Even after 20+ years since the name was coined, Straight Edge continues to be one of the most controversial sub-cultures and ideas that have been derived from Punk Rock.
What Is Straight Edge?
Well.... that's a tough one, son.
What's with all the Xs? Do you all really like Porn?
Uh, no.
Do Straight Edgers beat up non-Straight Edgers?
Just like any sub-culture, there are going to be total fools that miss the entire point of what the sub-culture is about. These people have no heart, conviction, or honor (yet sing along to the atrocious amount of SxE hardcore songs about those subjects), and are only trying to prove how "cool" and "hip" they are. You should discount these people completely (or take the high road and try to educate them, which is VERY preferrable, but harder), whether you are Straight Edge or not. They will not stick with it.
Different Kids of Straight Edge?
