I think i could listen to ian mackaye talk for hours - whenever I see interviews with him I wish they never end. That dude has such wise insights.

I, personally, feel proud of myself for stepping out of the mold to be apart of the countless straight edge individuals around the world. Drug free for life!!! Straight edge forever!!!

I was edge for 4 years ( 19 - 23) and you know what I don't need to have a title to define who I am, I have enough strength and commitment to make my own choices. Nowadays I can have 1 or 2 beers and be fine. At the end of the day, its all about living your life to the full, so I'm going to do just that. (now if I only knew how to change my youtube name hahah!)

Straight edge lifer, about 90% of everyone I knew that was edge has sold out, I remain strong,loyal and dedicated to the X.

So many kids went through edge like a fad during high school... I have been edge since I discovered it at 15 but still have never touched a drop of alcohol or drugs in my 20 years of life. I can proudly say it has put me in the amazing position that I am today and I will never turn my back on sXe because it will never turn it's back on me. With that being said, what's life for some isn't right for some and that's always how it's going to be.

@ All those who say "yea you dont end up in jail or dead when you drink or smoke". I personally do not think that that is their beliefs. Maybe those who were interviewed had a drug history and Straight edge helped them to get out of it because they found people who supported them, which is the best thing to happen for such a person.

I don't know why some of you guys are saying bad stuff about straight edge. Straight edge has helped many people. Its not a bad thing if you don't want to do drugs or drink or any of that shit. Its my life and its your life too so if u want to smoke weed or drink or anything I'm not gonna judge you cuz its your life but the thing is I don't say shit about what u chose to do with your life but it's okay for you to hate on my chooses for my life!

@Kaspal thanks !!

Pretty stupid how everyone keeps bitching about scene or emo kids like it matters to them. Pretty rad. Edge is the way to be, its the ultimate self respect. Whether you symbolize it with X's on your fists or not, be proud of who you are. You have dominated all of the nonsense that seems to catch the majority of people as they grow up. Its not hard, its smart; Its right. Lookin forward to the Docu.

Have Heart and Earth Crisis, most inspirational bands ever =)

That is exactly correct. I know a few kids who claim Edge, but are just ignorant and violent, and think that because they have drug free tattooed on them they are the edgiest of edge kids.

i dont think you need to "claim edge" to not do drugs or drink. nuff said. oh and i have no idea what the song is called but explosions in the sky makes amazing music that sounds just like that :D

i'm not straight edge, never have been. i respect it, but have questions. for example: it always seemed to me that for edge guys, the violence was the drug. it's not a criticism, just the way it looked to me. any thoughts?

that clip of have heart is insane.

@enniemeanieminnie I'm gunna guess that Ford Edge is a truck or something? I'm watching cuz it's on a public website and I was curious about how Straight Edge got started cuz a lot of my friends used to be Edge.

I NEED this on dvd :)

@MikeCapello and is the reason why I didnt drown in alcohol and are now straight edge for almost 6 years. Think before you comment

STRAIGHT EDGE POR SIEMPRE

I wouldn't say straight edge is a trend at the moment, a lot of people are breaking edge.

straight edge has just turned into a competition about how 'edge' you can be, its not about the 3 simple rules anymore. These comments below just prove that and its a really, really sad thing to see.

@PeterBraa I totally understand this. Where I'm from, EVERYONE claims edge, yet the day they turn 21, oh I might have Edge tattoos, but I'm gonna drink now. Its a disgusting thing. I feel like everyone should be able to think for themselves, and instead of being pushed by the frivolity of our time, they should stand up and STICK WITH IT! If they make a lifelong commitment, thats what it should be!

October 3rd

@smirov It's not "wrong" its just the bigger majorities ideals. No one person is "right" The TRUE meaning of Straight Edge is what you yourself see fit. No one can force you to fit a mold.

