Just looked into this thread so not sure if anybody has mentioned the groups that were part of the Dischord label.
Fugazi/Minor threat of course were some of the more popular bands on the label,
but Nation of Ulysses, Circus Lupus and Lungfish were also some really good bands from the DC area. Anybody heard of these bands?

Keith Morris'( black flag, circle jerks) new band Off! Just announced a show in Denver this october. Pretty excited about that. This will be my second punk show this year, which is two more than I've been in atleast 5 years. It's weird to be 28 and the "old guy" at a show

The last few shows I was at I was NOT the old one even at 53, but I have been going to a lot of reunion shows from the 70's scene.

Lungfish was stellar. I missed their show at the International Pop Underground Convention in Olympia, but later saw them play at some weird video game parlor in Puyallup, inside a chicken wire cage for a crowd of about 20. It didn't seem to diminish the band's vigor.

I've read this entire thread, and there's not one mention of Propagandhi. And you guys get accused of being 'liberal'! Saw them live for the first time in May this year, brilliant show, great guys, total dirtbag touring style. And they stand for something. Though some of this audience may be offended by themes (mis)interpreted as "anti-American". Eg, the song 'A Speculative Fiction' -
"A new iron curtain drawn across the 49th parallel;
Cut all diplomatic ties as we expel;
all American dignitaries, and issue a nation-wide;
travel advisory for any others left inside.
Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide.
The burned out shells of south-bound traffic lay;
strewn across a cold stretch of would-be interstate.
Still visible below their charred remains: Pax Americana plates.
Your stupid f*#king laser-pucks were just the start!
And while you may stand six full cubits and a span;
A shepard's sling and five stones in our hand;
The battle of 1812 lives in our heart.
We don't care if we're destroyed.
We'll never capitulate.
We'll take the whole f*#king world down;
Down with us in flames.
Just a speculative fiction.
No cause for alarm.
We got a good 15 years left;
‘till the ‘United We Stand’;
murals on West Broadway finally fade;
and we wave good-bye to such sad, childish refrains.
Replaced with other stupid lullabies;
like "you can have my guns when you pry;
them from my;
cold dead hands".
Just a speculative fiction.
No cause for alarm."
