HEY. I’d like the record to show that I lasted until I was almost 23. Thank God I never was tempted beyond a 30-second whim to get a tattoo showing my ‘edge pride.
Of course, I was just afraid of alcohol and what it might do to me and “straight edge” was a nice way to cover that up. Especially as a listener of hardcore music.
I still have my straight edge friends, and I respect their choice, but sometimes I need a beer or a gin and tonic to tie up my evening.
