What exactly does straight edge in the original definition?

- no Alcohol, no tobacco use and the absence of any other drug

- no promiscuity (= sex with multiple partners)
Most of all straight edger started over the years, also
vegetarian or vegan to eat even. Today you meet, especially in Europe
only a few Straight Edgers who do not eat vegan vegetarian addition
/ that attitude usually leads fairly quickly
to move away from a meat diet on base ...

Where does straight edge?

end of the seventies, United States - Washington DC The local punk scene
is greater than ever. However, over time, from more and more Punks
just colorful dressed junkies. Regular concerts are for the protection of minors from alcohol
released for 21 years, the only exception
are so-called "All Ages" events. These All Ages concert painted
minors were with permanent marker a big X on the hand jerking
to exclude them from serving alcohol (by that they were X
to quickly identify at each desk).
few young people were dissatisfied with the way the scene has developed
, with drug use and slogans like "no future" and could
they did not do anything. They seized the initiative and formed their own bands
, texts written against drug use and the associated
lethargy, promoted other constructive ideas as to what was then
punk bands. During this time split, resulting from the fundamental pillars of the punk movement
the hardcore scene. Hardcore
took basic ideals of punk, such as the DIY ethic (Do It Yourself), political ideals and independence replaced, but the cynical and destructive elements with positive messages.
One of the lyrics of that time should be eponymous for a whole
youth subculture:


"Straight Edge", 1981
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

Wahrend Minor Threat populärer wurden begannen Punks sich das X das sie von
All Ages shows her kannten aus Solidarität zu jüngeren Konzertbesuchern auf
den Handrucken zu malen und mit ihnen auf Alkohol and to dispense drugs
- the movement of their trademark had gone. (Digression: While Minor Threat
many places are regarded as the founder of the Straight Edge thought it
many people who feel that the band Teen Idles, a sort of Minor Threat
forerunners had Edge first the straight thoughts, without so big draw
circles to ...).
sprout Over the subsequent years throughout the United States Straight Bands
edge of the ground, shortly after the idea was also in Europe, the first trailer
and summarized in the first countries foot (Benelux, Germany,
Southern Europe).

Where does the name "Straight Edge" (often abbreviated to sXe SE,
XXX)?

A reliable answer to this question can hardly anybody give so
short: Apparently, the drummer of the already above-mentioned band
Minor Threat (which one of the first people were the drug-free life
propagated) for a concert a poster designed to he used in the course of a ruler and
drawing after drawing of a right angle
(straight edge) just said that as a symbol of the newly discovered life
. Then the text was supposed to be Straight Edge. How
said, allegedly, for a different version of this story
says again that only a straight line was drawn (Straight Edge
can and straight, flawless mean) and this term was used as a hanger
...

Where do these "rules"?

The basic principles have been defined by a lyrics, the rest of the
what now constitutes the many facets of the Straight Edge is a
development for many years in many scenes in all parts of the world:




"Out of Step (with the world) ", 1981


Do not smoke Do not drink Do not fuck

At least I can fucking think
I can not keep up Can not keep up

Can not keep up
Out of step with the world

These principles are evidence initially just by respect for one's own body and mind as well as the other sex.
Songwriter Ian McKaye devised no rigid set of rules to produce healthier people who happen to be somewhat better, the principles should not perish as the "Three Commandments" for the sake
(Also: Pull the these lines twice as large circles, the author then probably not even dream of thinking, because who expects even justify it with a personal opinion, a youth culture
). Quite the opposite - a clear mind should enable people to better their environment to perceive and to recognize abuse in their communities and fight. This can be ethical and moral, ecological, political, or just include problems with friends / family.

to expand its own rules and the resulting clear head
responsibility to use also makes sense each and every straight edger itself It
is no sXe-legislative rules touches, everyone makes the rules
itself, of course, always taking into account the principles
(see also below: Personal extensions).

Straight Edge The most common misunderstandings around:

- although the majority of straight edger is now at least
was allowed to eat vegetarian, vegetarianism, although a desirable, but not a mandatory part
. The original meaning of the term
SE as it was early to mid eighties coined in the USA referred
solely on life without drugs or not to constantly changing
sex partners. But
- Straight Edgers do not give up sex. The only thing that is rejected is
promiscuity (= sex with multiple partners, "follow your dick
around", the typical posturing of the College at that time (who gets the most women
?...) should not be accepted)
- straight edge has to do with intolerance or violence against dissenters
to do

Is Straight Edge = free drug?

