maybe i've been living in the dark ages but suddenly out of the blue has popped this new littfe fad that if i recall has been dubbed straight edge, so far from a few of the wierdos that are tryihng to live by it i have decifered that it means you listen to throw down, use the letter 'x' alot, don't drink, smoke, take any drugs of any form and the music quite frankly is just a bit naff, just (and i feel a bit old saying this) is a bit of a noise, i mean im not knocking the majority of bands that 'scream' as apose to just sing but its not even creative writing its just a constant breakdown with some lyrics that just seem thrown together, no technicalities, no feel, im just woundering what the point of all this 'straight edge' stuff really is? how's it meant to be enjoyed exactly??? because it certainly would suck for me...
