Straight-Edge

[Kara]

Straight Edge is something a lot of indie and emo kiRAB participate in, and im sure it spans the genres. However, there seems to be some disagreement between it.

First off, I'd just like to say that people should be straight edge only if they believe in it, not just because they want to be hardcore. anyways.

This is how I know straight edge as: No drugs, and no drinking (for the most part.)
This is how some websites I've visited define it: No drugs, no drinking, no sex, and always buy music（no downloading).


Personally, I really think that sex and buying music have almost nothing to do with straight edge, especially moreover with buying music.


Discuss!

whoever doesnt do drugs and doesnt have sex is an idiot

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! straight-edge is for losers that are too ugly to get laid and too young to get drunk and/or have no means of obtaining said intoxicants.

Or just too smart to screw up their lives...

Im freinRAB with some straight edge people and I respect them but I would rather just do what I want. Straight edge has just become the cool thing to do these days, I dont see the point in that. Besides Ian drinks now anyway.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! really, you made my day a lot brighter with this thread.

I'm in college, starting a career and getting married. I have a wonderful life going for me and I have had my share of experience with all the afformentioned. I'm not screwed up, in fact I think I'm pretty well-off. It depenRAB on the type of person you are, really.

Well to what I know straight edge is no violence, no drinking, no smoking, no sex, and no violence, and some people take it too far to a point were straight edge is also being a vegetarian. Well I was reading everything about straight edge and if you guys are interested in reading than go here

you want a debate, i am very, very anti straight-edge. no drinking? no sex? no downloading? why do it to yourself.

 

[Matthew Mccullough]

No... Theyre just living how they want to. I couldnt do it, but still... Good for them , I guess. Theyll probably live longer than I ever do, so good luck to them.

 

[ReGgAe TiCo MaN]

What kind of a life is that. Even nuns get out more than that... I bet theyre allowed to download stuff. Besides, half the 'emo kiRAB' that say theyre straight edge wouldnt even know what it meant. It just means more scene points for them.

seconded, and he knows pussy considering he is a huge one. jk

 

[SSBB RULES]

why isn't this in the punk forum? just a thought.

Many straight edge people I know have sex but they are in a commited relationship. Straight edge is about not having promiscuous sex. They have drunk but they made the decision not to drink anymore. I think it's quite a good choice.

Tell him I said to shoot up and grow a pair.

 

[starletlover]

for me, no. for other people, it's probably a great thing but then there are those few irritating kiRAB that try to make a big deal out of being straight. I'm sorry if i sounded like an assh0le but I've had that **** shoved in my face so much, it's not funny anymore. I just saw the thread and had myself a good laugh. i'm sure not all straight-edge people are not stupid little pricks like the ones i've met.

 

[Hugin]

so sorry i'm not on meth, i know its what the cool kiRAB do but cocaine and hookers named crystal don't appeal to my.

 

[bo_dontno]

is that some kindof sick cult or somethin?

 

[im short]

Alcohol is a very powerful and dangerous drug.

 

[Vibrantfish]

And tell him to be sure to share needles, it helps save money and with todays economy. that's something we all need to do
