    i like music, regardless.
    now or then, if its authentic it wins.
    mainstream or underground.

    knowing where music has come from isnt necessarily a precursor to having good taste in music.

    however the notion that the underground movement, in any genre has died, clearly speaks to the lack of exposure the person saying it has to actual underground culture.

    its not an us and them thing.. its appreciating and understanding, regardless of genre, regardless of era and regardless what its called, good music can be found in abundance in nearly every city..

    clique'a, genre hating and segmentation of music appreciation limits the viewpoint of the person putting forward these ideals, and ultimately leads to a less experienced interaction with music as a whole.

    • I'll more precisely say that the nature of the overground to the underground is radically different than it was 20 yrs ago.mikotondria3
    • There is no sharp cutoff anymore. There skrillibix at one end and people in small groups making music in bedrooms at the other, putting it on the web.mikotondria3
    • the other. The distance between them is a click, a call, an email. 10 minutes from one end to the other.mikotondria3
    • What also has changed is the apolitical nature of it all. Underground music now is literally as subversive asmikotondria3

    • clearly you have no understanding or relation to current underground movements.autoflavour
