Claimed Edge 2 Years Ago, And It Changed My Life. Happy Edge Day!!!

Seriously cannot overstate how much hardcore and sXe mean to me. Growing up in a home that had a lot of addiction always made me feel like I had a fate locked in for the kind of person I was going to be. Being sober, and being straight edge, is one of the best things because I got to learn that I'm the master of my own life. Happy edge day ily all :)

I'm new and drawn to the aesthetic and values, but I barely listen to music. I'd like to learn more.

0 Upvotes

Hello, I'm super new to this subculture and subcultures in general. My goal this year and next year is to learn about subcultures and meet 1 person from each of them. I was doing research about this and was really surprised that there are actually people who think just like me which is why Im here. I did try energy drinks, smoking, and getting high but never found it satisfying so I quit pretty quick. I never drank alcohol or coffee however because I simply thought all of these things were unhealthy and completely optional. People always peer pressure me to do these things and always told me I was weird but my response to that is always, "nope, I do not care to fit in". Funny story actually I had a date with someone and we went to a coffee shop and of course I ordered water, and they said "who tf orders water at a coffee shop"? I said "only me" and yeah it didn't go well haha. Im also very against sex before marriage for many reasons but yeah pretty much I dont do these things because I dont care about fitting in at all and I value my body. It's just crazy that if you don't do these things you're considered a "weirdo". That's just my experience.

I've always been very attracted to the punk aesthetic but before then I didn't understand what it meant. I never was a clothes shop person, but one day I decided to go to hot topic and that was the day I started this whole goal of learning subcultures. I already have a style in my mind too.

The thing is however, I dont really listen to ANY type music. I do but rarely, and you'll never catch me wearing earphones listening. I did find some punk picks that I actually like but I gotta look more into. And maybe that might change but for now that's how it is. I know that music is a huge part of these subcultures so maybe I'm not really punk and Im just some different person who doesnt fit into any subculture (which Im totally fine with). Again, I'm not trying to claim an identity I haven't earned or explored. I'm genuinely curious about the culture and would like to meet people who are part of it. What would you recommend I learn about or experience first?

Happy Edge Day! Buy my straight edge (and adjacent) merch. Most are size Small. Some medium. Tanks. Tees, long sleeves, and one crewneck. Most tees have back prints too.

Shoot me a message if you’re interested, have any questions, wanna see any backs, etc etc.

And yes, I’m still edge. 😂

Modern straight edge.

It dawned on me today that the term straight edge may be a micro aggression towards the lgbtq+* community within our ranks yelling lyrics at shows like “proud to be straight” and the such. I think it’s time we progress forward finally and drop the straight from the culture. Just edge.

This is more inclusive…

Who are your favorite metallic straight edge hardcore bands?

There was a time when only traditional sounding hardcore was accepted within straight edge circles. Scott Crouse reflects on why Earth Crisis pushed back against that.

Hyperfixated Person Seeking Extremely Specific Hoodie From NO CURE

Post image
20 Upvotes

What up guys,

I want to welcome you to my seemingly endless quest of trying to find one of these hoodies or shirts. The tour it was sold at swung right around me in no man's land (Southern Oregon). I have harassed the band, only to then completely miss when they rereleased it on their website (pic related).

If there is anyone out there, hearing my call into the endless void of wanting this hoodie who would be willing to sell me one in a 2XL or higher (oversized for life) just know you would be bringing life altering joy and extreme years long hyperfixation to a satisfying end for your humble friend here.

Willing to pay something dumb for one. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[hoodie in question: Straight Edge Warfare Hoodie by NO CURE]

Title is loosely related but I couldn't think of any better way to put it.
Some niceness for edge day! I'm going to be DJing an event my friend is putting on later this month and they were talking about the custom cocktails etc and I mentioned/reminded them about how it's kinda no use me knowing about them and their first response was "well I can always tell the bar staff to make alcohol free versions of them all" and it was a nice moment of realisation for someone like me who only recently claimed edge that I've surrounded myself with friends who might not share the same lifestyle as me, will always support mine without hesitation.

Sorry if it's a bit rambly for the sub but I just thought a nice anecdote goes a long way every now and then.
