The edge of something, often used to indicate the borderlines of a certain concept: in politics, the fringe is usually the rare bunch of extremists, or in general the outcast members of a group that are considered less than peccable members.
Shit man, you actually believe a word this guy says? He's a fringe scientist! An astrologist would be more believable!

Goofy short bit of hair that comes down to your eyebrows. Also known as "bangs". The beatles started it apparently. One of them had a German girlfriend, and she cut their hair with a pudding bowl and the rest is history.
Your fringe looks oddly straight today, did you blow dry it?

A person that is on the edge of sanity, usually from sleep deprivation, drug abuse, lack of exercise, or a general sense of social anxiety. This is normally a person you are always cautious about when bringing around industrious, socially pleasant, "normal" people.
Symptoms of being fringe include: (a) bringing up vague and confusing topics of conversation at any given time, such as the Tao Te Ching or John Lennon; (b) rapid mood swings, more commonly aggression or despair; (c) telling pointless jokes and laughing for an extensive period of time, and then crying afterward.

A guy or girl that seems to have many parts of them in different stereotypes at once while still being themselves. Since they don't really fit into a particular stereotype he seems to be on the fringe of all of them, so people have a hard time putting them into one. Usually attractive(in order to fit in with almost anyone)and are pretty smart but don't apply themselves. Also listen to many different genres of music. Some people think they are rebels, posers, outsiders, weird, or whatever. But they don't give a shit who her friends are as long as they're cool & don't annoy the piss out of everybody. They hate the people who try too hard to be something and don't usually like to brag. Fringes can be really loud but also tend to be quiet. It all depends on who it is.

Long front part of a hairstyle.
Scene people take too much care of their beloved fringes. So much so that it probably has it's own name, age and national insurance number.
