Lately i have been baffled at people in general conforming to "straight edge". Don't get me wrong, i have nothing but respect for kids that choose to follow this lifestyle. Although, it seems lately that anyone that is involved with the hardcore/punk/indie/etc "scene" that doesn't do drugs or drink feels the need to label themselves as straight edge and join this following. Now im sure that sounds like great news to alot of people considering it means that a larger amount of people are not getting involved with substances that contribute to destroying your health. What does annoy me is that these people go on and off with little spirts smoking cigarettes, or maybe having a drink or getting stoned on occasion every year or so then continue to label themselves as straight edge and make up excuses. You don't HAVE to be apart of that movement just because at the time your not feeling like taking part in these things. Does it really make you that much cooler? Does it get you the points you need to get in with cool exclusive group? Please do the favor of leaving the kids that are passionate of their being and dedicated to what they believe in. Please.
Ps. I'm just waiting for all the kids that cursed out 4/20 to each other as a stupid "holiday" to be making posts on a local forum about EDGE DAY this year. Talk about being a hypocrite. There basically the same holiday just with the tables turned.
