Hi Kelly & CBP! Welcome to the board!
Hi I'm Paul.
One quick question, to be classed as straightedge do I have to listen to punk/hardcore. I appreciate that that's where it all began in the early 80s but is it not just a case of abstaining from drink and drugs?
Hello Paul, welcome to the forums. No you do not have to listen to punk/hardcore, since as you mentioned that is where sXe originated from, most people who are sXe tend to be into that genre of music. But anyone can label themselves as sXe, no matter what religion, race, ethnicity, music tastes, food tastes, color of underwear they prefer, it doesn't matter :-). We're just here to all get along.Originally Posted by Neaty
what's the difference between someone that's straight edge and just someone that doesn't drink?
Thank-you for clearing that up for me.
The reason I asked is another forum made it abundantly clear that this had to be the case. I wanted a second opinion.
It's not that I am not into that sort of music, I am just uneducated about it. Music I like is classic rock such as Van Halen, Motley Crue etc.
Anyway, hello everyone. :-)
IMO, not drinking is just that, not drinking. If you claim edge, I believe you need to adhere to the lifestyle that was originally created, no drinking, no drugs, no promiscuity. People who don't drink, could still very well be smokers, or could smoke weed, etc.
The lifestyle is about more than just not drinking or doing drugs though. Someone who's sober is just someone that's sober, that doesn't make them straight edge. Knowing what straight edge doesn't make them straight edge. It's being apart of the subculture that does and the music plays a huge role in that subculture.
I donīt share your taste in music, nor your definition of classic rock probably...and as you have noticed there are some personal (and probably partly regional) differences in defining sxe concerning belonging to a certain music scene, also about sexual philosophy and about being vegan. What unites us is for most also the music, but most importantly a drugfree lifestyle.
Hello and welcome to this forum.
My name is Anthony. I'm from Rapid City, South Dakota. I'm 25 years old and currently I am really into King Fantastic (which you'll find odd I;m sure since it's gangster rap) but lately I've been diving back in Minor Threat, Sick of it all, Rancid and Throwdown. I'm very, very recently straightedge. I used to hang out with "gangsters" and drug dealers and that got me into a whole heap of trouble. Currently on probation for 4 years for possession. I've never done any "hard" drugs but used to smoke marijuana on a regular basis but haven't smoked in nearly two years, Partly because I'm on probation but mainly because I don't like the kinds of people that are involved in that scene. I'm a comic book geek. I love tattoos as well. I don't drink because, well, it's a waste of money and I really hate the way it makes me feel. I still go to bars on rare occasions. Such as Halloween. Which is, by far, my favorite holiday. This year I'm going as Black Mask from Batman. Otherwise I just stay at home and play X-Box or watch movies. I am a former smoker and tobacco chewer. I basically adopted the straight edge lifestyle because of the health reasons and the fact that my entire family are drinkers, smokers and drug users. And I've seen what it does to them. I've followed the sxe lifestyle for years but never really adhered to it. Just knew several edge people and just recently decided to adopt it as my lifestyle.
