seeking Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 drink the blood: i understand what your saying, but there is a huge difference between being racist, and making jokes about being straight edge. being straight edge is something you choose for yourself, not something that is chosen for you. its no different than making jokes about people that ride rollerblades, drive souped up hondas or wear pink tights. they probably believe in what they're doing too, it probably is as big of a part of their life as sXe is to you. basically, my whole shit is... do wht you want, but dont hide behind the shield of labels and say your being strong.

dukeofyork Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 all this talk about choosing and chose...ha ha.. i wouldnt call myself straight edge, but thats cause about 3 years ago i sold out for maybe 2 months..... havent had anything to drink or smoke or anything since then..... and i havent had a bit of fun the past 3 years... yea, right.

Guest got tha feva Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 If you aren't now you never were, right? .... I never was for 4 years of my life. I think it's a lot cooler when someone isn't straight edge, but has more hobbies than just getting fucked up. Moderation is key to everything... straight edge is kindof one extreme to the other. But I think it was a movement that really helped out the DIY hardcore/punk scene... from what I hear it used to be a bunch of booze hounds and heroin addicts, and now it's a bunch of art fags and kickboxers. I don't meet that many sxe kids anymore, but I think the whole Ian McKay philosophy kindof stuck in everyone's head. The part about having better things to do.. Drugs are great and all, but there's so much more our there, I just hate to see people get caught up in one thing for too long. Be it sXe or substances.

LeopoldBloom Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Ahh yes, the good old sXe issue... I feel like I'm in high school all over again. For real though, this is right up my alley (for once). Livein g in upstate NY for 90% of my life (read: Syracuse/Buffalo "Straight edge capitals of the world") I was rocking the Xs for my entire young life. I never did that militant shit but I had my proverbial "pride" even though I was, literally, the only sXe kid in my school. Time passes and I learn that I understand myself and my body enough to partake of the drink without becoming a lush. That was 5 years ago and I think I'm a better person now than I was then. Straightedge is a great thing, especially when you're young... in fact, I think ALL kids should be. But, I also son't have a problem with having a good time with drinking (or even the low-key drugs)... but not until you get a grasp of your maturity and understand how the shit will affect you. True till 21, son. Actually, I think I was 22. Man, the good old days of Path of Resistance... ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DITDxCULT Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 I have been straight edge for almost 10 years. I don't shove my opinions in other people's faces, nor do I look down on people for having a vice such as alcohol, weed etc. I am just proud to be drug free, and proud to be into hardcore music. It's just how I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Dubyah Bush Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Questions for the Sxe people......... Alright i've never partaken in drugs or alcohol, but i never considered the SxE thing until i started listening and going to hardcore shows. I never really payed attention to the Sxe movement till now, so........ Questions: 1. yeah , what are the guidelines to being straight edge: No drugs, no alcohol, no sex?.....what bout prescription drugs? Medicine? 2. Do those hate edge people really do stupid shit like that ( ask for a cigarette then punch you,) i 've never physically encountered with one of them. just seen a bunch of those dudes hanging out during shows. well thats it peace.

A Fire Inside Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 I've got the Straight Edge. It's not a matter of being better than you or anyone. I only have two friends that are also Straight Edge. It's simply a choice that I made, to label myself, when I was in 8th grade. I'm out of High School now and still hold true to the Edge. It's not a matter of being in a "social club" or to get some scene points, it's just part of me and who I am. Word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 drink the blood, i wasnt at all trying to say that you were that way at all. but you cant deny that the majority of straight edge kids need the label to stay sober. they need to scream about it, in order to belong and to not cave in. not everyone is this way of course. i have some very good friends who chose not to drink or do drugs, but also feel no desire to make it the crux of their existence. my basic stance on straight edge is this: if NOT doing something is that important to you, perhaps you need something a little more exciting TO DO. people being clean is a great thing, but people thinking their path of living is for everyone, is close minded. and again, im not making acusations against you, im just speaking in general, of the experiences ive had with straight edge kids in the past. many of which were my friends.

"my basic stance on straight edge is this: if NOT doing something is that important to you, perhaps you need something a little more exciting TO DO." as for needing something better to do, i don't know anyone who spends their saturday afternoon, "being straight edge." it doesn't work like that. it's like being short or tall or having blonde hair. it's not an activity, it's a part of your life. i have plenty to do. i take pictures, i have a job, i put up wheatpastes, my days are full. in fact, my days are way too full to spend time drinking, [unless it's root beer or blood]. "people being clean is a great thing, but people thinking their path of living is for everyone, is close minded". we're totally agreed on this one. like i said, i don't know anyone who honestly wants this. as far as i'm concerned, people shouldn't do ANYTHING they don't want to. if someone is interested in straight edge, they'll find out what they need to know. straight edge kids aren't mormons for christ's sake! i personally have better shit to do then hunt down people and beg them to be straight edge.
