As a rule of thumb most people really like to take credit for the accomplishments they've made in their life. If someone is responsible for starting an internet trend, they generally like to wipe it in people's faces. They like to show how smart they were, before everyone else was. This trait has a tendency to show in a lot of music fans. Lots of people like to claim that they were the first people to hear about a currently popular band. Lots of people like to claim they were part of a now popular scene when it was only in its humble beginnings. Lots of people like to brag about how cool they are. This is why Ian MacKaye must be one of the most perplexing people I've ever heard about. He single handedly invented a culture, he helped greatly develop the sound of a musical genre, helped develop one of the most respectable record labels in any music genre, and finally every band he´s been in has been regarded as original and essential. After Teen Idles MacKaye's high school band broke up, his legacy began. Forming Minor Threat must've not seemed like much back in 1980 but now it is impossible to not see their influence on hardcore music, and even the music scene as a whole. Fiercely independent, extremely original, and unwilling not to speak their mind Minor Threat helped create the stereotype of a hardcore band. Sticking to his word unlike many of the bands before and after him, once Minor Threat started to become scene "legends", MacKaye broke up the band. Not wanting the constant praise as he acts as if he is just another member of the scene. After their demise all of Minor Threat's songs were collected onto a Discography so that new fans could easily become familiar with the band.
