straight-edge 

Ideals invented by Ian MacKaye. Primarily focuses on maintain a pure body and conscience by abstaining from drugs and alcohol. Promotes monogomous relationships (not mariage) and a vegetarian diet (although this is not essential). Ian MacKaye went so far as to shave his head but no one does this as a sign of their devotion anymore. Early straight-edgers could be identified by 'X's tattoed into their hands.

Straight-edge used to mean something. Now you see kids who shop at Hot Topic using Sharpies to draw 'X's on their hands.

straight-edge 

Group about not doing any mind altering substances, such as marijuana, shrooms, acid, and ecstasy. See: close minded.

sXe (straight-edge) kid: DRUGS ARE SO BAD DONT DO EM, THEYLL RUIN YOUR LIFE!!!!!

intelligent person: No, actually, thats not true at all. if you have self control, you can live a normal life, while doing things like acid and mushrooms, on weekends when you have no responsibilities to fulfill. Being irresponsible about drugs can and will be unhealthy for you, but if you aren't an idiot, you'll be fine. People needa stop judging others. Live and let live.

Straight-edge 

People who are straight-edge listen to hardcore music and abstain from the use of drugs or alcohol.

People who are straight-edge like to base their whole schtick off of the fact that they are straight edge because for some reason they think it is such and accomplishment to listen to hardcore music and not do drugs at the same, like that is somehow seemingly impossible. They think that they’re so cool for not doing drugs even though most of the world doesn’t do them either.

Straight-edge people are very insecure and so label themselves as straight edge to try to fit in and have a social group to belong to because they are so utterly unlikable.

Look at those straight-edge pussies hardcore dancing over there like bumbling fucking idiots.

Straight-Edge 

Defines the biggest fans of Good-Charlotte. As long as you're punk, wear black everyday, and listen to the GC, straight-edge applies to you.

Gena Faust is so straight-edge. You won't miss <i>her</i> rocking out at the next GC tour.

straight-edge 

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

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.
