I've been exploring and massively enjoying Fugazi's later albums recently. If more current rock was like this I'd be genuinely interested. Given how many supposedly 'punk' or Gang of Four influenced groups there are around who are just piss poor, I'm surprised Fugazi weren't bigger. But sadly they're on 'indefinite hiatus' these days, so that leaves no rock bands for me to like. Actually, I might explore other current acts on the Dischord label.
if you are going to check discord stuff - check Nation of Ulysses, fantastic, good music with better concepts. the band makeup who followed them were arguably better too,quite naturally by taking in elements of foreign pop etc into their punk music.
Fugazi and that all grew thru and out of hardcore, its not like they were coopting anything really they were genuinley fairly revolutionary at least in the eyes of the hardcore youth.
Nation of Ulysses and their 'ideals' even more so. Like dressing well, being polite and having good grammar.
