What is sxe?

"Straight edge" (often abbreviated as "sXe") is a lifestyle and subculture that originated within the hardcore punk music scene in the 1980s. The term "straight edge" was first coined by the band Minor Threat in their song of the same name, which espoused a drug-free and clean living philosophy.

Those who identify as straight edge typically abstain from alcohol, tobacco, recreational drugs, and promiscuous sex. Many also avoid caffeine and prescription drugs unless absolutely necessary. Straight edgers often believe that these substances can hinder personal growth, harm the body, and distract from achieving their full potential.

Aside from living a drug-free lifestyle, some adherents of straight edge also emphasize the importance of healthy living, physical fitness, and social responsibility. Straight edge values often include respect for oneself and others, perseverance, self-discipline, and a commitment to positive change.

While straight edge was initially associated with the hardcore punk music scene, it has since evolved into a broader movement with adherents from various backgrounds and interests. Some straight edgers express their beliefs through music, art, activism, or community involvement.

Overall, straight edge is a personal choice and lifestyle that promotes sobriety, self-improvement, and a commitment to values that align with individual beliefs and goals.
