The Misfits are covered well in the book, in fact they get their own section, as do Dead Kennedys.
That sounds pretty good to me. I like encyclopedic facts. Anyway, a cohesive story that attempts to connect all American Hardcore would be pretty forced.

I haven't seen the movie, but just in case they didn't explain why Moby is interviewed, in the book they briefly mention Vatican Commandos 7" EP Pregnant Nun, on which Moby played guitar.
In the film there is quite a bit of Moby-bashing for his description of himself as a member of Flipper.
