straight edge is and always was a movement based upon failed philosophies
Unlike bands now who promote being edge, earlier edge people, like the singer for Integrity, were edge for their own reasons. He was an addict previous to being edge and had some problems in the past. He hated/hates anyone who follows him being an edge for no particular reason. Back in the day, edge people were no where to be found. You would never know if someone was edge because no one really promoted it.
As I said, edge back in the day held some meaning and purpose, where as today it seems to be nothing more than a fad or style.
