Editing Refused (section)

===After breakup (1999–2009)===
The story of Refused's last show soon became popular, as well as ''The Shape of Punk to Come''. A year after its release, the album shot up from 1,400 to 21,000 units sold in the United States. In 2000, it went up to 28,000.<ref name=popsongs/> From then on, many notable artists started to praise the band and newcomers cited them as an influence.

Lead singer [[Dennis Lyxzén]] went on to form [[The (International) Noise Conspiracy]] soon thereafter, while the other members, as well as venturing into their own projects, formed the group [[TEXT]].

In 2007 Lyxzén and Sandström briefly reformed their Refused side project, [[Final Exit (band)|Final Exit]], which existed in the mid-late 1990s and originally consisted of members of Refused and [[Abhinanda]], with each member taking a different role to that which they had in their main bands (e.g., David on vocals and Dennis on bass guitar).

As of May 2008, Dennis Lyxzén and David Sandström formed a new straightforward hardcore band under the name [[AC4 (band)|AC4]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Mokas |first1=Apostolis |title=AC4: Umeå Hardcore Punk |url=https://diyconspiracy.net/interview-with-ac4-2010/ |website=DIY Conspiracy |date=5 February 2014 |publisher=Keep It Real Fanzine |access-date=17 June 2021}}</ref>

Kristofer Steen moved to [[Orange County, California]] and attended film school there.<ref name="buddyhead"/> He made a documentary on the band's last year in existence called ''[[Refused Are Fucking Dead]]'', which was released in 2006. Then, he began working on operas in Sweden.<ref name="popsongs"/>
