don't drink/smoke/take recreational drugs or have sex outside a commited relationship.

then there's "harldline" or whatever where you won't take medication (so...any form of drug)


for the record, I'm neither.
Just something you constantly have too hear about when you like heavy music.

Straight Edge is a movement spawned within the hardcore scene in the '80s. Its followers have made a commitment to abstain from using drugs, alcohol and tobacco products.

Is the term straight edge something that you use to sort of feel stronger, like a team all saying no (in a good way!)
Just curious as to why you say straight edge instead of just saying 'I don't drink, smoke or take drugs'?
Serious question out of curiosity

I was brought up in bad area where friends and family members got addicted to drugs and alcohol , everyone in my family smokes. I didnt want be apart of that or turn out like any of them . So i chose to leave a clean life where i could have a clear mind and think straight and be pure. Also when i have kids i want my kids to be brought up in a family knowing it ok not to do any of them things .

Well ive been listening to hardcore since i was about 15 and straight edge came from one the main bands i listen to, the words they spoke and things they said made me want to live a pure life. I never felt like i ever fitted in anywhere till i meet kids that felt the same way as me .. most my friends are straight edge , but i use to also fail at everything and this thing is the one thing in my life that i stuck to and it has kept me strong. As stupid as most people proberly think it is , but straight edge gave me the will to live . It made a better person and a proud person, it a possitive thing that made me love everyday of my life .

Sax don't you dare google this for me lol....

I totally would have if I'd caught this thread in time.

I guess technically I have been straight edge for a few years without even knowing what it was. I don't do any of those things but just because I'm a nerd and I just think they're bad for you...