Yes and no! As the above definition can be seen includes
Straight Edge, of course, a drug-free life (just the "drug free life"),
however: In the U.S. the term "drug free" different subject, then call
also people who smoke or take beer to be "drug free", and the
just because they find the things mentioned on hard drugs like cocaine, speed or heroin
without. Tobacco and beer falls under this definition does not
on drugs but rather to treat. Of course, this
view of the concept is very half-hearted and downright wrong. Each
Straight Edger really lives drug free, but not all the drug free lives
mean it seriously, and is straight edge. Drug free patches indicate
but at least here in Europe back on track, here the difference is related to
extremely rare, and it should stay that way ...

popular What is Straight Edge?

- The popularity of the straight edge idea is constantly fluctuating, as is the
activity of the HC scene in itself (to which the straight edge idea
(unfortunately) still limited mostly). While a clear record of high
both the movement in the HC scene and the popularity of the Straight Edge
in New York in 1988, now share the opinions
whether a global level, straight edge idea gaining in popularity,
stagnating or losing 20 years approximately. Often, even regionally recognized
running phases:
- While straight edge such as in the U.S. mid-nineties was enormously popular
(Earth Crisis gave interviews on MTV, many lifestyle magazines
printed (often bad) reports, etc.) is a to see similar development in
Europe in the last 2 years. The scene was again active
and here the media started your interest in straight edge to discover
. The results, however, were also often very sad ...
- In the United States became especially the scene in and around SALT LAKE CITY
sad
(a town near the most active Mormon territory of the USA (random)?) Celebrity kids there perverted the idea of straight edge and
went through with broken bottles in his back scratched Xe,
Gang mentality and resulting in the U.S. talked about
(of course, was exactly a big feast for the media .. .).
excesses of this kind, however, remained happily rather isolated case, according
many ups and downs in popularity and activity
within and outside of the scene regulated again and again by itself

How and why I come to the Straight Edge and how long I stay straight
Edge?

- What: This is not a club or party you join, the
easy decision to adapt to the ideals
given above is sufficient to get called Straight Edge. Of course you should not
the next day with Drug Free badges plastered over all the prophets
mime ignorant, which often seems implausible, one should, before moving slowly
to the cause. Often these people are in fact just disappeared more quickly
again ...
- The reason why one chooses Straight Edge are up already
right set out in detail: self-control, more in view of the world
we live in, breaking out of the ordinary course of things, people
personal / family environment, of which one might distance themselves
etc. are just some reason. The list could be extended as many
ideal within the Straight Edge scene are desirable. Anyone can use the
discover for yourself ...
- How long? The decision to Straight Edge was to last a lifetime
really long, so at least would look the ideal case. In many places, contact
people but after some time to come off during
always new faces, a few remain as stable as it wishes (see also below
: abnormalities of the scene). It is not necessarily excluded
that is found again after a departure from the straight edge then, even if this happens rarely and
is frowned upon, perhaps, they get more settled
, but: Ideally, it can only come not so much
...


What falls under the "personal enhancements" of the original Straight Edge
idea?

differs As mentioned above, the exact definition of the term Straight Edge
from individual to individual. While the
basics remain the same almost every developed Straight Edger
during the time he pays characteristics of Straight Edge. Hard Line (see above)
is only a small part of it and can again be paid more to the more common variations
. In one example, the U.S. for some
Edger as the final consequence of the Straight Edge is the ascetic life to
marriage, these are a clear minority, yet this idea
found followers. Often these "variations" of the Straight Edge
make a stir within the scene, some are committed to tolerate other
and others decry. You can also Straight Edger
take your modified by Straight Edge life situation as
have interpreted that they indicated by Straight Edge in all situations
to do otherwise, someone told as one that he carried more learned
consideration and respect both on the road to another behavior.
Definitely Straight Edge influence on most trailers the
dealing with other people, some go so far that they think that
has the straight edge mentality in school to work much changed for the better
. As I said, where to start and stop these extensions again
You may decide to discuss here on the sense and nonsense
would be wrong and almost philosophical, everyone should decide for themselves how far
Straight Edge is for him. Just the basics
should be the same.

Some details from the history of the straight edge:

Over the years, we repeatedly see varieties of STRAIGHT EDGE,
the partial considerably from the original idea of the Straight Edge differed
idea.

HARD LINE: is

One of the most discussed and most controversial Splitter ideas
Straight edge probably the HARD LINE idea that in addition to the partially
militant anti-drug attitude and usually equally militant animal welfare
addition to the protection of unborn life (ie against abortion)
had prescribed and has many actions, especially in North America ensured
headlines. In addition to the attitude in some welcomed to
animals / drug belongs to the abortion issue to the well
most discussed within the hardcore scene and took over again for a split of
(To decide for itself the right of women
) per-lifern (against abortion) and pro-choice. explain this complex issue here, however, was the near
the given context beyond many times.

