Straight Edge

Somebody who doen't smoke, drink excessively or have sex with someone if it doesn't mean anything to them.
Lots of people think it means you don't drink at all but that's not true, people who are straight-edge do get drunk, they just don't LIVE for getting drunk, they don't go out every weekend and drink for the sake of drinking just because everyone else is.

Straight Edge

Started by Ian Mackaye, the lead singer of Minor Threat. Edge kids wore X's on thier hands. The rules of Straight Edge was that you did not have one night stands, you did not drink any form of alcohol, you did not do drugs and you did not smoke. The earlier skinheads were mostly Straight Edge.
Minor Threat was a Straight Edge band. Ian Mackaye amazingly also had a strong part in the creation of emo, except in his time itwas called emocore.

Man that punk kid just called me straight edge. I'm gonna go on urban dictionary and make the very definition of the word a personal defense for myself and my boring ass lifestyle.

Straight Edge

Straight edge was invented by a song from the band Minor Threat in the early 80's. It was all started by one line in a 45 second song, I've got the straight edge. It was invented in Washington DC and was brought up to Boston by a guy named Al Bareal he invented hardline. Straight edge has three simple rules no drinking, no drugs, and no smoking. Hardline is much like straight edge but has more rules than just no drinking, no smoking, and no drugs. No caffine, have to be a vegetarian or vegan, no sex unless it's procreation, no imported chocolate, no porn, no masterbating are some of the other rules. There are two types of straight edge lifestyles the positive an the militant. Boston is known for it's militant type edge, Boston Beatdown. Straight Edge is a lifestyle not a label. It is a new generation. Here is the real history and def of straight edge.
There is no example either your straight edge or not

straight edge sex

Straight edge sex takes place between two people, one or both of whom are straight edge, who have sex because they care for one another rather than because it is available.

Contrary to what has been written, straight edge - see also straightedge and sxe - people do often have premarital sex (though some do not), but abstain from casual sex without a committed relationship and/or deep emotional bond with the person they are having sex with.
Straight edge sex is an expression of love between two people, not just a "good time" with an acquiantance.
