It also influenced the international music scene, inspiring artists, and creating a huge world-wide fan base. The music was inspired by punk rock, but had more edgy riffs coupled with emotive, sometimes heavy lyrics. This type of music reached out to and addressed an oppressed and often abused audience.

But worse than seeing a new building like this one being built in one’s community, is seeing an already imposing building expanding into one’s neighborhood.
