Straight edge (sometimes abbreviated sXe or with XXX or X) is a subculture of hardcore punk where people refrain from using alcohol, tobacco and other recreational drugs, in a reaction to the excesses of punk subculture. For some, this extends to refraining from promiscuous sex, following a vegetarian or vegan diet, and/or not using caffeine or prescription drugs. The term was from the song "Straight Edge" by the hardcore punk band Minor Threat.
Straight edge became a thing in the amid 1980s hardcore punk scene. Since then, a wide variety of beliefs and ideas have been associated with some members of the movement, including vegetarianism and animal rights. While the commonly expressed aspects of the straight edge subculture have been abstinence from alcohol, nicotine, and illegal drugs, there have been considerable variations on how far to take the interpretations of "abstaining from intoxicants" or "living drug-free".

never got me through

one single night this cold
but you know how that goes
or maybe you just really don't
I was a loner until there were no friends left
Before someone offered me drugs, you know i was straight-edge
And everyone's quit until you offer them a cigarette

Edging is a new trend found in comments of videos on TikTok. It is mostly used out of context. Edging is mainly a masturbation technique where someone avoids climaxing to either practice time lasted in sex or just for the more intense orgasm it can cause. This word is used in many TikTok videos out of context in a way where the video is unrelated. Somebody famous could be cooking, playing a game or getting mad, etc, and one or more comments state that they find this content arousing even though it isn't and state they are edging to them.
*streamer getting mad at a game*
*comments*
"I edge to your videos, keep screaming"
-The word Edging may not even be used and the commenter may even state-
"I play with myself to your videos" or "I touch my pp to your videos"
(there already is a definition of Edging but the context of TikTok changes it so I have named this word "Edging (tiktok)"
