No holmes, you got your facts wrong. sXe was created as a reaction to
punk, not a subculture of it. It's only been in the last few years with
the sudden "rebirth" of punk that the two got linked. While punk died
in the 80s hardcore and straight edge thrived. Some of us were
around when it was just sXe. sXe isn't about rebellion, it never was.
It's about doing what's right. It's about fighting addiction. It's about
hardcore. It's not about what you wear. You call for unity, but at the
same time alienate those that aren't like you? How the fuck does that
solve anything? I could give two shits about what color your hair is or
what you have pierced. Those things mean nothing. All sXe kids have 2
thing in common, a love for hardcore, and a straight lifestyle. All else
is arbitrary bullshit. Who the fuck are you to tell the people who aren't
like you that because they wear addidas that they don't belong in the
scene? Those are the kids that helped keep the scene alive long enough
for you to find. You're the one who needs to wake up kid.

yeah, but I wasn't a stupid teen. I didn't say all teens were stupid. just the vast majority.

[xvunderx]

I was a stupid teen. But it was all a learning experience.
