A movement started in the early 80's from the hardcore punk scene. Basically it means to be drug free.
One major note: you can't be edge if you have more than three bedrooms in your house.

1) "Dude, the school newspaper did an article about that straight edge kid. He's pretty cool."
"Yeah, but he's got more than three bedrooms in his house, so he's a FAKIE."
2) "Dude...that edge kid has four bedrooms in his house!"
"WHAT WOULD IAN MCKAYE SAY!!?!?!?!?"

Get the straight edge mug.Once affiliated with the conservative element of the punk movement (against drugs, alcohol and casual sex, extremist elements were anti-abortion and sometimes violent) in the 1980s. Now, however, the meaning can also include people who distinguish themselves from their peer group by abstaining from drugs and alcohol by personal choice rather than by affiliation with the punk subculture ideology.
1988:
Pete wears electrical-tape X's on his hands and burns down abortion clinics, he's a punk-rock mix of Ronald Reagan and the Muslim Brotherhood
2008:
Pete doesn't poke the smot with the rest of us cause he's straight edge, but we love him anyway cause he bakes us lots of betty crocker when we're high.

Get the straight edge mug.Alright, lemme clear some of this out for you guys. Straight Edge is just a matter of opinion. We are a group of people that would rather go to a hardcore show than get shitfaced at some lame ass club. As far as smoking cigarettes goes, any self-respecting person shouldn't buy them because you're paying to destroy your own lungs. And drugs, well that's the touchy subject. Most of us choose to abstain from drugs because of what they've done in our personal life.
But, before you call us out and say we're queers for out beliefs. Just remember, you're the people that are wasting your time bad-mouthing a group of people on the internet.
(A kid who says he's straight edge and then goes and smokes and drinks is not, I repeat not straight edge. Believe me, we hate those guys just as much as you do.)

Person A : Hey man, want a smoke?
Person B : Nah, I'm cool.
Person A : What's up man? You don't drink, you don't smoke, don't do any drugs?
Person B : Nah, I'm Straight Edge.
Person B : Nah, I'm cool.

Get the straight edge mug.A group of people that stay away from drugs, and alcohol.
They put Xs on the back of their hands and T-Shirts to advertise their commitment.
They beleive in no sex to marriage, or no casual sex. Meaning that you dont sleep around, or have sex just to do it.

Get the Straight Edge mug.If you're straight edge, it means you don't drink, don't smoke, and don't do any non-prescribed drugs.
Why are we straight edge? It's simple. We don't need drugs to get through life or have fun. In fact, it's truly baffling that so many people actually need drugs to enjoy life. Life is what you make it - and if you need to be constantly intoxicated to get through it, that's pretty pathetic when you think about it. In this generation it's now considered cool to get drunk and high all the time, but in reality drugs appeal to the lowest common denominator.
Furthermore, being straight edge means obeying the law. Many drugs are illegal. Why the hell would I want to become a criminal just for some stupid highs? It's not worth it in the slightest. There are so many legal ways to have fun. There's music, movies, TV shows, video games, literature, art, culture and so much more to indulge in. The world has plenty to offer you. Doing drugs can result in addiction/dependence and criminal convictions if you are doing illegal substances. Who wants that?
If you're straight edge, be proud - it might not sound like much to be alcohol-free and drug-free, but many people ultimately fall victim to peer pressure and give in to temptation. Being straight-edge doesn't make you a religiously boring loser. It's cool, healthy, wise and moral. Keep your mind clear and enjoy life. There's a bright and colourful world out there.

Drug-user: Hey man, want to drink/smoke/do drugs?
Straight edge person: Nope, I'm straight-edge and proud of it.
