[QUOTE=(r)evolution;13430361]Must just be toronto then, most teenage edge kids are a'ssholes, they beleive in this "Strength through Purity" crap and look down on kids who happen to drink or f'uck or smoke. I actually got spit on once for offering a kid a sip of my beer. It just consumes their lives so much then instead of being "My name is Joe and i happen to be straight edge" its "Im straight edge and my name happens to be joe". They're fanatics.[/QUOTE]

I am in Toronto all the time for shows and I have not witnesses this. I'm not saying this doesn't go on, for sure, but we can't generalize that everyone who claims Straight-Edge are militant. Some people do become militant about their beliefs if they don't get their way, and I think we all know what that is.

[QUOTE=Permanent Solution;13430385]That's silly. The kids I meet are of the sort where I'd offer them a sip and they'd say "No thanks man, I don't drink." Pretty polite middle class type kids, you know?

If some sxe kid spit on me he'd probably be on the floor in a second because offering someone a sip of beer isn't insulting, spitting on someone is.

But individuality is always more important to me than group identity (hell, I don't group myself in any group tbh), but I know there are always kids who make their group identity their identity. I mean, look at how gangs work.[/QUOTE]

yeah the kid who spit on me wished he didnt pretty quick. But i agree, if someone just told me "no i dont smoke/drink" etc id be fine with it. I find usually kids who are so into something like a subculture to the point that it takes over is just a way of filling in a gap for something else in their life.

i didn't say they were all militant. I just find that most teenage straight edgers are militant or assholish. Once they hit over 20 they seem to cool off or lose straight edge completely. These are also kids who are edge one week then switch back the other.

I associate with lots of people who aren't straight edge but I'm straight edge. Maybe you guys are just big pricks.

Whatever, people are stupid.

yeah that must be it

[QUOTE=coheneran;13430397]Lol, it sounds like Nirvana, if Kurt Cobain was on fast-forward or something. I like. Adds.[/QUOTE]

I am proud to better my local scene and help lesser known bands get their music out.

[QUOTE=Skrunnch;13430541]That kid is stupid.[/QUOTE]

The kid that got busted or me?

I read one to many straight edge arguements on Mx and now I unconsciously skip over them.

[QUOTE=Skrunnch;13430577]I have pretty scene pants. Empire slims.[/QUOTE]

baggy pants are so uncomfortable

[QUOTE=SantaDuJuan;13430605]The kid that got busted or me?[/QUOTE]

I would've said "Juan, you're stupid" :)

[QUOTE=(r)evolution;13430615]baggy pants are so uncomfortable[/QUOTE]

True. Tightish jeans are the most comfortable and best looking jeans ever. Not too tight, but I like not much loose jean on my legs and my *** to be TIGHT.

[QUOTE=(r)evolution;13430615]baggy pants are so uncomfortable[/QUOTE]
If "scene pants" in canada are baggy then thats exactly the opposite than here.

Yeah srsly. "Scene pants" here = girl pants.
