straight edge
    #6656719 - 03/10/07 07:35 PM (17 years, 22 days ago)

so im talking to an old friend of mine on MSN today she brings up this band she likes thats "edge". I ask what that is and she then explains to me this new trend out there in the hardcore scene where certain bands say they are straight edge (dont do drugs) and promote the idea. They even have logos on their merchandise.

I just laughed my ass off...couldn't believe it.

New trend?

Straight-edge is pretty old, isn't it?

Straight edge is faaaaaar from a new trend, in the hardcore scene or elsewhere. Being "edge" in the "scene" has been around for as long as I had ever been involved in it, and it's always been fucking annoying. Especially when it's people who are too young to drink or smoke (like I was/am) and only do it until they're old enough to legally consume alcohol. That's the biggest bitch move ever.

Oh and some of those bands shouldn't really be on that list, but either way, I hate bands that are elite in their straight edge ways. It's cool to be straight edge, that's fine, but please don't be an asshole to me and try and force your often hypocritical ideas on me.

Straight edge has been around since 1982 or so, when Ian Mackaye wrote a hardcore punk song called "straight edge" about living a positive proactive life rather than the waste case "live hard, die young" type life advertised in the late 70's punk scenes.

Nothing wrong with bein' straight and active.

Great bands that practice the etho's include fugazi, minor threat, embrace and dag nasty.

However, current "edge" politics and scenes have nothing to do with the original meaning behind the song.

I agree, its bullshit - but there's cool kids, however, anyone with a switch blade or brass knuckle tattoo or shirt - is most likely a tool.

I can proudly say I converted a straight edge guy to the wonderful world o' weed. It wasn't easy...it took 6 months of convcing and a spring break midnight hotel crash.

The best thing about edge kids is they're easy to convert. I mean that in the sense that any edge kid I or someone I know has managed to get them to drink or smoke is sold immediately. I have never met an edge kid who drank or smoked and then stayed edge, they realize their beliefs are less fun than doing drugs haha. The challenge is getting them to do it in the first place.

it's so often that straight-edgers deny drugs and violence when they in fact have no experience whatsoever in them. it's just a bunch of people who believe what theyre told about the harmful myths of drug-use.

then again, it's totally ok for them to try to be as 'healthy' as possible in whatever way they think works...so long as they dont push it on anyone else or judge people who are different than them.

but why are straight-edgers so into tattoos?

I think Bad Religion is straight edge and they're probably the best punk band ever. I could care less if a band is straight edge or not. They can promote their views just like everyone else can/should.

Nah, they're hardcore about not doing drugs or getting laid.

They might have sex with girlfriends, but they don't fuck whatever swamp donkey comes their way.
