Somnebody who follows the
straight edge philosophy. That is, a person who respects their body
*by not consuming alocohol
*by not consuming other drugs
* by not having casual sex.
Some straight
edgers are also vegan(or vegetarian) but this has nothing to do with being straight edge.
Some edgers (the abbreviation for straight edgers)have become
sxe (the abbreviation for straight edge) because it is "cool" but most recognise it is a healthy, mature way of life.
Straight edgers, in my opinion (I'm edge), should not try and convert people or force them into becoming straight edge, because it is a life style choice.
Example:
Person: Hey, do you want a drink / some drugs?
True
edger: No thankyou, I'm a straight edger.
--or--
Person: Hey, do you want a drink?
False trend-following edger: No, 'cause I'm like totally a straight edger and you suck because you drink. *gets
