No. There's not one cookie cutter type of straight edge lifestyle, although many choose to abstain from drug use and to varying degrees, recreational sex or meat consumption. It's origins are usually ascribed to the punk and hardcore scene, but there are straight edgers into techno, industrial, metal and other kinds of music. Not all straight edgers are vegetarians or vegans either. There are also straight edgers who are atheists, agnostics or theists. If you like the philosophies of the straight edge lifestyle, why not practice it in your personal life? Buddhism is a philosophy as well, and Buddhists aren't expected to like the same music/books/movies.

What is a stright edge lifestyle?
"Straight edge" is a sub-group of the hardcore scene (hardcore is what punk rock evolved into in the 1980s), who, unlike most other punk/hardcore rockers, abstain from drugs and alcohol. Most do not even smoke cigarettes, I think. The name "straight edge" came from the lyrics of a Minor Threat song: "I'm a person just like you/But I've got better things to do/Than sit around and **** my head/Hang out with the living dead/Snort white **** up my nose/Pass out at the shows/I don't even think about speed/That's something I just don't need/I've got the straight edge..." Straight edge was a reaction to the rampant drug use that has always been a part of rock 'n roll, but especially punk rock. Punk rockers tended to eschew the gentler hippie drugs -- hallucinogens like marijuana, LSD, magic mushrooms -- and instead were fond of the most dangerous drugs: speed, cocaine, and heroin. These are highly, highly addictive drugs. Using them almost always leads to misery, and often death too. Founders of the straight edge movement saw all these people killing themselves with drugs, and, like all punk/hardcore people are prone to do, took things to the opposite extreme. Instead of just, "Hey, maybe we should lay off the hard drugs and stick to beer or pot," it was, "No one should ever do any kind of drug for any reason, ever again." This sentiment resonated with a lot of people, and straight edge was born. Many of them also believe that it's wrong for people to take prescription drugs. There are even certain extremists who believe that prescription medication shouldn't be taken by people with serious mental illnesses like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

How Did Straight Edge Start?
As far as I'm aware, it was started by the lead vocalist of 80's Hardcore Punk band Minor Threat as an alternative to leading a sex, drugs and rock & roll lifestyle that comes with the fame the band achieved. It was given it's name through the band's song of the same name and remained a prominent ideal throughout the 80's Hardcore Punk scene worldwide! It still exists in the much smaller hardcore scene that exists today! However, it has also been adopted by followers of modern hardcore punk and metal derivatives such as Metalcore, Deathcore and Post-Hardcore.
