pretty much a choice to live life without habit forming activities. The most common of these is no drinking, no drugs and no casual sex. Most sxe kids go to shows in groups together, and mark their hands with big black "X"s to represent they don't drink and volunteer to put the X on their hand. They also two-step and hardcore dance, which is common especially at Straight Edge shows! I personally live by the straight edge lifestyle, and it probably saved my life.
emogirl-"like omg do you see those kids whatre they doing?"
sxeboy-"they're stepping, duh."
emogirl-"rofl i should have seen the X's on their hands XD

Straight Edge- a lifestyle choice that I knew about as a teenager in the 90's more or less pertaining to the abstinence from alcohol, drugs and meat.

sXe-When asked c. 1996 by then peers what I thought it meant, I replied: "it means sex." to which they snickered. Probably b/c it has the same letters as 'sex' and the big 'X' in the middle made me think of x rated. Apparently I never made the connection until now. I stand corrected. Thanks UD.
Matt's sXe; he's vegetarian, and he doesnt drink or do drugs.

Straight Edge. Toxin Free. Purist. Crutchless. Take your pick. NO drugs, No Drink, No Fuck!
sXe is a lifestyle and a total commitment to purism of the body, and hence the mind.

to the morons that tried to be hardcore over the freakin internet and said that straight edge people are only emo and think they are better than everyone else, "you are really retarted" just cause someone is edge doesnt mean their emo and doesnt mean they think their better than people who do drugs and drink, im straight edge because i want to have a clean life, not be better than you guys, i even hang around people who do that stuff and i dont look down on them a bit, my friends are the coolest guys to hang with, please give up this stereotypic lifestyle and try to understand soemthing before talkin shit
being sxe is the only way for me

abbrev. for straight-edge. straight-edge is a movement of people who want to retain prudish christian systems of morality but portray themselves as "badass" at the same time. not all straight-edgers are violent, but violence certainly isn't one of the things a sXer takes a vow against.

they generally fall into one of two categories:

1. prudish sXe- these are the non-violent ones that are content to feel self-righteous about upholding a christian lifestyle (even though sXe is "not" christian).

2. nazi sXe- the ones that kick people's asses because they do drugs. yeah that makes sense, personal freedom is a bad thing, but beating the shit out of people who disagree with your set of ideals is just great.
"i was just trying to enjoy a beer when this group of 20 sXe kids surrounded me, smashed my beer and pinned me down as they beat the shit out of me and cut me with the broken bottle!! fuckin sXe nazis, don't they have anything better to do, like blow up an abortion clinic?"

People who seem to want to ignore all the pleasures available to them in life. And don't seem to realise that even sugar is a drug. Makes about as much sense as christianity but, shockingly, actually manages to be less fun.
Don't preach to me until you've taken the time to actually experience drugs yourself.

"Straight Edge"
Another word associated with self-proclaimed trendy "scene" kids who feel as if they're doing the world a favor by choosing to rub their lifestyle in everybody's faces. The "x" has absolutely no relative or necessary meaning to the term, but apparently it does. Fucking idiots.
Hey guys! Check me out: I'm sXe! Look at my utter superiority and uniqueness! What, you don't give a fuck? I guess I'll just dismiss you as incompetent, and I'll continue to be an illogical, whiney, and uptight douchebag. Cool.
