Straight Edge. A basic term for youth crew, and some modern "emo" kids who think they are better than the rest of the world because they dont drink, use drugs, or casualy sleep around. Often times modern sxe kids dont eat meat becuase its "impure" or some shit. It all started with a missenterpritation of a Minor Threat song, in which the lyrics go: "I've got the Straight edge". The song was a vent on the frustration with piers of the band who did these things in excess. It was never meant to start a movement, and wasnt a cry for more people to do the same. But since so many of Minor Threats songs were vents on this situation, people started to worship the term straight edge. Bands like Youth Crew and Gorilla Biscuts furtherd the sxe ideas, and thus the Youth Crew was born.

Get the sxe mug.Straight Edge. Meaning people who do not drink smoke or have sex. It is just another trend that people have started to follow on their quest to be different from everyone else.
Person 1:"Would you like a drink"
Straight Edge: "Ahem *makes a big scene* NO!! I'm Straight Edge!duuuhhhh I dont drink!"..
Here is that example again in normal curcumstances..
Person 1:"Would you like a drink"
Person 2: "No, thank you"

Get the sXe mug.Related Words
sXe, an amazing abbreviation for straightedge / straight edge / straight-edge. it symbolizes making a lifestyle choice, not following some stupid trend, if you're not ready to make the commitment for life, then yeah, maybe you should follow the practices, but you're not quite there yet. sXe people refrain from using drugs, alcohol, and tobacco (considered a drug by the way). they also refrain from having premarital sex. in some extreme cases I've even heard of people abstaining from using "foul language" , i.e. swearing which a lot of people did while defining this term...yep yep.
it is also my understanding that the movement was started by Minor Threat with some of their song lyrics, and that the "x"s represent the "x"s that minors had to wear on their hands when in clubs to listen to the bands so that bartenders knew they couldn't have alcohol (some hardcore straightedges tattooed "x" on their hands so that they could show the world who/what they are).
God is not a poison, and should not be avoided as such by straight edge people, many people even choose to use God as their reason for being sXe.

Get the sXe mug.Kids who, after having exhausted all means of shocking the "straight" world, have decided that the only recourse left is to become aggressively straight themselves. Generally describes hopeless losers who will continue to more or less abstain from drink, drugs and sex until some new fad or celebrity tells them to do otherwise.
I be hardcore sXe except on the weekends when I drink 9 quarts of apple martini and go trolling for skank.