@TheShang7 So what you're saying is that since he created the term, he can say whatever he wants about it and he's right? I think not. Especially if he's using the wrong terminology. You can't just use a word to describe something you created and it means that you're right. You just can't.

very true

@risnerj Exactly. He chose to live that lifestyle. Therefore he can't choose to drink or smoke when he wants, because the lifestyle he's chosen for himself won't allow him to do that.

anyone know where i can download this? i will end up buying it but i wanna see it

what he's implying is that by living without any substances you're living simply and purely as 'yourself' and that by keeping away from that shit you're just living your life. i get what you're saying tho. btw, its ian mackaye, he wrote the song "straight edge" and other songs explaining the ideology this is all based on

I tried smoking once, and I never drank a full glass of alcohol ever, but I don't consider myself straight edge. I consider this a lifestyle though, it's called a "healthy lifestyle". I don't think I'm better than anyone, but you gotta be smart with what you do, or you'll end up dead. Just work at a rehab facility for a few days trust me, and it's not a hard choice...

Anyone know what the song is that comes in after the Have Heart section??? Looking forward to seeing this.

is it someone who knows what the song in the background is called, or what group it is?

I want so see this movie but can't find it anywhere. ;(

SXE From Montreal, same...I can't do moral speech. I lost to much time and money on alcohol... It's my Edge now.

@sammpaull2722 Most people aren't aware that most modern music is so extremely loud due to technology standards that everyone will have some significant hearing loss when they're older. It's the same for drugs/drinking. Most people who DO them aren't thinking when they use them, and they use it as a cheap means of escape.

what i would have given to see have heart their an then, that gig looks like a whole bunch of fun

im saying this off my friends profile!! but im am not straightedge im just clean dont doubt me i support the idea of it hell ive even thought about going edge before but i think its cool that thyr making this documentary i think itll be interesting and will support the idea of straightedge i say good luck too it

release the dvd ASAP

@enniemeanieminnie What makes you think I was getting my information from this trailer? I just wanted to watch it cuz it was on youtube and my friend was talking about it. I'm a fan of documentaries and he recommended this one to me. Sorry if you think that I get all my information from youtube, but like you said, your assumption was most definitely wrong. :] haha

I need this movie please 🙏

what have heart song is that? im new to them which is sad b/c theyre done

sick!!!! i really wanna know where the rest of that live video of have heart is..

We are team sXe, for life.

I dont know when this will be out, but I know I want a copy in dvd without a doubt!

Were can I watch this online

what song did they use at the end?

@Jacarter99 Yeah, same here. I know people who have tattoos and everything of it, but now they are at a bar every weekend.

Is this being released in Australia?

@thejohnolds1 which song by tristeza is it?

i hear ya man but there are plenty of things in life that you dont need that are pretty great though like fast cars, good tasting food, internet, and even music but they are things that can potential enrich your life. alcohol may poison the mind and body but cannabis on the other hand is less harmful and addictive than caffeine and just because your in a different state of mind doesn't necessarily mean its foggy or opaque one. I'm not trying to push weed on anyone just, throwing that out there.

how did the band called at the intro 0:22 ???

Interested in the dvd too!

good life!!

@ryandouglas09 actually its xAFBx

straight edge LvL 84!

Does someone know when this movie comes out? havent found more then this trailer... please replay to me or send a channel comment if you know more =D. sXe.... stay true till death...

sxe since 08. stronger than ever.

RIP Verse

I am always "the kid with the x's on his hands" everywhere I go, I love it. #Minority

@milo342 what is that have heart song?

it annoys me how people say being straight edge is a "commitment". I choose not to walk around outside naked. it isn't a life commitment to abstaining from nudism. it's just a personal choice. as is abstaining from drink/drugs. it's a choice. the reason you don't take heroin is because you don't want to not because you call yourself straight edge.

@StraightEdgeHBK It's not about rules, that's where everyone gets the idea that we are a "cult". You can't force judgment on someone until you yourself know what they go through. Straight Edge is about being committed; not seeing who can be better at it.

I like that!

I agree but I think being posi will convince more people in the long run... 'cause when you're too aggressive about your beliefs people will think you are blaming them personally and will defend themselves by doing exactly the opposite of what you suggest. We have to show people there's a choice and trust that every human does see the positive outcome of being straight edge.

