I really enjoyed the way they followed along chronologically and the ripple effects each band had on the local scene...and eventually the national scene. Like you said so many great bands that essentially descended from that tree. It really makes you think about how important a music scene was back in those days...record/tape stores, venues etc...that was all it was back then and flyers/posters lol. It was the early 90's for me (and I was underage) but even the little scene in Columbia was everything. Rocafellas, papa jazz, manifest, senseless beauty

Absolutely!  I loved the fact that it was these smart suburban white teenagers who started their own thing out of nothing but pure love for what they were doing and how it made them and their friends feel that then went on to influence everything from hardcore to  'early emo'...I know people hate that term but for a time there were some absolutely terrific bands and music happening. You can almost track the move from  bands like Minor Threat and Faith to Embrace, Rites of Spring and Fugazi to bands like Jawbreaker, Texas is the Reason, Knapsack to Sunny Day Real Estate and Brand New a little later, etc...of course like anything else that turned to complete shit but even that was still influenced by those handful of DC hardcore bands...even if they were fucking it up by then...to even aspects of the 'Grunge' era...another dumb term but you get what I'm talking about...that was mixed with hard rock/metal but still Incorporated that DIY punk ethos and personal examination and the very real emotion of that early hardcore...Nirvana, Mudhoney, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, etc. It uniquely evolved from sheer anger and violence to the personal and very real sharing of what it was to be a smart and sensitive...in a good way...young person...while still rocking out...with their friends first and then the world later on.

It's hard to overstate the very real influence Ian MacKaye and Discord records had on so many other bands and sub-genres and record labels and music scenes over the years.
