\!?\!?"

The only thing gayer than Emo. Being straight edge is just an excuse for kids who are too pussy to try drugs or drink, or for kids who dont have any friends. What makes me laugh is these kids actually think their hard core " gangstas " with their wal-mart rags over their fat, pale nerd faces. I wish one of these kids would live by me so I could beat the shit out of him.

Straight edge kids suck at life

People who don't want to destroy their bodies, and brains with toxins. These people, like myself, find it funny that some people who do enjoy drinking and smoking feel the need to insult them. It's a lifestyle fucktards. Deal with it. :)

A bunch of fags that swear off drinking, smoking, and doing drugs. Useally in the hardcore scene. More often than not they are 9-5 edge, breaking there pledge under the table. Straight Edge people have been known to become violent against people for not being edge or being "racist". Going so far to kill a guy wearing a Lynard Skynard shirt. Also will beat your ass in the pit, if your hands are not marked with the straight edge X's.

Did you see those straight edge fags smoking pot. Their full of shit.

similar to [emo] in that it was invented by Ian Mackaye but got out of hand and now totally sucks. Also completley misunderstood, nearly from Day 1. 1)[Edge] kids blieve in "rules" of no smoking, drinking, drugs or casual sex, with variations of veganism pro-life, etc. 2) Some of these variations are ridiculous and [fascist]. But edge wasn't supposed to be rules, it was just supposed to be what you thought was right, and what was good for your health (ahem, getting in fights with smokers may not be too healthy).

1) Edge: STAY TRUE\! Normal Kid: Are you always this uptight? 2) Guy in the mall: (lights up) [Hardline] Kid: (beats the shit out of the smoker)

139. (straight edge) (21↑, 41↓)
Those pussies that are afraid to have any fun in life. They think it makes them "cool" by abstaining from drugs, alcohol, sex outside of marriage, etc...all the fun things in life. They also tend to be vegetarian or vegan. Come on. Submit to peer pressure. Don't be afraid to have a little fun every once in a while other than just beating off all day, you pussies. I used to be a vegetarian, but I realized how much of a bitch I was being. They are easily picked out of a crowd by the numerous "X" (meaning "hardcore") and "V" (meaning "Vegetarian" or "Vegan") symbols that they have either drawn on themselves or, in extreme cases, tattooed on their bodies. They have yet to realize that they will regret said tattoos in a few years.

Nathan is straight edge and, but those "V" tattoos on the back of his arms make me want to punch him in the face.

Straight Edge is an adjective that describes a person like myself that believes that using mind altering substances or smoking cigarettes and having promiscous sex are for the weak, whether it be because they are unable to deal with the realities of life and their problems, or because they have low self esteem and/or intelligence and will do anything they are told is right and acceptable. There are many modern diluted versions of Straight Edge, and also many twists on it that add other things such as not drinking coffee or being a [vegan], since being a vegan is just plain silly and drinking coffee is hardly a sinister thing that kids get together to do in derelict houses, or that shady dealers push on street corners, or that homeless people get loaded on(if thats possible) to forget the troubles it caused them, I, being Straight Edge, don't concern myself with such things. Because of [hardliners](people who violently push their belief on others) and the fact that people are jealous of those who are perceived as better than them, many people believe Straight Edge to be dangerous, when its the very opposite, or a lame fad for faggots, because they want us to be as low as them. Another misconception is that Straight Edge is a commitment or vow, the true Straight Edge person believes that nothing else is acceptable for them. A true Straight Edge person can be identified by nothing more than a tattoo of an X(or some variation of that) on their body, usually somewhere visible, like the arms or hands. While others simply keep being [sXe] to themselves, most choose to bear their tattoo as a mark of pride.

In simple terms: No drink\! No drugs\! No smokes\! No sex\! I can cope, I've got Straight Edge\!

Punk rocking kids who realized they were being posers, so they formed their own clique of punks that don't drink, smoke, or do drugs. Hobbies include hanging out with real punks and leaving when the punks take part in illegal activies, along with calling themselves straight edge repeatedly to assert their sense of a higher morality.

"Hey do you want to smoke some [weed]"? "No thanks, I'm straight edge."

