    If you mean no smoking and no drinking,it's basically a life and health choice. I'll admit it started out as a music thing when I first heard and read Minor Threat lyrics(I was 11-12 years old),but as I got older it became a choice for myself without the idea of a music scene or anything like that behind it. As for the no fucking part,it's not about not having sex it's about promiscuity,but I'm guilty of both so there you go.

    To my defense I never preach or look down on anyone who is not straight edge. I don't even associate straight edge with a music scene anymore.

    Now the rumor I really despise is that straight edge guys are porn addicts. I can honestly say that I never bought or own a porno(movie or magazine). Where that shit started I have no idea!

    I don't think I'm technically straight edge, cause I'm down with sex pre-marriage but if that's not a requirement than my bad.

    ANYWAY, I don't do drugs, smoke or drink because I've never felt the need. There doesn't seem to be a thrill, I see people do it and it doesn't appeal to me. I have a pretty good time sober anyway.

    I had a train of negative influences in my life too from my parents/brother, alcholism, health problems due to smoking, drug problems, so from a young age seeing the negative effects scared me straight. Than by highschool it was a choice.

    Long story short, never saw the point and it never seemed to offer me anything I couldn't achieve on my own. I usually came up w/crazier shit anyway than my friends who were high or drunk.

    I am "straight edge" because...

    1) My Religious preference
    2) Smoking, Drinking, Drugs, etc. have obviously proven to be bad for you.
    3) No brain cells will die faster

    And I don't associate the music I listen to with my straight edge-ness.

    there's no greater feeling that having the room spin around your head and making you want to vomit.

    i don't smoke... if it didn't stink and suck for your health, i would do it. it's so cool

    Ok, the real answer:

    I never drank or did drugs through my teenage years. Those that did in my depressed western PA small town were either loser rednecks that were 17 year old alcoholics, or heroin addicts that died. really.

    I never really called myself Straight Edge (though a lot of other people did label me this way). I simply said (and still say) "I don't drink" "I don't do drugs"

    I never X'd up. I never beat down a drinker. I never even listened to Minor Threat when I was a young person who didn't drink.

    Most of the people that I ever met who used drugs had their lives ruined by drugs. Its not worth it to me. At age 25, I tried my first drink. I experimented for a few months, and decided that it was stupid. I haven't had one since. Its one of my only life regrets. "Why did I bother?" But i didn't feel confident believing in something that I didn't know about first hand. I tried, it realized that it truly was as worthless as I realized, and never had another sip of alcohol, and probably never will.

    I've never done drugs, and never will.

    I haven't eaten meat in 25 years, and never will (I know this is separate-but i consider it all part of a larger 'clean' body)

    Put simply, I don't need it. I can party with friends without making an ass of myself. I can afford my other hobbies because I don't spend money at the bar, and most importantly, I consider myself strong enough to cope with life without it.

    To me, its a waste of time, money, and brain cells.

    My real question is why do so many people resort to drugs and alcohol to deal with life? This, to me, is a more logical question.

    Winu...Yeah I most definitely DO NOT associate the music I listen to to being straight edge. Hell I love Rupture,GG Allin(early shit),and the Germs!

    On the other hand I am not religious(I'm atheist)but never thought that religion can play a part of someone being religious. I am not closed minded though so I am curious to hear more. What religion are you?
