Join Date: May 2006 | I was talking to someone in the pub last night who described himself as being 'straight edge'. He said he doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, doesn't do drugs, is opposed to abortion and is a hardcore vegan. He said it was some sort of hardcore music movement.
Now I'm trying not to be judgmental, but I couldn't help but find it a little bit weird. I started to wonder does that show us something about our society? Perhaps straight edginess should be the 'normal' way to be. Whats thoughts? |  | |

Join Date: May 2006 | Seemed a bit boring. I noticed the guy wasn't drinking so I asked him if he was driving when he suddenly started talking passionately about this straight edge thing.
If it wasn't for the five pints I'd already drank I think I'd have died of boredom. | | | |

I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs, but doesn't mean I want to be straight edge. That sounds awfully pompous.

See thats the thing, I know a few people who don't drink, smoke or do drugs but I never really realised there was a movement of people who have this as part of their living. I really felt like I was being judged for drinking as well, as if there is something immoral about it. | | | |

Sounds like a s*** life. 
I think they have this idea that they have fun without drugs and things to make it good.
f*** it though, I like my beer. | | | |

I thought Straight Edge was only no drinking, smoking or drugs. I never heard of the vegan and anti-abortion aspect of it. 
I was about to post this exact same thought.

I'm totally a crooked corner. I'm currently looking for a roach to bong.
