Where'd all the straight-edge people go?

We found out acid is all fun no downside
Apart from the awkward social encounters with normies.

Oh, you're scared of trying new things that might get you in trouble, that's fair, police states and whatnot
I'm not sure what you mean LOL
Not sure how you got that idea from what I wrote, but drugs are actually legal to buy and consume where I live. Doing acid wouldn't get me in trouble with the authorities! Well, unless I had a really bad trip and did illegal things, I guess, but I doubt that's likely.

No that's not straight edge, you have to be sober but also still part of the punk/hardcore subcultures where you'd be expected to partake.
Ah, ok, then that's not me.

Fuck em, they suck.

People that listen to hardcore that abstain from drugs and alcohol and commonly also from eating meat. They were easily recognizable by having painted a large sXe with a marker on their hand and maybe some additional letters on top and bottom for their particular flavour of Straight Edge. Here in Sweden they were quite common amongst punk rockers from the mid eighties up to late nineties.
From you link:
While the commonly expressed aspects of the straight edge subculture have been abstinence from alcohol, nicotine, and illegal drugs, there have been considerable variations. Disagreements often arise as to the primary reasons for living straight edge.
Wouldn't having to justify why you're making a choice to someone be anti-punk in general? If someone is disagreeing with you for you choosing to be "straight edge" shouldn't the punk response to them be: "Fuck you"?
Additionally, if someone that is "straight edge" is telling someone else they should also be straight edge, isn't the response to them also "Fuck you"?

I would agree completely. But you know when kids have discovered politics they are righteous and annoying as fuck for a while until they gain other perspectives and learn to humble down. I know i was one back when the dinosaurs roamed.
