Hardcore punkRap

Hüsker Dü is a Hardcore punk and Rap act. Their sound grew out of Mission of Burma, Joy Division, The Smashing Pumpkins, Ramones and Talking Heads. Those roots explain a lot about how Hüsker Dü arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Minutemen, Firehose, Wire, Fugazi and Dag Nasty, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Pixies, Foo Fighters, Goo Goo Dolls, No Joy and Siege, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 68 connections around Hüsker Dü, reaching back through Mission of Burma and forward to Pixies.
