Straight Edgers

[Oblivious Maximus]

You know these kids who don't smoke/drink/do drugs/have sex, ect. They're annoying as hell and tend to cause toruble. Prime example: I was at a wrestling show (not one of the big ones, and indi) and after the show I was shotting the shit with one of the wrestlers and we were having a chew. Another fan came up and started giving us shit, but we just said, "look, you do you're thing and we'll do ours. He walked away but damn mind your own business. I'm not even going to go into the shit these guys start at concerts.

Cryptie....Don't start throwing everyone into one group like so many people do here....I've been quasi edge (I drink occassionally) since before it was cool
or even had a name for that matter (I didn't know about the sex thing though...)

I had a period when I didn´t eat meat or used alcohol and people bitched about me being some kind of straight edge person. I just smiled at them and it calmed down after a while.

all that i know is that the straight edge kids are more prone to being the ones at hardcore shows doing those ridiculous dances, which are in fact beyond gay. they compensate for not drinking/drugs/sex for looking like a fool in public. oh well, gives me entertainment.

 

[T_man357]

I agree 100%!!

Haha, yeah. They look like they're trying to do karate.

I don´t know, I know of some straight edgers in Prague and in fact I consider most of them posers, it seems weird to me, they don´t drink, fuck and eat meat, but hey whatever. If they don´t force their shit to me, I´m all right.

 

[gaschamber]

all that crouching tiger hidden dragon dancing started somewhat recently, cause i remember going to hardcore shows in 97-98 and nobody was doing that crap, you could still actually MOSH, and not watch all the hardcore kids WAIT THEIR TURN to dance...hahaha its like theyre at a deli and they take a number in line.

 

[T_man357]

WOW!!! I guess I have to retract my earlier post!!
I didn't realize there was that much to it....I just don't smoke, do drugs and I drink pretty sporadically these days....But hell, I'm ALL ABOUT Fucking, Eating red meat, and most of the other shit that was said in this thread..

I absolutely agree, gaschamber. My brother and I had a conversation about this not to long ago. I actually love buying new metal dvd's lately because when the camera cuts to the pit, you are almost guaranteed to see some jackass doing air punches, high kicks or something extremely gay. That shit makes me laugh so fucking hard because, like you said, it is gay beyond belief. A perfect example is Lamb of God's:Terror and Hubris dvd. When it shows them at the New England Metal & Hardcore festival there a couple of parts where this skinhead has a bandana(sic?)over his face like he is in Body Count, he also has a fucking Garth Brooks shirt and a back pack on and is just standing there doing airpunches the whole time...I about piss myself everytime I watch it Man, I miss the days when moshing was actually fun.

This shit makes me laugh everytime I see it​

back in the 80's depending on what show you went to you'd see straightedgers.i used to got to the matiness at cb's and they would be there. back then more often than not there wouldn't be much trouble. everyone kinda got along. the dancing was way diffrent as well. none of this moronic shadow boxing.I understand straight edge is a personal choice but when they try to stick it down your throat we got problems.the ultra-militant s.e. point of veiw is another thing i cant stand. back then if you didnt smoke and drink you were basically straight egde. this no sex,no meat,all life is sacred shit,vegan only maniacs wasn't around until later.

 

[nyhc7163]

I agree! I miss the good old days! when shows and the music were alot of fun!

That looks like a retard rampage. Look at the guys face behind that girl. Priceless

 

[Lord_Of_This_World]

I don't get all this denying yourself business.
If you try something and don't like it fair enough,but,why deny yourself something just so you can say you don't do it?
I quit smoking 8 years ago 'cause of the cost and the fact it made me feel like shit.
I also recently quit drinking 'cause of a recurring kidney problem which was being aggravated by booze.
I never got into drugs.Tried them a few times and never really interested me.
Still eat red meat now and again,although not as much as I used to.
But the no sex thing I just don't understand.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

Thats one of the big problems around here with sXe people. They always show up in groups and believe me, the WILL try and force their shit on you. All that pent up sexual frustration.

I believe! So, when the situation like this occurs, the only thing you could do is to advise the retard to go the fuck out of your way.

Yeah if it was only about smoking and doing drugs, guess I would be straight edge too... I was just wondering, T-Man and straight edge? and I was just about to ask you whether you are vegetarian...which wouldn´t really get together with your Ted Nugent, guns and hunting passion...so now you´ve cleared it for me...

send earth crisis a thank you note for that garbage.

i also dont think theyre allowed to jerk off. and that for ME is unacceptable.

you know how many wet dreams they must have for never fucking or jerking off?! hahahaha

This is the problem, too many of these people have their nose too far into others business, that's the fucking problem with the world.

You don't want to eat meat?

Fine.

You don't want to drink alcohol?

Fine.

You don't want to smoke a joint?

Fine.

You don't want to get a hot piece of pussy?

Fine.

Don't you dare get in my face if I choose to or we are going to get into it.

I don't give two shits what you do, as long as you aren't hurting anyone else and aren't getting in my face over it.

Choose your path and walk it, just stay the fuck out of mine.

In the early 90's a fronted a band called Idiot Box here on Long Island which was probably the total opposite of straightedge as you could be. Music was akin to M.O.D and stage antics like Murphy's Law. One time we got booked on a show with all straightedge bands at the Roxy, and for 2 hours before we went on I had to watched these straightedge bands (for the first time) sing about all this introspective shit and waste good hardcore beats and riffs. But hey, that's fine everyone has their own gig. Live and Let Live.

Usually at these gigs you always make some friends with the other bands because everyone kinda supports each other. NOT at this gig. Apparently my band wass not part of the sXe inner circle. I think our reputation preceeded us because of a sXe zine review of our music calling it "cartoonish and misogynistic"

Fine,fuck it we were there to have fun and fun we were gonna have. We hit the stage and apparently our opening barrage of "Midget Bitch", " Malachi Crunch" and "Rockem Sockem Robots" which usually thrust the audience into the spirit of our group did NOTHING for these tightasses. They stood their with arms folded and some people left because our " fun loving" attitude damaged their sXe sensabilities. or perhaps they thought we sucked (always a possibility).

So basically, it was us 4 guys and our friends on stage having an awesome time and 60 straightedgers acting like they were at a funeral. No clapping between songs. So after that I have always thought L.I sXe was dopey. Not my thing at all.

Best Regards,

Momo
