MDC is a Hardcore punk act. Their sound grew out of Black Flag, D.O.A. and The Dicks. Those roots explain a lot about how MDC arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Reagan Youth, Circle Jerks, Gang Green, The Teen Idles and Minor Threat, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Raw Power, Buzz Osborne, Murphy's Law and Green Day, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
