Straight Edge, is a label that was born out of punk music. Someone who doesn't, take in substances that effect the body(ie drugs not necessarily illegal), potentially doesn't eat meat. Will not engage in casual sex. Someone who dislikes drugs but is not original or secure enough to just say "I don't do drugs". A person who identifies as such is a loser, not because of their actions but because they apply the stupid label to themselves. for example, "Your just a stupid stoner!" "No, you twit I happen to be a guy who likes to smoke pot". They also have a affinity for stupid triple X tattoos as well
Beer guy"Hey want a beer"

it's a more a less 'rude' word used in the way Cracker and the 'N' word would be to describe a Straight person by a Gay or Lesbian person because strait people are complete pricks and very dangerous to gays and Lesbians
Straight a person to be sexually attracted to the opposite gender
Edge the end of a section, often sharp and dangerous. >other uses: edge of a building *dangerous to fall off of*

similar to emo in that it was invented by Ian Mackaye but got out of hand and now totally sucks.
Also completley misunderstood, nearly from Day 1.
1)Edge kids blieve in "rules" of no smoking, drinking, drugs or casual sex, with variations of veganism pro-life, etc.
2) Some of these variations are ridiculous and fascist.
But edge wasn't supposed to be rules, it was just supposed to be what you thought was right, and what was good for your health (ahem, getting in fights with smokers may not be too healthy).

1) Edge: STAY TRUE!
Normal Kid: Are you always this uptight?
2) Guy in the mall: (lights up)
Hardline Kid: (beats the shit out of the smoker)

A gang of kids, usually posers and emo's, who think they're hardcore rebels for following the law. They also like to wear X's on their hands to show their douchey allegiance.
Guy 1: Hey Tim, wanna drink?
Guy 2: No, I'm straight edge, I follow the law and that makes me hardcore. But I do miss drinking and having promiscuous butt sex with random men.

A movement of people who (wisely) realized that they are not strong enough to explore all aspects of their minds. They instead limit their life experience to reflect some contrived, Western morality which they lay claim to, but is really just a repackaging of the same puritanical rhetoric that has chained the human psyche since the dark ages.
Johnny Twentysomething: "Man, I was tripping mushrooms this weekend and I communed telepathically with the tree in my yard. I explored a different state of human consciousness and contemplated the origins of popular attitudes toward life and happiness."
Jimmy Straight Edge: "Woah, woah. It's dangerous to challenge assumptions. I prefer to parrot attitudes I heard in a crappy '80s rock song."

Term that was coined by Minor Threat, a punk band. The "rules" are basically whatever you want, though the basics are usually no drugs, drinking, or slutty sex. Other stuff includes no caffeine, veganism, and no artificual shit.
