[PAR] [TLE] Dischord Records discography [SEP] Dischord Records is a Washington, D.C.-based independent record label specializing in the independent punk music of the D.C.-area music scene.  The company is co-owned by Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson, who founded the label in December 1980.  Before founding Dischord, both MacKaye and Nelson were members of the Teen Idles, and the label was initially meant to only foster a single release from the defunct band, the "Minor Disturbance" EP.  By the time Dischord #1 was finished, many new bands had emerged from the same music scene, and like the Teen Idles, also began releasing their records through Dischord. [PAR] [TLE] Punk rock [SEP] Punk rock (or "punk") is a rock music genre that developed in the early to mid-1970s in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia.  Rooted in 1960s garage rock and other forms of what is now known as "proto-punk" music, punk rock bands rejected perceived excesses of mainstream 1970s rock.  Punk bands typically produced short or fast-paced songs, with hard-edged melodies and singing styles, stripped-down instrumentation, and often political, anti-establishment lyrics.  Punk embraces a DIY ethic; many bands self-produce recordings and distribute them through informal channels.
