Welcome to the fanlistings.org approved fanlisting for Straight Edge. What is Straight Edge? Straight Edge is a commitment to abstain from alcohol, tobacco, recreational drugs and often promiscuous sex. It is closely associated with the hardcore punk scene and involves a conscious choice to label yourself 'Straight Edge' and understand and join the counter culture that surrounds it. Why become Straight Edge? The reasons for becoming Straight Edge are many and vary from person to person. For some it is due to the physical and mental benefits being free from chemical stimulants brings, for other's it is a reaction against the mainstream alcohol and drugs culture. Straight Edge? The term Straight Edge is attributed to Ian MacKaye of the influential hardcore punk bank Minor Threat. This fanlisting is named after another of Minor Threat's songs, Out of Step (With the World). The X? Again inspired by Ian MacKaye and the punk scene, the X arose from the Mabuhay Gardens club in San Francisco marking MacKaye's first band the Teen Idles with an X on the back of their hands during a gig they played their while under the legal drinking age. It spread from San Francisco and was adopted by those over drinking age but who chose not to drink. The X itself is still widely seen in Straight Edge circles, often represented as XXX instead of the single X. The three Xs can be seen to represent MacKaye's "don't smoke, don't drink, don't fuck" outlook or as representative of mind, body and soul. Straight Edge can also be represented as sXe or hXc (a play on hardcore) |
