Straight-Edge.
Straight edge is something that got started, well umum there are many opinions on what scene it got started in so ya, you pic one . The people that follow straight edge do not do...
DRUGS,
ALCOHOL,
SMOKING,
AND
CASUAL SEX.SxE inspired by the band Minor threat has spread around the world. Some sxe are christians or hare krishnas as well as other religions. Ian Mackayes group the teen idles made a bried west-coast tourning in 1980.
The group performed in Maduhay Gardens club since all of the members of the band were under 21. The members wrote an "X" on their hands with a marker as a warning to bartenders that such people should not be served alcohol.
Mackays second hardcore punk band minor threat in the early-mid 1980s.
Minor threats song "out of step" and "straight edge" started the sxe lifestyle.
For some straight edgers involves refraining from casual sex.
Many sXe persons believes in sex within caring relationships rather than one night stands.
No one is sXe simply because they don't drink, smoke, or do drugs it requires an active decision and participation in the subulture.
At a hardcore show it is common practice to make an X on the hands.
Some people interpret this as a symbol of Ian MacKaye's "Don't Smoke, Don't Drink, Don't Fuck".
Others interpret the three Xs as "Body", "Mind", and "Soul".
Many adopters of the sXe lifestyle get a tattoo of the X symbol on parts of the body or wearing it on clothing, pins,etc.
Attaching the X to your name or a bands name is common pratice of sXe.
