Straight Edge

Straight edge is a subculture and subgenre of hardcore punk whose adherents refrain from using alcohol, tobacco, and other recreational drugs. It was a direct reaction to the sexual revolution, hedonism, and excess associated with punk rock. For some, this extends to not engaging in promiscuous ***, following a vegetarian or vegan diet, and not using caffeine or prescription drugs.The term was adopted from the song "Straight Edge" by the 1980s hardcore punk band Minor Threat.


Straight edge emerged amid the mid-1980s hardcore punk scene. Since then, a wide variety of beliefs and ideas have been incorporated into the movement, including vegetarianism, animal rights,communism and Hare Krishna beliefs. In many parts of the United States, straight edge is treated as a gang by law enforcement officials. A 2006 study suggested that the vast majority of people who identify as straight edge are nonviolent.

Sa binisaya pa, mao ni sila ang mga rakers nga di mu inum, di manigarilyo, ug di mag drugs. Ang uban kay extended ang pagka straight edge sa pag avoid ug "casual ***" (masabtan ra), vegetarianism (umm sige pwede ra), protecting animal rights (overs gamay), ug ang uban mo refuse ug gamit bisan prescription drugs lang (pinaka OVERS, di guro ni sila manginum ug biogesic kung labdan ug ulo). Pero ang main tenets jud kay "Don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs"

Personally, I can't classify myself as straight edge since I drink occasionally especially during social gatherings. Pero other than that, I adhere to the said principles. I don't know if naa bay movement nga ing-ani diri sa Cebu. Any opinions about this mga rakistas?

Notable Straight edge musicians/bands: Andy Hurley (drummer of FOB), Beau Bokan (Vox of blessthefall), and Have Heart (band) among many others.

Uo, naay tattoo ang uban. Pero wa man sad nay apil sa ila pledge.

Murag way of self expression nana nila.

I think ang ilang pledge lang gyud kay ang pag likay ug intake sa drugs, alcohol, ug cigarettes.
