about

On The Edge : “Crush your X Swatch
All your dough for a perfect edge outfit
6 thousand for a fuckin’ piece of wax
I don’t give a fuck about your collector’s shit”

On The Edge deals with the addictive drift of the straight edge merchandising and the relationship to the image that results from it, and that sometimes only comes down to posting on social media, to the detriment of going to shows and actually being active in the scene. It is an addictive, consuming and non-emancipating drift, in total opposition with the values which are, in our opinion, carried by the straight edge movement.
It’s like a tribute to the “in yo face” straight edge songs, dim-witted and exaggerated lyrics to demonstrate the absurdity of the situation.
There are some references to actual things. Just an example, when we say “6 thousand for a fuckin’ piece of wax” we refer to the most expensive vinyl sold on Discogs. The unlistenable Chung King Can Suck It by Judge. One copy was sold for $6,000 in 2015. And we just checked, another 2 copies sold for $8000 last year. Even Mike Judge said he was bewildered by this shit. It’s unthinkable and above all unbearable.
How can you spend all this money in a hardcore punk straight edge vinyl, this is in total opposition to all the values carried by this subculture. Has the edge gone bourgeois?

lyrics

Lyrics :

Do you really think it’s just fucking fashion?
My dedication has more value than your fuckin’ shit

Crush your X Swatch
All your dough for a perfect edge outfit
6 thousand for a fuckin’ piece of wax
I don’t give a fuck about your collector’s shit

You know nothing, you’re a joke
You just act like a fucking fraud
I can’t stand what you do
Fuck you and your, fucking fake crew

Fuck you and your fucking fake crew you fuckin’ fake ass

Straight edge till death
Don’t make it a fucking business
All you posers out there
Make me lose the faith

Fuck the fake, make it right
Act the fact, no backbite
Still and always drug free
Sick of your lack of integrity

You’re a poster boy for hypocrisy
Never heard of the word authenticity

I hate everything that you stand for
Can’t stand keeping the fucking score
I hate everything that you stand for
Can’t stand keeping the fucking score
