As far as I know Minor Threat originated Straight Edge in the 1980s. Originally, the life style consisted of refusing to use drugs/alcohol. Now, a lot of straight edge kids like to avoid casual sex; however, minor threat never portrayed that idea in their song "straight edge." The band has said that they named this life style "straight edge" because it shows someone who has "got their shit straight" which gives them an "edge over others." They started leading this life style in high school when they would see the teens around them ruining their lives with drug use and alcohol. So, they did the opposite of what they saw people doing, which was a large part of the punk scene.
I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and fuck my head
Hang out with the living dead
Snort white shit up my nose
Pass out at the shows
I don't even think about speed
That's something I just don't need
I've got the straight edge
I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and smoke dope
'Cause I know I can cope
Laugh at the thought of eating ludes
Laugh at the thought of sniffing glue
Always gonna keep in touch
Never want to use a crutch
I've got the straight edge

Get the straight edge sex mug.
A new designation for persons who still insist they are straight edgers, but whom are no longer hardcore straight-edge. They can bend the straight-edge to suit their own individual situation, for example they may choose to smoke but not have casual sex. Or they make occasionally choose to drink alcoholic beverages but continue to obstain from nicotine or any other drugs. Also, they may follow all straight-edge philosophy except food constraint, refusing to be veggie or vegan. Basically an 'xteh' is only totally against illegal drugs and casual unmeaningful sex. Possibly derived from x-ing one of the the straight edge double x's and combining it with the recently popularized prefix 'teh.'
"Is Sara still straight edge?"
"No, I think she's xteh straight edge now because I saw her drinking beer at the last show."
