So you're going strait edge. But first you'd just like to do some drugs. Sounds like what you really want is...drugs?
Whatever works I guess.

had a lecture given by Ian MacKaye (lead singer of minor threat/fugazi) who inadvertently spawned the "edge" movement via his song "straightedge" which, in reality, wasn't necessarily about not doing drugs or drinking, just that he didnt do drugs or drink and that people shouldnt give each other shit for whatever lifestyle they choose to be a part of.
in fact, he is sick of hearing about the SxE movement
fun factoid

I've never understood being straightedge. If you don't want to do drugs, that's totally cool with me. It's a personal decision. But why go around bragging about it/labeling yourself? That's what I don't get.

Is this actually a sub-culture someplace?
I've never met a straight edge person before.

God, it's pretty much one of the only two lifestyle choices if you're into the whole hardcore music scene. They can be pretty fucking scary at times, too. Like, fucking wreck you pretty bad because you drink or smoke. It's ridiculous. Luckily there weren't too many people that were that fucking terrible in Syracuse.

I don't think there is anything like that around here...

I don't know man, find out where local hardcore bands do their thing and drive by sometime the day of a show. I guarantee you will see all sorts of kids with full sleeves and an X drawn in marker (or even tattooed) on the back of their hands. Then get out of your car with a 40 and a cigarette and fucking rub it in their face.

I may have to check this out.
I am not the least bit afraid of getting beat up by some 16-year old anarchist.

I'm OK with edge people. At least there not hypocrites who drink and smoke then tell me how bad smoking weed is.

I'm not sure who I hate more: Neo-cons or these people.
Karl Buechner, one of the people in the second video, is from Syracuse. His band Earth Crisis was pretty big in that whole movement from my understanding. He's a nice guy, people like him don't bother me, it's the fucking morons who are militant idiots about it that drive me nuts.
Bradmassive: You'd be surprised at how hypocritical they can be at times. I know tons of kids who were edge until they were old enough to drink. Now they're just huge alcoholics.

If you plan on giving up booze why not do it now? You sure its what You really want to do?
The whole 'edge' thing mostly seems like another excuse to belong to a group. Seeing as to how the majority smoke/drink and/or do other drugs, you could start yet another kool-kat-hipster-minority by not doing Anything... other then listening to identical bands, and wearing identical shit clothes ;p
btw. I don't ever drink or smoke anymore. No need to going a group to do so.

Its actually really annoying when they feel the need to preach to me.
"fuck drugs dude!"
How about leave me alone instead. I'll make the decisions for my own life thank you very much.