KRISHNA:

swept early Nineties also a wave of Krshna-HC bands
America to Europe to win at that time a considerable following. In
focus of this idea was a label (Equal Vision) and the band a
early straight edge icon, Shelter your frontman Ray Cappo (formerly
Youth of Today), the spread suddenly next to the Straight edge ideas dedication
for Krishna religion . It was quite simply the basic course
this religion (for example, the vegetarian diet is a main component)
with drugs and promiscuity free ideals of straight edge to
agree, we could show, however, that this trend more medium to
was short-lived and did not notice it seems that straight edge /
Hardcore / Punk can be difficult to reconcile with the conditions of life among the
rules of a religion.

CHRISTIANITY:

However, one has understood this only apparent, for the mid-nineties came
another version of straight edge in connection with religion,
this time had a remarkable number of Christians, the HC and the straight
committed life. Here, too, was back had a label in the center (
Tooth & Nail), she met this idea from the USA and again she is (at least as striking scene
) expects faster when they disappeared.
outsiders are frequently believe that Straight Edge is part of
has an organized religion. Which one can disagree slightly
it may be that some Edger are religious, and regain some of the values of various
religions (see above), the straight edge idea itself lacks
but the structures that an organized religion make up, there
no church, no set of fonts that could trim the
(see Bible), etc. (The idea to run was whether Lyrics = rules /
writings or concerts = Mass is already often tried
was here but once again beyond the frame). Moreover, one should not forget that the hardcore scene
the rather atheistic ideals of the punk scene has taken
, however, there are exceptions always!

Where can I learn more about Straight Edge?

addition to the hardcore scene in the widespread and all over the world
appearing fanzines, the Internet is a good resource to learn in depth about the
about Straight Edge. Each search engine, whether national or international
spits the term Straight Edge
a myriad of relevant Pages (Onlinezine, labels, bands, personal pages, etc. ..
) of which can be can be further left turn. Moreover, the Usenet
sometimes helpful, as examples can, for example
alt.punk.straight edge, alt.music.hardcore or alt.lifestyle.subst
use free-ance to name but a few groups in which the subject
comes to language. A well-stocked record collection will also
remain the foundation of all knowledge ... More

Okay. Since it seems that in this day and age if you want someone’s support for your war, you either, threaten a country with severe economic devastation, or you fucking bribe their fucking ass. So in this day in age I propose that countries put their support up on the eBay, and let the president, and whoever is dumb enough (and I am sure that he is) bid the fuck away.

hi.

Ah... I had missed work. I walked in, knowing very well what I was going to face being the lone dissenter in a sea of bloodthirsty "lets kick some fucking ass" war supporters, seeing as it was my first day back since our country made this massive mistake. Let me tell you, I was met with some of the most pleasant of greetings.

#1 Ice breaker - So... ah (awkward silence) were kickin' some major ass over there!

#1 most un informed (stupid) statement of the night - So, you know nate, I do not understand what all this fuss is about the authority of the United Nations being disrupted, and shit, I mean, we will just make something new after it is gone. Isn't that what happened to the League of Nations?

#1 most absurd thing I think I have ever heard. Telling this arby's kid about how much money will be spent on this war, and how potentially using the money here at home, for say education, could send any kid who wants to go to college. He responds, by saying that that is dumb, because there is way "too much emphasis placed on education in this country today."

#1 holy fuck, someone in Lynden actually said that! I was looking through the Bellingham Herald, and in a community section there was this story on kids in a Lynden school discussing the war. One girl, who according to the herald, made a valid point, by saying she "...think(s) it's ridiculous that we still have protesters out there saying 'no Iraq war' when, hello? We're at war," (I am guessing, by her clever use of 'hello?' that she was from the valley)

Quoting How High, hand motions and all; WHAT THE FUCK!

This county is fucked. Arby’s is Fucked. Ferndale is Fucked. Lynden is Fucked. This country is Fucked. help.

THE LOSS AND CURSE OF REVERENCE

Insahn Insahn & Samoth Samoth & Insahn
Memories of torment strikes me attempts were made to suffocate me at birth
fools I was already ancient Thou cannot kill what breed within Thee
Alas, this agony the emptiness of earthborn pride
hath stirred my faithful heart which guided me to darker paths
far away from their pestilent ways cleansed was I from deceitful grace
yet, put to scorn was I by those unclean enslaved by ignorance
they blindly spat upon the deity of hate awake is the darkest friend
By the fallen one I shall arise
Upon the bewildered masses to whom the indulgence of my soul
portray as sin made god I shall revile and quell the source
whence mockery of my kind derive this I know
facile shalt my guest not come to pass deathwish be my gift to all at last
Honour commended as longer as virtue
yet, shalt be extolled by lights demise
By the fallen one I shall arise
Believer speak not to me of justice for none have I ever seen
by God, I shall give as I receive betrayer speak not to me at all
you and this world ripped my fucking heart out
Again...and again...again

I do not get it.
