Not sure if I'm extrapolating too much from a few examples, but I get the impression that some '90s U.S. music scenes were Extremely Online before it was common for the average person to be. Like naming your punk record after a Usenet newsgroup levels of online (https://www.discogs.com/master/190314-7-Seconds-AltMusicHardcore). Anything good written about it?

(I like xeroxed zines as much as the next guy, but I wish writing about this era would also dig into the listservs and newsgroups.)
