straight edge

Coined by Ian Mackaye of the band Minor Threat.
It always means
NO
smokes drinks drugs or promiscious sex.
Sometimes it means not consuming meat and caffiene, it varies.
It's about strength as a person.
Usually kids take it too far and can be real asshats about it.
Most edge kids break edge/sell out by the end of their teens.

hatexedgers act like jerks to non-edgers because they are insecure about themselves and think labels like vegan and straight edge make them a better person.

Straight Edge

The term Straight Edge originates from Emoy little fucks who stay home at night and cut themselves (with a straight edge) while their friends are out partying hard. Straight edge "parties" commonly have such entertaining games as pin the tail on the donkey, and who can stay up the longest without succumbing to boredom induced exhaustion; a step up from being a Mormon, but still a mass of displaced losers in society, adhering to another pointless fad. Straight edges rarely go to non-straight edge parties, because they woe to know what they're missing out on.

"Only Good Charlotte and this straight edge understand my plight..."

Straight Edge

A false belief with false promises.

Indulge in the pleasures of the flesh, do not cling to your petty promises of purity and honour, for they do not exist.

This is a belief that human beings shouldn't drink, do drugs or have casual sex. These three things will always exist; you're fighting a losing battle, Straight Edges.

Twist your edge.

The Straight Edge didn't have any fun, he was too cool for it. He was too cool to go out for a drink with his friends, too cool to know what if you're not a complete dick you can enjoy drugs and alchohol without any EXTREMELY derogatory backlash.
