Spin kicks and two-step
What four sxe hxc bands, past or present, would you like to see play a show together?
7 seconds, Minor Threat, Gorilla Biscuits, AFI; I would say their older music when they were considered eastbay hardcore. Albums such as very proud of ya and Answer That and Stay Fashionable. Minor threat did break up and decide not to be sXe anymore and there is fugazi. Im sure you knew that.
I do want to say that I am NOT sXe. I do not do drugs. I did them for years and started at an extremely young age. I did not have a clue about any bands like Minor Threat or any sXe bands or people. Most of the people I have seen with sXe tattoos are pushing needles in to the tattoos cause they are junkies.
I do not want to do drugs at all and my body has been clean of drugs for seven years. I am interested in the sXe lifestyle and I suppose that is why I am here?
I do still smoke but I don’t want to be laying in the gutter shitfaced in my own vomit. I did that to much.
that's awesome that you've been able to make such a dramatic change and stick with it.Quote:

I don't really get it...
A lot of new users are "Curious About The Edge.."
You can't learn it! It's who you are.. ! If you wan't to know WTH it is.. then read a wikipedia article..
or they can come here and read stuff and learn in a more active way thats better than a wikipedia article =)Quote:

Wait. They actually have those in the UK?! =oQuote:

Well perhaps if you were more forth coming and helpful to people not in the know about straightedge you may begin to see more hardcore bands playing! And for the record there are no hardcore clubs here either, just venues that can one night have a hardcore show then a week later have an indie pop outfit playing...the only reason hardcore shows exist is because kids like you or i want to have them and put them on. So if someone is asking you about straightedge and stuff you should see that as an oppertunity to make the scene more vibrant!Quote:

Whats local i mean the UK is pretty small so i'm sure you are near something going on.Quote:

Anyway, Hi Guys! :D
I've been Straight-Edge about a year now, although I have never drunk alcohol, smoked or taken drugs. I guess I've only been Straight-Edge for a year, because it was only a year ago that I heard of Straight-Edge (CM Punk FTW) and found out what it was. I read about it (thank you Wikipedia) and thought "hey... that's basically what I do anyway".
My Interests are sort of Nerdy/Goth - I like Evanescence, the Dresden Dolls, Apple Computers and Star Trek.
My user-name comes from the way I dress btw; lol - I'm not an ACTUAL Pirate, but I do dress in frilly shirts and sort-of Pirate-y boots :P
Hi, welcome, so did you find out much about hardcore a year ago or is that why you are here? There are some great threads about hardcore bands on here and it really is a crucial part of straightedge.Quote:

I have basically only heard one band that I can remember... Minor Threat? Maybe? I dunno, I can't remember. I seem to remember it being a bit overly heavy for my tastes , like I said it was the kind of thing I could enjoy for a while, but then get bored of and have to listen to something else later.
Hmmm, if you think minor threat is overly heavy then i'm not sure what to suggest, i wouldn't really consider them heavy. Stock bands that seem to be favoured by pretty much everyone in the straightedge community are:Quote:

Sorry, I'm not sure I meant heavy, I often listen to Deicide and Mayhem which I guess much heavier, but yeah... I probably meant something else.Quote:

You really should, the music is what makes straightedge what it is, its more than just avoiding drugs, to be straightedge is largely about the music.Quote:

So , all this mob of 1,000,000 ( ~ population of riga ) - 14-50 edgers.. and they start asking... It's not like they will pass it on , they will say " ask that guy , he told me " to their friends .
I think you completely missed the point. I'll try again, so theres no bands? but 4 or 5 bands is not none and scenes start small all over the place, i don't see what stops you getting bands from other places to play in your town and in return the 4 or 5 bands from your town could play in other places to make things more interesting and expand on the idea of building a scene. Thats what everyone else in the world does.Quote:

I answered questions and told people what was up and people then had a much better idea of things, they got much more from speaking with me than you could get out of a wikipedia page. People usually ask because they are interested, i'm unsure as to what "seeing a straightedger" has to do with anything. Some of the people who i spoke with later became edge themselves which was supprising to me, some people simply evaluated their stance on drugs and things which lead to change in one way or another. I wasn't intentionally converting people or preaching about straightedge i was just simply honest, open and helpful to people with genuine interest. I mean if i had your attitude these uneducated people would remain in the dark about what straightedge is and to add to it they would think i was a bit rude and associate that with straightedge.
But with all that said i do understand that people can just continually ask annoying questions that aren't thoughtful in the slightest and it can be bothersome. Some people will want to just argue and talk nonsense with you and it serves no purpose but you shouldn't judge everyone based on how those people bevhave because those people are generally idiots that waste your time but theres always going to be people who are more genuine.

Submitting my masters thesis in (checks calendar) 9 days, and getting married in less than 3 months to the guy I've been dating for 7 years (and who is also edge). I'm a dork, I'm not hot, and I'm not particularly cool. But I'm up for anything, enjoy a good debate, and have a lot of fun with life.
How old are you? 23
Where are you from? This is kinda complicated. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, USA. Then I moved to Northern Ireland, then back to the states to finish my degree, then I moved to Glasgow, Scotland. So at the moment, I live in Scotland, although I'm (unhappily) returning to America in a month.
List some bands you are into at the moment.
-I'm on a ska kick at the moment. Been enjoying some Toots and the Maytals lately, and rediscovering a Pittsburgh band called The Code, and Whatever It Takes. Not specifically edge, but still good choons.
What is the last record you bought?
-geez...um...wow..it has been a while...I guess it was the Young, Gifted and Black compilation (the first one...its all old reggae and ska and soul).
Choose either pile ons and sing alongs or spin kicks and two-step? I'm a pile ons and sing alongs gal myself.
What four sxe hxc bands, past or present, would you like to see play a show together?
H20 (kinda grew up on them)
Good Clean Fun
Youth of Today (I had a tape that I used to play in my red plastic radio wayyy back in middle school)
Minor Threat (just for the craic really).
hey there, welcome!Quote:
