So a buddy recently asked if I was a Straight Edge punk, well I don't consider myself punk and at the time didn't know what he meant. I guess it pretty much explains itself but I looked it up to clarify.
Anyway reason I'm posting this is that it seems that the straight edge movement died in the early 2000's. Does anyone feel this is true, or am I just really simplyfying things? Also if anyone has more info on what it means to be Straight Edge I would appreciate it, and who still considers themselves sXe.
wow if ever there was a fucked up label designed for me this would have to be it lol , no drugs , sex , alcohol , sounds like my life so far :) woohoo I have a label .
yeah yeah i killed punk thats it you got it first of all i am more a street kid than just a punk ,im chaotic and i just dont care about politic relgion and all these shits second i didnt proclaimed myself a punk it all started back in the days and 3 i made punk rock revive in my town so just go fuck yourself if you think i am killing if for you punk is just a fuckin politic movement. straight edge?wtf ?i got enough disciplin to know when i had enough and im not drunk cause i quitted to keep my head for my kid anyways punk killed himself many yearas ago way before i was there so enjoy your sober life and fuck off!
got a friend that i don't speak to as often as i used to, hes straight edge, basically no drugs/alcohol. he still went to parties but never drank/smoked.
there cool by me, i got a lot of respect for them, until they start to try and convert me(just a few that i have met) that's when it pisses me off lol.
people don't realize the entertainment value of being sober at parties lol , believe me there's a lot of entertainment to be had , when people are pissed or drug fucked they lose their inhibitions and do things and say things they would not usually do , and being sober means you have a better memory :) I've lost count how many times a little bit of info that was blurted out at a party has come in handy , plus when you get to my age you can clearly see the damage that all the drugs and alcohol have done to these people , all of which will tell you that their recreational use won't harm them lol these same people ten years later could not hold an intelligent conversation with a pet rock , what's not to love about being a straight edge :)
