WHAT STRAIGHT EDGE IS:
Straight edge (sometimes abbreviated to sXe or SxE) is a lifestyle and (counter cultural) subculture, closely with hardcore punk music. It advocates abstinence from tobacco, alcohol, and recreational drug use—especially psychoactive and stimulant drug use. Some straight edgers also abstain from promiscuous sexual behavior and caffeine.
Originally inspired by the punk band Minor Threat, it has spread around the world, but is most popular in industrialized Western societies with a large middle-class—such as United States, Canada, countries of Western Europe, and Australia. Although straight edgers do not necessarily identify with a particular world view on social or political issues, many do subscribe to precepts associated with anarchism, vegetarianism–veganism, socialism, environmentalism, and the deep ecology movement.
