Is this the one that focuses too much on the violence?
After watching it, I'd say it was pretty well done. Although I'm not too sure about those 8th graders near the end. Sure you can experience durgs and alcohol at a younger age, but does that really make them more "mature". Once they enter/come out of high school will they still have the same mindset.

Shit's over the top. I don't drink or do drugs but I don't feel like I need to be a part of some quasi-gang with matching tattoos and flat beak hats.

I'm the laziest straight-edge person ever. I just use it as an excuse to not drink or do drugs. I don't need to put x's on my hand or anything to do that.

Why does there need to be a label for this, why not just "I dont drink or do drugs"?

Because as non-conformist as kids like to think they are,
they are fucking retards and decide being in a non-conformist group of a certain style is better

It's way easier to feel accepted and part of something when it has a name.

It's way easier to feel accepted and part of something when it has a name. this seems plausible, i have yet to watch the links posted because my internet has shitty bandwith so i dont know if it explains it in the vid or not.

Over half of these kids are going to have a hard time explaining their sxe tattoos to some chic whilst pounding back jagerbombs 5 years from now.
The Boston Beatdown video is also...interesting.

i liked the video a lot. but definitely those little kids at the end were kinda gay.
and i thought for a couple years claiming edge was stupid and just being a kid who didnt drink or do drugs was sweet. and then i decided that i seriously never want to drink or do drugs in my life, and being a part of something a lot bigger than me keeps me wanting to continue the life style. and i really hate when people throw around straight edge so loosely and break it. that's probably my biggest problem with it. but you can do what you want, and i'll do what i want, just dont make what i believe in look stupid. love, joey

question that was floating around for awhile. isnt tattoo ink technically poison? so why do most people claiming to be straight edge get tattoos?
