A lifestlye, A movement, A promise. Straight Edge was originally started By Ian McAye and the band Minor Threat in 1981. Being Straight edge is keeping yourself pure and not polluting your body with Alchohol, Drugs, and other Substances. Some Straight Edge followers do not eat meat or dairy, some do not ingest caffine, or even sugar. The Mark of Straight edge is three X's (X X X) sometimes abreviated sXe, Straight Edge followers typically wear two X's on the backs of their hands at hardcore shows, or sometimes everyday, Bouncers back in the day would mark underaged concergoers so bartenders would know not to serve them alchoholic beverages, so the Straight Edge followers took that symbol and made it into their mark. Many Followers belive that the three X's stand for: No Alchohol, No Drugs, No Sex (permiscious sex), but some think it stands for Body, Mind, and Soul.
