Straight-Edge (punk, rock, quote)

Straight Edge is something a lot of indie and emo kids participate in, and im sure it spans the genres. However, there seems to be some disagreement between it.

First off, I'd just like to say that people should be straight edge only if they believe in it, not just because they want to be hardcore. anyways.

This is how I know straight edge as: No drugs, and no drinking (for the most part.)
This is how some websites I've visited define it: No drugs, no drinking, no sex, and always buy music（no downloading).

Personally, I really think that sex and buying music have almost nothing to do with straight edge, especially moreover with buying music.

Discuss!