STraight edge 4 life!!!! when the movie commin out 4 real

@775renoguy You do realize "the guy in the beginning" is Ian Mackaye, the dude who wrote the lyrics to "Straight Edge" by Minor Threat? I'm sure he's the most credible out of all of these people. You should really do some research...It's not that hard...

And i think it is not about that alcohol is the worst enemy of the people and thats why you gotta be straight edge but just to live a positive lifestyle where you do not need drugs for and thats a good thing. btw I'm not straight edge but i respect the people who honestly do that because our society is drug addicted. Imagine how many people would go crazy if there would be no drugs for a week

Does anyone know the name of the song starting at 0:53 ?

@666RIPblink182 Watch Me Sink, and nice name btw, so glad there back!

Pat Flynn is my hero

@StraightEdgeHBK I know this. I am not religious at all. Passing judgment just gets a lot of people in trouble.

Armed for Battle? ya, i'd say they are.

@HeavyMetalHunter96 Good for you?

@Lumberjackowns he created this term, so he can say whatever he wants about it

The guy at the beginning is the reason why straight edge even exists. You fail.

@enniemeanieminnie Like I said. Being Straight Edge is a lifestyle. You just proved my point.

Who is the college professor dude in the film?

@xFrankieDx just buy it. its worth it

@Lumberjackowns Ah, my bad. I was jumping to conclusions and thinking that you were edge. My apologies.

@Corebyheart You are right. The music is not a reason to be Edge, and being Edge doesn't mean you have to listen to the music. I know a LOT of edge people who would rather sit and listen to some country music. Honestly, I think it has been taken too far on some levels.

Have Heart - Watch Me Sink

I've stopped doing drugs and drinking but not smoking yet :P i probably wont but i just love to smoke weed :) but much respect for the people who don;t ! keep it up :D:D:D

I mean, it´s ok not to drink...but KEEP IT TO YOURSELVES!

0:41 Do a barrel roll. I want to see this so bad!

To everyone who thinks that labeling oneself is pointless, I just want to say that it's not so much a label, than it is a way of identifying and unifying a group of like-minded people. If you think about it, saying you're "drug-free" is, in a way, similar to saying "straight edge", so don't beat people down for using a different diction. It's okay if you don't identify as "straight edge"- to each their own- but don't be hypocritical.

cashing in?

you dont think so?

No, I'd think they didn't invite you because you'd feel uncomfortable being there while everyone else is drinking. I'm only thinking that because I can't stand being around a bunch of drunk idiots unless I'm also drunk or high. But I hardly drink and you can't smoke in public so I don't get invited to bars either. Which I'm thankful for. (Oh, most my family are alcoholics too, so I know how that goes.. I never wanted to drink either, for a long time, didn't till after turning 21.)

@guitarmessiah95 Its not THEIR choices that make you edge; its YOUR choices.

@parada69 So?

@gladysdoomcookie818 SXE LA as well whaaaaaaaaaaa

@MonsterBloodX19 I look at straight edge this way. I'm not a better person than you because I'm straight edge. But we're all better people when we're sober. We're safer, we're smarter, we're more focused, we're stronger as people, you and I both. We simply don't ever give that up.

Do you have proof that their listening to their particular taste in music at deafening levels?

SXE For life Poison Free Youth!

is it really that hard to live your life without alcohol/drugs/smoking? it's pretty fucking easy to me, and to the guy who said "it's not easy to be the guy without a beer in your hand at a party" i'm living proof that it's actually very easy, here's the way i see it, don't do something if you know you'll be glad you didn't tomorrow

@eeisom7064 i don't care if the people arround me are drinking or doing drugs, that doesn't matter, i think about what i do, not about what people arround me do

@guitarmessiah95 Of course! Your friends don't define who you are. And you're actually dealing with peer pressure, or at very least in a situation where you're in the minority, where you're the one going against the norms. Some people claim edge who have never even been in the same room as drugs. I don't want to say they're "less" straight edge, but it's definitely less of a significant life choice that way.

nothing, its when you abuse it is when its bad. I personally think you CAN drink responsibly, not drink to get drunk. There is no using drugs/smoking weed responsibly though.

because you dont need it. Clear minded to make a difference