Nerdy white bread assholes who want to belong to a group very much like scenesters. What's with the bandana around the mouth anyway? that's for taggers, people who actually live life, oh yeah that's a great way of getting shot up by latino's and blacks btw.

I can understand not doing drugs, or maybe trying it once (the non-addictive ones) to see what it's like. I can even understand not having sex because there are disease's spreading like crazy... but not drinking is just lame imo, everyone needs to kick back sometime and just relax with a little booze, it wont kill ya so quit being so square

No sex. No drugs. No drinking. No fun. Lots of music and friends. Normally they wear buttons on pants/hats/bags/shirts/wherever to indicate somehow that they are straight edge and proud. It seems to have turned into a big lable. Lame if you ask me.

"That guy seems like he has a sick up his ass..." "Oh yeah, he must be straight edge."

159. (Straight Edge) (21↑, 48↓)
A false belief with false promises. Indulge in the pleasures of the flesh, do not cling to your petty promises of purity and honour, for they do not exist. This is a belief that human beings shouldn't drink, do drugs or have casual sex. These three things will always exist; you're fighting a losing battle, Straight Edges. Twist your edge.

The Straight Edge didn't have any fun, he was too cool for it. He was too cool to go out for a drink with his friends, too cool to know what if you're not a complete dick you can enjoy drugs and alchohol without any EXTREMELY derogatory backlash.

A set of rules that came from a Punk band called Minor Threat, now a trend for the teens of America to suck on. The rules are, no drugs, and no casual sex (only in a commited relationship). Kids nowadays treat it like it's some fucking cult, or a group of people you have to be with to be cool (read; [fashioncore]). Kids who tell their friends they are Straight Edge, then turn around and go hang with their prep friends to smoke and drink to seem popular with all audiences are not rare and hard-to-come-by when it comes to Straight Edges. They usually imprint X's on their arms for some reason or another with magic marker. More then likely, they feel the need to spread their houlier-then-thou shit eatting attitude. You might want to try [attention whore] for some more info on that. The teens of America have also turned and twisted the rules. Commited relationships to them, is basically a one night stand at their friends house with a girl they just met, where they bust out a condom they stole from their parents cabinet, without realizing the sole reason the condom was there was to prevent another fucking accident, such as themselves. Oh, and drinking caffeine is ok, even though, sXe (as it's called) is another form of veganism, which is breaking those rules itself.

Hey, look at my arm. See those Xs I imprinted on my limb with a Super Sharpie marker? That means I'm Straight Edge LOLOLOLOL\!

Usually meaning over weight, low self esteem, worthless, basically a leech on society, possibly big gay mohawk. These people consider themselves hardcore goth, punk, gangsta yet refuse to do anything mommy doesn't approve of. The men are usually afraid of the vagina or anything that could result in fun or backstabbers, and the women are whores still, they just attempt to hide it. Straight Edge is pathetic, and if you're straight edge, then you need to cut yourself.

Poser:I have an important announcement to make guys...I'm straight edge\! Mommy:That's good sweety, now let's watch Judge Joe Brown and bake cookies. Poser:You know it momma, I'm hardcore X X. Mommy:Watch your language son, it's scaring the puppy. Poser:Sorry mama, let's go party\! Mommy:Too dangerous. Poser:You're right momma, let's just pet puppy.

The term Straight Edge originates from Emoy little fucks who stay home at night and cut themselves (with a straight edge) while their friends are out partying hard. Straight edge "parties" commonly have such entertaining games as pin the tail on the donkey, and who can stay up the longest without succumbing to boredom induced exhaustion; a step up from being a Mormon, but still a mass of displaced losers in society, adhering to another pointless fad. Straight edges rarely go to non-straight edge parties, because they woe to know what they're missing out on.

"Only Good Charlotte and this straight edge understand my plight..."

Somebody who doen't smoke, drink excessively or have sex with someone if it doesn't mean anything to them. Lots of people think it means you don't drink at all but that's not true, people who are straight-edge do get drunk, they just don't LIVE for getting drunk, they don't go out every weekend and drink for the sake of drinking just because everyone else is.
