Greetings People of the Off-Topic community.
So,recently I've been thinking on making a life decision.As you can guess,that decision is to be Straight Edge.To be Straight Edge you must not Drink/Smoke/Do Drugs,I've neven done any of them.It is also good to have tattoos and piercing.Now,im kinda sceptical about the tattos.I mean they arent mendatory and i've always been afraid of having a tatoo (I once saw a friend of mine getting a tatto and the expression on his face was horrible,you can litrelly see the enromeous pain he is feeling).But after 3-4 years im defenetly getting a piercing.
However,what stops me from being Straight Edge is the punk music.I dont hate it,I
love
Punk music...its just that i prefer Metal (alternative Metal/Rock to be exact).So,what i wanna ask the Wowhead community is can anybody be Straight Edge without having a tatoo and listening to Punk music.Not that i dont listen to Punk,what i mean is i listen to Alternative Metal/Rock a bit more then Punk music.

The thing about subcultures is that you don't really "become" one like you join the YMCA. So if you're not already in or being drawn into a certain culture just being you, then it's probably not for you. If you are, then you should already have the answers.

Did anyone else find it incredibly ironic that, in order to join a subculture that promotes resisting temptations typically brought on by peer pressure (drinking, smoking, and drugs), the OP feels somewhat pressured into getting a tattoo he doesn't actually want all that much?

Hey, plenty of temples have really cool friezes, I guess.
I sort of thought Straight Edge was all about resisting peer pressure, which is why that struck me so forcefully.

Why do you have to join a pompous and silly subculture? You wanna be drug-free, good for you. I respect that. Doesn't mean you have to "fit in" with a noisy minority who also don't do any kind of drug.

Actually I havent thinked of that really.Why does Straight Edge require having a tatoo/piercing when they represent protection of the body and I personally view having a tattoo as Masochism.Hhhmmm interesting indeed...
