Richard And Judy

Just found this on the channel four website:

Straight Edgers
Straight Edgers are a subculture of people who don't drink, don't smoke, don't take drugs or have casual sex and are usually vegan. Their beliefs and passion for the subculture are born out of the music, which is called 'Hardcore' and is a derivitive of Punk. Some Straightedgers will be discussing their beliefs in the studio.

This is on Richard and Judy tonight - channel four, 5 o clock.

  Apart from the Vegan and music bit they sound like the poverty stricken, dirt farming, god fearing, teetotalling turn of the century ancestors of mine!

  ahahahahaha! They look like them spanners at that were watching dillinger escape plan at leeds. How do they listen to music when they're doing all that? I suspect theyre not actually into music at all, they just like throwing themselves around because deep down theyre big insecure babies (thats all people who partake in 'moshing')

Re: Richard And Judy

Shit, i missed this thread before. Have they been on yet? Hopefully Richard said something typically stupid and offensive.

  I had a pint knocked out of my hand once by one of them as 'he was doing it for my own good'

    Perhaps someone should tell them that despite the wholesome family image and cheesy smiles - Judy is an alleged heavy drinker and smarmface with her was once done for shoplifting.
    Tsk, tsk, tsk.

    Nice guy. Actually the ones on Richard and Judy didn't seem so bad, it's the militant straight edgers that wind me up. I still don't see the point of alligning a bunch of moral codes with a music scene though.
    
    Richard really is the real life Alan Partrdige isn't he?

        Minor Threat had a track Straight Edge which said that they don't drink etc and this name stuck to the lifestyle, by accident more than by design.

        Oh right sorry. I forgot to consult the hardcore/straight edge DiS FAQ. How silly of me.

Re: Richard And Judy

Apart from the vegan part, and the punk bit that's exactly like me, but im not going to knock the pint out of anyone's hand or criticise their lifestyle cos that's just ignorant.

  Straight Edgers have been around for ages haven't they? I remember reading about them when I was a teenager. I don't see a problem with people wanting to live that way.

    Fair enough if you're 'straight edge' right, but the thing I hat is idiots who rub it in your face like they're the king of the world, purely because they don't get drunk.
    
    At Reading last year, we were sitting around our campsite having a beer and smoke post-Saturday, and some people came and joined us. Fair enough, we're friendly and all that. So we offered one of them a beer, and he turned it down claiming he was straight edge. So we gave him some light-hearted banter about not having any balls etc (just banter..) and they pissed off. Next night, he comes over, pissed as a fart, and says we've turned his life around. So we told him to fuck off and not abandon his principles. StraightEdge is a way of life, people, not some random decision.
    
    Maybe we're not as friendly as I first thought we were...

      I've honestly never heard of this straight-edge thing at all, is it to do with Henry rollins (he doesn't 'do' anything either i think) ?
      
      I think trying to 'force' people to do whatever you are means you must be slightly insecure about it, i'm not meaning you as in YOU, bamos, by the way, im just talking generally. And yes i can imagine it is annoying when people try to act superior cos they don't do something.

    It's like a religion to some people. And if they've discovered this wonderful new idea that keeps them healthy and makes them happy, then I can understand why they want to spread the news. But then they should also understand that most people who drink do so not through ignorance, but becasue they like it and it makes them happy.
    
    That said, I don't drink and I don't go round trying to convert people, but it's very hard to hear someone moaning about their hangover, expecting sympathy and not want to grab them and shout, right into their face, "STOP FUCKING MOANING, YOU BROUGHT IT ON YOURSELF YOU STUPID TWAT." That's the equivalent of me sitting next to you while you're on your tenth pint, moaning about how I haven't lost all my inhibitions yet.
