Are you straightedge?

[pokejungle]

I'm very much straightedge o_o

And, as Dakota pointed out, I do treat smokers/druggies like the KKK :< I made a huge blog about it citing them for being miserable low-lives ^^"

So yes, if you see me as BlackxxJapan or Shaman xx Fight - I'm not just a poser ;>

I don't dress that punk though. Just my longer hair ;D

[I prefer "xx" over "x"]

No, it's not about a label, it's about a culture. o___o There is a difference between being sXe and simply being anti-drink/drugs/casual sex.

Can we know the difference? ._.

I use to know someone who was straightedge... but she got caught with pot recently.

That's incredibly disappointing ._____________.

The difference people like to make is the subculture I guess. sXe is a variation of punk. If you're not really "punk" then I guess people think they're not straight edge D:

But that's really not the case~~

Seems like just another little clique people make for themselves, but I may be wrong.

Life is groups, and groups are life. It's just the way the world works...without one you're just a drifter with a few passing friends.

Labels rule our lives.

Yes. sXes are those who are immersed in the punk subculture and have specifically chosen to follow the movement and the things it entails. Others, like me, simply chose not to do those things because they considered them dangerous or... I can't find the word. I decided that I would never drink, do drugs or sleep around long before I started listening to punk music. I'm not actually a punk, either.

I have one friend who is a true straightedge. The rest of his family, including his two younger brothers (aged 17 and 14, I believe) drink heavily, and he decided he wanted to be straightedge and avoid that whole scene. Another friend I believe is straightedge, but he won't tell me. I know he's into a lot of straightedge music, and follows the three "don't"s.

I am ze punk D:

Punk music rocks my world~ and I dress semi-punkish. I need more bandshirts though. Puuuu.

I'll have to stop at Hot Topic soon.

I do not, and never will, drink or do drugs. Very wierd saying that, considering I'm a college student. It's EVERYWHERE here.

But I also do not consider myself "straightedge" or any of that punk/emo culture bullshit. I'm a nerdy kid who will never **** himself up with drugs. That's about it.

That's all it really is--a label for people to feel like they belong to something. You can not be sexually active, not drink,and not do drugs, and not be in this psuedo "culture." It's just a name for kids who made something up.

BTW--Check your PM's.

Real Punks dont shop at hot topic. you make your clothes, or buy them used from a local alternative store that's not in the mall and that's not a chain. you get your band shirts from concerts or music stores. If you must know, I am straightedge, and i listen to minor threat. I have tons of straightedge and minor threat patches on everything.

 

[Careful With That Axe Pichu!]

What a... fossil.

Make sure to check what year we're livin' in next time!
