Straight Edge
"Why not tell the truth? Moreover, why not call this group of individuals for what it is, namely a collective body of sociopaths! To imply a depth that isn't there is not fair to the reader. I mean, I've seen some of the dumbest kids who subscribe to this stuff. Calling it a subculture implies it is a culture. Culture, by definition, should not be associated with unruly morons who are against the status quo and who pride themselves on not having a motive for being against the status quo. It's like trying to find a zen experience in the antics pee wee Herman. The author, like the straight edgers themselves, attempts to envision the depth of a Socrates in the madcap protégé whose head has been hit too many times in the mosh pit. That's not fair to the kids, nor too the reader. These kids need to know that their lives have been manipulated by leftist juwes who want to harness their energies in support of a socialistic agenda."
