OHH ouch! the "E" word!
Well, really what I was actually implying was that FUGAZI basically were the first big 'anti-rockstars.' They kept their powerful music accessible: Shows were all 5 bucks, records were/are still 10bucks, they started their own label, they only played all-ages venues....
and their music was a major bridge of maturity from the hardcore scene of the 80's. The took the energy of punk and wrapped it in social and political veils.
