Does everyone here agree that being straight edge is the dumbest thing since Men Without Hats? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, it's not dumb, it's just the choice of some people not to use any drugs, and as long as they don't have an attitude about it, it's totally okay. |
||||||||

I love Fugazi, Meat Beat Manifesto and Consolidated so there :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think its totally ridiculous |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
somebody care to tell me the definition of 'straight edge' ? i've heard of it but i dont really remember. i'm also missing the meaning of 'men without hats' if there is one. damn sundays |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sex? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know a "straight edge " EMO kid, who is tryin to be a player..... That is rediculous...... fuckin hypocrite... being strait edge isnt that stupid..... i dont really care |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

What is ridculous about it? Do you not like the music or the movement? Things can seem stupid a decade later, its like Farrah Fawcet Hairdos straight edge is product of the late 80's early nineties and it was a reaction/backlash against the Nazi skinheads who are ridculous... |
||||||||

It has some good points. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think it's stupid. It's a lifestyle choice. I don't personally practice it, and I really can't stand the music that's associated with sXe, but hey, you're not hurting anyone (and it's a healthier way to live, too). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Straight edge is basically not using any alcohol, drugs, or having any promiscuous sex. Might be some other stuff too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's silly to call yourself straight edge seems to reduce it to a shallow fad subgroup instead of just something you want to do |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeh, exactly. it seems to me a solution for people who are so insecure they feel desperate to fit into some social group, im sure most of the time these people you see calling themselves sXe don't really agree with it, they just think its cool or something |
||||||||

I think being vegetarian is also included... but I am not sure. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whatever floats your boat. |
||||||||
|
|

A lot of Straight Edge people are vegetarian, but in the 'origingal definition' (as far as there is an original definition) it was most definately not included, although Ian McKaye, from minor threat who wrote the song "the straight edge", is a vegetarian. |
||||||||

|
|
i'm "straight edge". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
huh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fuck that. |
||||||||
|
|

parrdon me... i meant to say WTF!!!???!!! |

"no, it's not dumb, it's just the choice of some people not to use any drugs, and as long as they don't have an attitude about it, it's totally okay." what Morgoth said |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm not surre i agrree. i think it is lame that they can't simply accept that they don't want to do it, and instead have to invent a shit name forr it, a 'crrew' to be in. and even worrse you can't even say it. sXe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who cares |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nah, they just make this shit up to scare people like me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the name's easily the worst bit. sXe is too close to phonetic sexy for my liking. how ironic |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm prretty pissed off overr the whole thing at the moment, i have to be honest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, what a stupid name, never heard of it, i thought "straight edge" was stupid, being all tough being a vegetarian, i'm a vegetarian and i'm a wus (how's that spelled) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm a veggie as well and i don't think i could be less militant about it. sorry to be all intolerant n shit but seriously, fuck sXe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but understand their reaction to an entire culture that completely accepts drugs/alcohol/sex it's all lame. living to be part of ANY scene is lame, that is why it's so hard to like rock music now. still, if they don't force it on you, let them have their style |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I choose to not drink or do drugs, but I'm not part of any "scene". It's just a lifestyle choice. I don't identify with a particular subculture like the sXe's do. It's like any social group. People want to be accepted by other people who have the same interests and opinions. That's why we are members of this messageboard. A lot of people don't listen to the music we love and its nice to have a place to come to to talk about it. Same with sXe; it's an incredible minority in this world, and you always get shit for not choosing to take part in stuff, so thats why they have formed their little clique. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sure, but you have groups and groups. though i always felt myself to special to be in a group, i think some groups are cooler than others (i like goth's now, they're sweet). i dont like the 'i'm left and militant about it'-group, though, like squaders, too. i think that's terribly hypocrit |
||||||||

I'm very straight-edge in my behavior... no sex, drugs or rock and/or roll here. Church every Sunday, cat lover... you can see my halo. But within me is a deviant darkness, God help you and yours if I ever reach my potential. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
kewl, let's start a clique |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the music is amazing, but the 'movement' is bullshit. Lots of good music is straight edge, check out Bane, Throwdown, Eighteen Visions and about a zillion other bands |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and for the record Ophecks, sxe kids don't go to church. Most hate god. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i didn't know what the term meant until i entered this thread (thx for the definition xlr), but if it means to be free of drugs, alcohol, & sex, then i fall under that classification. otherwise, i'm really just following my own lifestyle and not trying to mock some trendy fashion or whatever. |
||||||||
|

|
|
I don't have gf in which im loyal too and i look down upon people who abuse alcohol and drugs. Does that make me sXe? who knows? Who cares? Dat's me! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
looks like we're in the same boat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
SHIT! I mean I HAVE a gf in which im loyal too. ooops I love her. =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've never heard of this before. I don't do drugs, by I think drug laws are ridiculous. I don't wear that on my sleeve or try to be part of a scene about it. So I think this sXe thing is fuckin ridiculous too. Fuck sXe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What drugs have you used? and what did you like/disslike about them? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sXe = straight edge = not doing drugs, not drinking, only sexxing people you care about |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's not stupid, it's a good thing that more and more kids are feeling a sense of unity with others that feel the same way they do about drugs/promiscuity/whatever...It's used as a label not to be a fad (although some treat it that way, but fuck them), but rather for convenience and as i said, a sense of unity. I don't really call myself that, but I'm basically straightedge i just don't go to hard/metal/grindcore shows.........yet. |

Drugs I've done = alcohol, a valium prescribed to my cat. That's it. I have no problems whatsoever with drugs, except when they are abused. Why don't I smoke pot? Because it is something that although there have been plenty of opportunities for me to try it, I just have not wanted to take on another vice. At this point, at 29 years old, I just don't think I need it. Just a personal choice. However, I sorta wish alcohol and marijuana were reversed in today's society. There are a number of reasons: > People high on grass are by and large much more chill and harmless than people high on booze. > Drunks are much more dangerous and practice much worse judgement than people on pot. > Pot seems like a better drug to be on than booze for the sake of creativity. > Booze makes you gain weight. > I'm sick and tired of seeing TV commercials showing the evils of pot back to back with beer commercials, when the number of alcohol-related deaths must easily quadruple the number of drug related deaths. > etc. I'd trade if it didn't stand a chance of losing me my job. |

I wish people would stop trying to label and pigeonhole everything and everybody. It's just marginalization waiting to happen. Yesterday I had no idea; today I just think of sXe as another foolish gaggle of losers looking for a niche in the next episode of Dawson's Creek. |

i totally agree with you on the alcohol/weed thing...except the possibility of weed secondhand smoke thing... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also agree on the alcohol/weed debacle. Listen to bill hicks talk about the subject, its' funny and true. |

Was he the one that said all writers are alcoholics and not potheads, because nobody wants to read a poem about twinkies? |
