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.

Get the Edgar Allen Poe mug.An asshole, a bitch. They're full of themselves. I dated them, DONT date them. They are a cheater. They will bait you with kindness and then, will crush your heart to pieces by being an absolute dick. If you meet a guy named Edgar, run away and call the cops, say that they're a pedophile. And if he talks to you, just say you're a pedophile, and a bitch, get away from me dick.

Get the Edgar mug.A periodical distributed by the finer portion of the student body of Scarsdale High School. It rivals the school newspaper "The Maroon"; which is basically just annoying and pointless, The Cutting Edge has astute material and cheeky jokes which the Maroon lacks. Also, the Cutting Edge doesn't make articles about teen drinking, and take a picture from someone's facebook, and put it on the maroon. Fucking idiots.
The Maroon: "Underage drinking in SHS?"
