x REMEMBER STRAIGHT EDGE? x

Remember your friend who was straight edge & had the screen name "Xx ______ xX" because "X _____ X" was taken?


"Straight edge refers to a lifestyle and scene that started within the hardcore punk subculture whose adherents abstain from alcohol, smoking, and other recreational drug use. There is considerable debate over what constitutes a straight edge lifestyle, and some adherents may also abstain from caffeine, psychiatric medication and promiscuity, or follow a vegetarian or vegan diet."


The letter "X" is the most prevalent symbol of straight edge. Commonly it is worn as a marking or tattoo on the back of one or both hands, though it can be displayed on other body parts as well. Some followers of straight edge have also incorporated the symbol into clothing and pins.

Thank god this is over the for the most part in life. Over as in I don't have to see kids walking around with X's on the back of their hands, etc.Save for the few stragglers who only wrote EDGE on their public myspaces after seeing To Catch A Predator.

Are st8 edge and , Hardcore kids one and the same? Both them shits are annoying as hell.Its still popular in nowheresville towns in america and europe. Untill they move to the 'big city' and start listening to Ed Banger.

Maybe I'm just pointing out the obvious, and maybe Portland isn't the only city that does this, but this is how it works:Str8 edge kids=scene/punk kids, but let's not get the punkrs into this.Scene kids eventually turn into indie kids created by the mall.Indie kids created by the mall eventually turn into legit hipsters.Legit hipsters eventually drop the indie rawk to start listening to electronic music.I'm only a few steps ahead of the current str8 edgers.

those X's are making it hard to read your drivel. and why are you straight edgers turning to violence? killing people doesn't make you hardcore, it makes you WORSE than the druggies. killing and drugs can both land you in jail, and neither of them accomplish anything. besides, X's will just make people think you're really into ecstasy. i can respect people who abstain from drugs and alcohol, as i do myself, but putting the label of "straight edge" on yourself and going around beating up druggies cuz you think you're god doesnt change SHIT. so go ahead and try to kill me, but you don't know where i live.

Helion; I am pretty sure that those "straight-edgers" were just people mocking the straight-edge lifestyle.
