"Straight-edge." The term was coined by the hardcore punk band Minor Threat (who founded the Straight-Edge movement). Not all straight-edge people have the same beliefs, but, generally speaking, most straight-edge punks are against people taking any kind of drugs -- including prescription drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes.
The basics of a Straight-Edge lifestyle involves not drinking alcohol, not smoking cigarettes, and not taking recreational drugs such as Cocaine or Weed. More "militant" Straight-Edge followers also won't consume Caffeine or prescription drugs, follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, and won't engage in promiscuous sex.

X is a symbol of Straight Edge, which a movement based on abstaining from alcohol, drugs, smoking, and promiscuous sex.Some members of emo bands and fans of emo music may also be straight edge, but the straight edge movement is based in hardcore punk.Many venues and clubs write an X on the hands of people who are under-age to denote that they cannot be served alcohol. As a result, straight edge people would draw X's on their own hands to announce their choice not to drink or do drugs. Straight edge is considered to be a life-long choice, and many commemorate that commitment by getting straight edge tattoos, often an X somewhere on their body.
