Straight edge, sXe came out of the punk scene. Minor Threat wrote a song called Straight Edge, which entails no drinking, smoking or drugs. In another song called Out of Step, they elaborate and add on no permiscuous sex.
Quite a few sXe and HC kids are Vegan and Vegetarian also, "poison free".
The universal symbol for this musical movement is an X or XXX as well as XXX with two lines below it, as well as three sailing stars on the hand right by the thumb.
Music, hardcore, HC plays a large role in straightedge, sXe. There is more to sXe, straight edge than not drinking, smoking, doing drugs or having permiscuous sex...it is about music! And some would argue that permiscuous sex shouldn't be included.
Some kids have taken sXe further and are what is known as "Hardline."

STRAIGHT EDGE

I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and fuck my head
Hang out with the living dead
Snort white shit up my nose
Pass out at the shows
I don't even think about speed
That's something I just don't need
I've got the straight edge
I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and smoke dope
'Cause I know I can cope
Laugh at the thought of eating ludes
Laugh at the thought of sniffing glue
Always gonna keep in touch
Never want to use a crutch
I've got the straight edge
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
OUT OF STEP
(i) don't smoke
don't drink
don't f**k
at least i can f**king think
i can't keep up
i can't keep up
i can't keep up
out of step with the world
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A subculture of ignorant, faggy teenagers who believe that spreading their beliefs through violence and fascism is cool.

A lifestyle choice often used to show how hardcore you are, and therefore better than all the rest of us poor sinners.

A bunch of hypoctitical dicks with inferiority complexes that say they dont drink, smoke, or have premarital sex but, still hang out at the bars I frequent to start fights with people who do those things. People defined as straight edge usually hate their dads, or have small penises, or both. The ones with no visible tattos usually become cops for that very reason.

To avoid everything good in life and suffer by yourself or with your other straight edge shit cunts. You don't have fun, or know what it is, obviously.
