explaining straightedge
24_hour_revenge_therapy:
sooo, i noticed in a thread earlier to this (musicians you have an irrational hatred for) that alot of you REALLY didn't like straightedge, or straightedge kids, or straightedge bands. you seemed to have a LOT of misconceptions, probably due to having to deal with BAD BAD sxe kids. weeeelll, heres your chance to learn about it from someone who knows. i'm 23 years old, i'm straightedge and have been for five years now, i am in a crew (x24x out of pheonix, az), i'm into hardcore, i'm vegan, and i don't hate anyone, really. i can understand people really not knowing about it, especially if the only sxe kids they've met are fifteen and not really into the life. so, ask me questions. i'll answer them for you, as best i can. i'm not the sxe ambassador or anything, i'm just trying to help people understand me and my friends a little better.

So what you are saying is you're a moron?
Edit:Sorry that was rude, but really I couldn't help it.
My question is...why don't you eat choclate, or fucking drink pop!
Why can't you be like how straight edge was started out! You know instead of taking it to the fucking extreme and being fucking idiots about it.
If you don't know how straight edge used to be, it used to be just staying away from hardcore drugs. They'd still drink, and get down.

ok, well, first off, i don't drink pop because i'm allergic to corn syrup. my friends drink pop though, and i LOOOVE coffee. as for chocolate, i was actually eating semi-sweet (vegan) chocolate chips straight from the bag this afternoon. so, basically, that makes no sense. and, i would like to point out that i'm being pretty reasonable, and not attacking or detracting from anyone, so please keep the insults out of this.
secondly, well, my personal reason...is personal. i don't drink. i don't smoke/do drugs. i don't sleep with any girl i meet. that's straightedge. and how it "used to be" doesn't matter, because that's how it is now.
ok, next question?

No, being straight edge has always been about abstaining from recreational drugs. There were some people in early bands who were/said they were (however you want to cut it) edge and didn't, but the idea was always abstinance really for those who made it into a movement/lifestyle (in other words, not Ian Mackaye).
A question then... what the hell does a crew do, and where did you shop for it?
