a person who thinks they are better than everyone else only because they cannot (1)drink, (2)do any type of mind/body altering drug, or (3)engage in permiscous sex. they claim thier lives are better than those who aren't like them. it's stupid, because they probobly have no fun themselves.

straight-edge is lifestyle promoting a drug free life and it`s not being bring or anti social it`s having fun without abusing your body. You can have sex as long as it`s out of love not greed. Being vegan is not part of the sxe lifestyle more of a side choice that you can choose if you want.

Purity of body and mind. Alternative to being a crutch-lover, which is what the "in" thing nowadays is to be.
sXe is a way of life, thinking, and a major commitment. Mainly, it is having a clear mind and clear body.

A redundant and pretentious way of simply doing the right thing while feeling the need to have it justified and announced by being part of a group/clique. Often marked by the 'sXe' tattoo, sometimes just the 'X' mark.
"Do you want a smoke?"
'No way! I'm straight edge! I don't do that sorta shit!'
"You're pretty high and mighty for an under age kid with a tattoo!"

In the non poser sense (i.e. someone who actually stays committed and doesn't give in to the pressure to use substances and have tons of sex) Someone who chooses to live a clean life free of the iniquity of poisonous substances such as alcohol, tabacco, drugs, as well as refraining from sex when not accompanied by a strong emotional attachment. Doesn't have to beat up people but some choose to not because they are straight edge but because they are assholes. However, to be straight edge is to endure ridicule, bias, fear, and prejudice. But knowing that your stronger in your convictions than others gives you all the support you'll ever need knowing that you don't rely on a crutch to facilitate social functions and happiness cause straight edgers can socialize and have fun in a natural state.
stoner/alcoholic/idiot-"hey man want to inject poison straight into your body and be miserable from this day foward without said poison until you can no longer function as a person cause your slowly dying a painful agonizing death?"
Straight Edger-"no thanks"
