Fugazi was formed a few years after Minor Threat's break up in 1987. The band was centered around Ian MacKaye, and Rites of Spring singer Guy Picciotto. The band was known for only playing shows they promoted themselves, as well as keeping ticket prices under $5, not to mention keeping shows all ages as well.
The band's sound was still considered hardcore, but coming out of the second wave from D.C. an with slower tempos, the bands genre was considered Post-Hardcore.
Highly influncal for what would become modern hardcore in late 90's/what would become nearly mainstream in the mid 2000's
Not to mention that the band influenced Kurt Cobain with him even writing a misspelling of Fugazi on his shoes before a photo shoot.
