✖️30 years, still here✖️ I recently turned 44 (damn those toddler years were a crazy drug fueled haze. Lol.) nah, I've be been clean my who life but it wasn't until I was 14, after my brother got me into punk and hardcore with AFI, H2O, Earth Crisis, CIV and others that I made the choice, made the life long commitment to be Straight Edge. Yup I was that kid X'd up at school even. Lol
For me it has always been a personal choice. I've been in bands and had friends where I was the only Straight Edge one. I've seen other claim Edge, then shortly after fall away. I made the determination within myself that "when it comes down to it all, I will never fall." (Hold On - Dishevel [2001]).
For those that have made it 30, 20 and 10 years find your shirt at xdup.net. and for those just now claiming Edge...I'm proud of you. It was the best decision in my life and one of the constants I can count on. We have shirts for you too. So check it out and get X'd Up! Xdup.net
