Sooo am I to believe that "straight edge" are new 'metal' fans who are basically goody-goodies? If so, I dont know anyone like that. I'd say 70% of this area's youth smokes grass and drinks. Metal people too, of course.
..........if the only definition of straightedge is doesn't do drugs that is I, I don't give a shit if other people do drugs, shit if I were healthy I would do drugs, but I'm not so I'm relegated to blinding reality........ I am knurd........
Straightedge - A lifetime commitment never to drink, smoke, or do drugs. Some people include abstainence from promiscuous sex. Others abstain from caffeine. Started in the hardcore/punk scene of the early 1980's in Washington DC.
if drugs are a reality overload.... straightedge is a stupidity overload. interpret that comment as you wish.
Meh. It goes against my life philosophy that you gotta try everything before you make a judgement call. On the other hand, doing lots of drugs doesn't take very much skill, nor is it something to be proud of. Do what you want, but if you carve Xs into your hands, I'm pretty sure you're a retard.
i guess i can see where you're coming from, and i can't say about where you live, but in arizona, there aren't really any straight edge hardcore kids, at least not any real ones. it all basicly goes back to bands like minor threat, charles bronson, and bands on dischord, it was, at least in my interpretation, rebelling against bands like slayer, who were like "dude.. beer is my fucking fuel!" and meat-head jock frat boys who only cared about drinking, smoking bongs, scoring with chicks, and moshing. and to be straight edge also usually meant to be vegetarian or vegan. so there's another reason i respect it. people can be jerks about drinking, and jerks about not drinking, but if i had the choice, ide rather be around sober jerks. and as to what you said micha, you're completely forgeting about kids that our like "hey check this out! its called sparks!! yeah, the lead guitarist from the minibosses had one.. its like a beer energy drink!! dude... surfs up!!" there's like tons more kids like that.. and those kids to me are ten times more obnoxious.
Yeah..over here..Dear god...Eighth Grade (last year) at my Middle school is fucking full of those kids. They're gunna be freshmen this year, and Idunno how I'm gunna handle it Haha...
mmmk....first of all EWWW...and that last part was a littttle too much info. anyway...i like pumpkin pie.
I don't do that stuff 'cause I like my percieved reality, and I love my brain. So I don't wanna screw with it. And DSK...your mentality is another addition to the list of reasons not to. 'Cause you sound like an idiot. And there is not one person I know that is smarter under the influence. Aquabats rule.
Don't blame him for the wound in your crotch. Yeah, but you don't know shit either. Lots of people are more functional on say blow or speed than sober.
