how does effay feel about straight edge?

Personally, I think it's utter shit.

I'm somewhat involved in the hardcore/punk scene (Detroit/Toledo) and being straight edge is what's cool. People literally will not listen to your band if you don't claim you're edge. How fucking stupid is that. Jesus christ I could claim edge for a day, do acid, and immediately I'm a traitor. Do these xxxTUFFxxx idiots realize how dumb they sound??? gahh

and I get that, so don't touch them. No need to claim """"edge""""" (other than grasping for attention/thinking you're better than others who don't claim edge).

I don't do drugs and I don't drink any alcohol but I don't need to call that "straight edge" just so I can tell people that it's an interesting thing I do. I always thought calling something as trivial as not doing two things is just admitting that it's a problem for one.

this is what annoys me the most. Not trying anything and have a decision to be str8 actually based on something other than whatever they say ('it's bad for you', 'it's dumb' idk)
before I started doing drugs and drinking I was talking to someone and it came up and I said I'd never done anything
>"So you're str8 egde?"
>No. I just haven't done anything, I probably will at some point though.
>"So why are you str8 edge?"
>wtf dude.

Now that I do stuff it's had no impact on my personality/lifestyle/decisions. I'm the same person. It's my business and I'm not going to wear it like some do, or str8 edge people wear their decision.

See, where people go wrong with straight edge is the one size fits all No drugs, sex, vegan, whatever. Straight edge is about living a non self-destructive lifestyle. How you want to go about that is up to you.

I hate drinking, seen drugs mess up quite a few people, and have no interest in doing other drugs or perscuous sex. So this lifestyle came naturally for me.

The Straight Edge movement is attention seeking on steriods. It's a "lifestyle choice" to the great unwashed.
It's for people who think that heavy drinking and getting tweaked out every weekened is something we are forced to do, and that they are so righteous and brave for going against that culture.

I don't drink myself into a stupor because I don't have a feeble and easily entertained mind.
I don't do hard drugs because I'm not retarded enough to have to amplify my thoughts / emotions. I don't consider myself straight edge because I'm not a pseudo-intellectual who thinks that they are top shit for saying no to substances that only tempt the weak-willed.

i'm not edge but i think it's sick. it's a positive and healthy lifestyle. there's nothing wrong with labeling yourself straight edge, it's just about wanting to belong to something which is a pretty basic psychological need. you guys might claim that you are so above labeling yourself but i can guarantee every one of you has done it before.

My childhood (and still) hero is straightedge, and I have bad experiences with drugs and alcohol. I don't really tell people when I meet them that I am straightedge. Like I am not "the straightedge person". Fuck that, that's not what I want to be known as.

It has come up in conversation though, and like

girls often ask me to smoke with them and shit as some weird enticement to have sex with me.

Life is weird.

but real shit though, like let them live their lives. Don't fucking belittle people just because they call themselves straightedge. They are proud of their lifestyle, just let them be, it really doesn't affect you.

I don't drink or do drugs but I will never label myself as Straight Edge because:

>Not in highschool

>Could not give a fuck if everyone else wants to live a different lifestyle than I do

>I like being able to give a bottle of wine to a friend for her birthday without having a moral crisis over it

>Not naive enough to pretend my perspective will remain unchanged until I die (who the fuck would I be kidding if I pretended I'm not gonna want a glass of wine with dinner when I'm 60 fucking years old?)

>Straight Edge has been ruined by innumerable sententious faggots who are only on the bandwagon until their local scene blows over and they decide it's now cooler and more convenient to smoke meth

>So many terrible, terrible edge bands out there (seriously, apart from a select few '80s bands, the vast majority is just generic, cheesy, preachy, vapid bullshit, and that's without even mentioning the '00s HxC fad)

>People who DO drink and do drugs are usually a lot more fun to be around than I probably am. I'm boring and quiet as fuck with very few friends... but at least I'm not part of some poser 'crew' or saving up to have tats lasered off.
