Im liek SO Straight Edge
 

I'm starting this thread to clear up any questions or misconceptions about something that means a lot to me.

Let me start out by telling you a little bit about my self, I'm from Jersey, but I can spit on Philly, and considering the fact that I'm included in Philadelphia's census, I consider myself from Philly. I grew up in the Philadelphia hardcore scene, being into hardcore I learned about this thing called straight edge, and it really intrigued me, so eventually I quit all the things I was caught up in ,became straight edge, an haven't looked back since.

(^^^If you skipped that at least read this vvvv)
I'm tired of people who know nothing about being straight edge answering questions , so I'm here to tell you how it is , I'm not gonna sugar coat anything , so feel free to ask a question.

Whats it like being part of a dumb subculture that's desperate for a label and has a founder that broke edge brah

Right, well seeing as how you are not into hardcore I'm guessing you've never met anybody who is really straight edge , more so kids who "claim" to be drug free during their childhood and try to associate themselves with something that has nothing to do with them, and are destined to sell out by the time their 21. The fact that you're calling it "dumb" and you used the term "broke edge" tells me you don't know anything about what you're trying to make fun of.

I didn't know you had to like hardcore to be straight edge.

I'm sorry to anybody who isn't into hardcore and is drug free, but straight edge is a hardcore thing

to who ever moved this, this is not an introduction , I really dont want to introduce myself to anybody, this is an education thread made to educate people on a fundamental part of hardcore puck

Ian is talking about a small and short lived "movement" by bands such as one life crew and pitboss2000, who try to justify violence by saying its what they believe in, straight edge isnt a church ,people don't go around trying to convert the world. He's saying its sad to see something he helped create being used as an excuse to hurt people. also how would you feel if people asked you the same question 5 times a day.

Well, it's certainly not a topic about music. This is the most appropriate locale for it.

actually if it weren't for straight edge, the last 30 years of hardcore would be out the door, most of hardcore's fundamental bands were straight edge. I really didn't think people would be this immature , seriously there is no reason to hate straight edge kids.

and introductions????? really??? c'mon man get real
