Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle: Fugazi built its career against industry pressure, refusing major-label deals, inflated ticket prices, and normal rock-star economics even when those choices meant leaving enormous money behind.
2. Studio Lore: The soundtrack pulls together demos, rehearsals, alternate takes, live fragments, and instrumental pieces created around Jem Cohen's documentary Instrument, making it feel more like a window into the band's workshop than a standard album.
3. Scene Ecology: Fugazi's Dischord world connected hardcore ethics, experimental guitar music, all-ages shows, and independent distribution, helping define what a self-sustaining underground band could look like.
