Acronym of the Straight Edge movement, born in the subculture of Hardcore Punk in the USA in the 80s, which promotes a life clean of alcohol, drugs and promiscuous sex with ecological, vegetarian and libertarian attitudes. The central X is their symbol that they put on the back of their hands, because in the beginning the underage members of a musical band were marked like this so as not to supply them with alcohol. The Straight Edge of Madrid said a few years ago: Freedom is not drunk, it is not smoked, it is not sniffed. Freedom is conquered. They had problems with justice because of the gag law.
