Just because you don’t drink and smoke, doesn’t make you edge.
I was straight edge until I was 28. Saw the band Thursday at a local VFW when I was 13/14 and Geoff Rickley Had a distro of items for sale and told me a few straight edge bands to check out.
From then I got into it big. Had a straight edge band, have a tattoo. Did the whole letterman jacket thing. I sort of grew out of it as I grew out of being involved in the hardcore scene.
I refuse to give names hetfiled a pass because it’s just a grab at his “roots” Same with his $700 battle vest

Also, I was with Chris from motionless in White the day he got his first edge tattoo. Used to go to shows together once a week.
Also, add Andre 3000 from OutKast to the list

Not that I got the inspiration/idea from anybody we all know or anything but... I've always been straight edge. Never done anything in my 23, nearly 24 years of life, but don't care what other people choose to do. Got the tattoo because it's one thing I have to be proud of myself for, especially coming from a family that had an abusive alcoholic of a grandfather, drug addicted uncles, chain smokers, etc...

Triple H definitely would have to be considered straight edge or at least he was but then again I don't know

I create cap limit, I allow myself to drink 10 times a year. It doesn't matter where or when. Smoking Green, I don't regulate but it's expensive so my wallet regulates that. I'll smoke a cigarette like four times a year if that.

I don’t drink, smoke or do drugs. Been that way forever. I’m also vegan. I suppose I’m Straight Edge? I listen to a lot of bands that are/were edge as well.

I don't drink, smoke, or do any drugs....not for the sole purpose of being straight edge or trying to prove a point; I just don't feel the desire to do any of those things. I also don't eat candy, drink soda, or consume other "unhealthy" things just because I don't believe they are good for me.
Again, I'm not sitting there going "in order to remain straight edge I need to avoid x,y,z, etc"....it's just really a coincidence. I just want to be in good shape, really.

^^^ that is true, real straight edge means you should be vegan, like punk and bryan, it is not only about alc/smoke it is about TOXINS and these can be found in food, some straight edgers binge on fast food.
but one thing that is stronger than being straight edge, is having the power to be able to consume anything in moderation - that is a balanced lifestyle, have a couple of beers and feel good and be able to say "no more thanks" drinking and smoking doesn't make you a bad person.
Vegans lack natural essential vitamins, they take pills aka pharmaceutical aka drugs... so it is really difficult to claim such thing. maybe the straight edge means 'no man made substances'?
people with addictions have problems and should not be easily judged.
and yes Triple H was SE and always was, Kliq members have all commented on it, he was the designated driver, he was always the brain and it has paid off! (if you don't count the steroids lol)

(if you don't count the steroids lol) You are very Misinformed sir. Straight edge was coined a term for those who don’t drink, smoke or do recreational drugs. Vegan straight edge came later, but is not one in the same. Vegans Don’t need to take pills to get vitamins, proteins, ect.

I don't see the need for a label, just do you... but it's a great thing if you do take care of yourself that way. It's a choice and I give props to those who don't feel the need to take on the pressures. Plus, it's great you can still have fun without feeling the "need" to drink. Definitely a bit of that culture when I was in school etc.

I really don’t understand using the label if you’re not part of the scene

I just don't see the need to label yourself for any reason about anything. Just do you.

Anyone else get tired of the reactions and questions you get when you reveal that you don't drink and have never touched it in your life? How do you combat the questions, the close mindedness and the judgment. I really don't care what people like that think but I'm intrigued to hear how you all respond to those types of people. If they're polite I just tell them how it is, that nothing about it has ever appealed to me and it's just not something I want to do. But the judgmental types, who look down on you or consider you a weirdo and make snide remarks or looks, those are the ones that irk me because it says a lot more about them than it does about me if they can't have fun without alcohol. To me, that's pretty damn sad. In general I've never judged people who drink, it's never bothered me, live and let live, it's just a choice. So it does kind of annoy me when drinkers are so damn judgmental and sanctimonious towards people who don't drink. It's some ing vegan level sh*t.
