I don't try to impose my lifestyle onto you

Desecrated beat me to it, but straight edge is an entire music based around abstinence from drugs and alcohol. It started in the 80s in the hardcore punk scene. Most straight edge bands nowadays fall into some category of punk, generally spun off of hardcore punk.

I like a few straight edge bands, but I don't listen to music according to their views on drugs... or on anything, really. It seems really limiting and pointless.

Portnoy used to smoke pot
Vai too (when he was a teenager).
Rudess used drugs too.
That's what I know and recall right now.

i know, but to consider yourself straight edge is like announceing to the world that your sober, its a tad silly i think to have to be in a club or a group. i never have to announce to the world that i'm a pot head, i only tell when people ask. Even though i'm not straight edge, i dont consider my self to be in the drug edge gang, i try not to classify people like that and just take them on an individual level

I recently joined my long time friend's metal band.

We're pretty much as straight-edge as it gets.

Everyone's gonna hate us..

lol

Ok. I think this has seriously got a bit out of hand. The OP was just looking for some bands that he can relate to on a lifestyle level. I can relate to that as someone who is straight edge.

I wouldn't go far enough to dislike a band because of drug use (unless they're promoting it. I'd say that most of my musical heroes have used drugs at one time or another (Vai, Satch, Borland, etc.) and it would be nice to have guys dong similar things as you so you don't feel... well... separate is the only word that really comes to mind. I can relate to how he's feeling.

And 7SoH: stop acting so god damn persecuted.
