In my experience, the majority of straightedgers are just self-righteous kids who think they're better than you. I wouldn't consider it a philosophy... maybe a ripoff of certain religious or other *real* philosophical beliefs. There are several philosophies which say "Don't drink, don't smoke, etc." But it's *cooler* to just say you're straightedge since it's *cooler* to belong to a smaller group. It makes kids feel like they belong. When they grow up, they will not say they are straightedge any longer, because that's just retarded.
