In the late 80s , along with the breakup of Hüsker Dü , the punk scene in Minneapolis moved underground . During a Black Flag show in 1985 , stage diving was banned at First Avenue . The skank dancing , stage diving , skate punk crew that drove the mid-80s positive punk scene evolved into rap and metal . The UK punks faded away and new bands emerged . ( Incidentally , the Mpls Goth and Darksider scene never died , feeding off of the strong Scandinavian roots of the Midwest and connected to the evolving Early Norwegian black metal scene . ) As the punk scene moved deeper underground , a homegrown midwest rock ethic coalesced into what would become known as alt-country . Minneapolis became a leading alt-country scene led by the Jayhawks , with supporting musicians out of the old post-punk scene playing for Uncle Tupelo , Son Volt , etc . In fact , Wilco played their first shows at 7th Street entry
