I agree with your little emo friends. Straight Edge is boring. Intelectually. So is being emo. So is being goth. So is being punk. And preppy. And jock. And prog. And every other stupid, dipshit label you can think of. Don't these people find it tedious being such enormous asses? You know what I am? I'm a human being. Maybe. I'm not sure that I even want to commit to that. Do people hear themselves when they speak? For instance, Ann Neely just wrote that someone doesn't understand what it means to be a goth. Do you really want to know what it means to be a goth? Jack shit. That's what it means. You get a bunch of morons togethor, you dress them all in black, you give them oversized pentagram "bling", and then you play some obnoxious techno. Yippee! It's a cocksucking goth party. And what does this all amount to? I think you can guess. Of course they will tell you that it's an alternative life style in which they shove al of our monetary and physical preoccupations in our face, blah, blah, bullshiit, bullshiit. They act like this because they think it's cool. Next time you have a goth tell you that they are a nonconformist, watch very closely and you should see a small trickle of feces drip from their ridiculous, black colored lips.

I... I finally see why Luke likes you so much. You are my hero of the day even if I don't know if I agree with all that. I certainly understand the perspective though: Labels basically mean nothing.

The root philosophy is the same, but the rest is different. "Straight Edge" has a whole seperate clothing style that goes with it in the US, but in the UK it doesn't have that, it's usually just adopted by the emo kids. Basically in the UK it's just another part of emo.
Scene kids hate straight edgers because they believe that getting absolutely shitfaced is the only way to have a really good time, and therefore think that straight edgers are boring because they refuse to do this. They also tend to think that the only reason people go straight edge is because they want to feel like they are superior to everyone else - they consider this arrogance but personally I think they're more worried about the competition.

Actually, that doesn't really sound much different than the American version. The only people I've ever met who call themselves straight edge wore the common emo attire. I don't really know of any clothing styles here that are only for straight edge kids. (I think I'd pick up on it if there was, but in all honesty, I'm so unobservant of these things that I may be overlooking it.) Are you sure there's a separate clothing style here? Heh, don't worry if you don't know. I'm just curious for no apparent reason.
