Emotional and creative lyrics/songs are not pretentious, I'm not trying to say that. Preachy is definitely a better description, I'd still say a little self riotous, but really that should be leveled more at Ian MacKaye. I guess really I just hate straight edge and everything associated with it, in my opinion it's a really fascist philosophy, and maybe lumping Fugazi in with that is irrational but it's just the way I feel. Or maybe I just enjoy being a dick on the internet a little too much. Well, warchild, you make some good and well stated points.

I just can't stand the puritanical attitude as espoused by some of their fans, such as Coalition up there. I can understand there's a controversy over whether "grunge" was a genre self identified by the bands or a label created by the industry but I don't think that invalidates every band that was labelled with that moniker, that every band except Fugazi are composed of "grudging young millionaires, Forcing silence sucking sound". Come on, you don't find those lyrics pretentious just a little? @Bob Vila

I think that was in "Our Band Could Be Your Life," but I'll fact-check that just to make sure Thurston doesn't come on here and tell me that my "scene" is wrecking his.

By working hard and releasing everything themselves, they earned the right to say what they wanted to say, and do things they way they wanted to. I find them to be passionate as opposed to pretentious. Also: They rock! @sick Fugazi did things on their own terms.
