may put X'
s on there hands and a bandana over their nose and mouth in order to try and further make this lifestyle look 'cool'. For some that follow this lifestyle they may think it makes them better then everyone else and
will go around letting everyone know they are '
straight edge', what these people don't realize is no one gives a shit. Others who follow this type of lifestyle
will only let people know at appropriate times. These people are the respectful ones, but they still sound stupid calling themselves
straight edge.
