The genesis of the band\u2019s then-inimitable approach traces back to the Motor City\u2019s industrial facilities; the urge to tear down the pretense of the hippie movement; the feeling of being an outsider amid a society reckoning with a collision of cultures; and the genuine desire to be completely original. With Pop as the only true musician in the quartet, the Stooges pursued a do-it-yourself ethic that had no precedent in their era.<\/p>\n<p>Having constructed their own instruments from the likes of oil drums, vacuum cleaners, blenders, washboards, and various scraps, the Stooges eschewed structure and embraced experimentalism, improvisation, and personality.
