video on people who mainly listen to 'soft' genres could be interesting? opposite of the schitzo stimfest stuff. Easy listening has an intersting history in the US as a way to almost sedate the black population, whilst also defining a kind of counter cukture, very neurodivergent queer kids who like cavetown/adjacent stufff nowadays could be an echo of that. hippies and that whole wave, but also serene heroine inspired rock, lean inspired hyperpop and rap. idk !!!!! love your channel man.

I don't care if the music I am listening to is authentic underground or not. I mean something like Underground Hip Hop and Underground Rock are completely different. Do punk rock bands like Dropkick Murphys and Rancid have beef feuds complete with Diss Tracks? And besides some of the same stuff applies to Underground Film Culture. That's where I would feel personally attacked at. lol

I am underground because no one likes my music art or writing…. its brilliant my audience hasn't been born yet and being dead by that time saves on having to explain what it means… now thats underground….

Great vid, but surprised you didn't mention the underground rave scenes in the 80s and 90s, especially in the UK. Truly underground in every sense of the word, illegal raves in grimy warehouses, and one of the only instances I can think of where the government actively took an attempt to stamp it out of culture.

Indie and Underground never really meant anything, but that was fine until they were supposed to. Underground meant something when Media was a 1 way funnel and it was literally the case that if you werent a signed artist your music could BARELY be heard due to lack of distribution. This is like 1950s-80s. It means stuff that literally isnt being platformed, not stuff thats platformed but transgressive or low popularity.
For example, a 1970s could be underground because they literally arent played on radio or TV, and dont have their music sold in ANY store. You cant go download that music, you have to be in their peer network to some degree. This requires you to then participate in the underground to have access to that media, hence why its the underground and not the overground where accessible distributed media exists.

I thought " Underground " meant a Indie professional who evaded litigious reactionaries through their rebellious niche .

All of this was started by the CIA back in the 60s. They have always been creating agitator groups. today, It’s antifa and Isis, yesterday, It was the hippies and the Black Panthers. None of this is organic.

Being a basic wannabe Kurt Cobain did cause me to pick up the guitar like 18 years ago. Now I'm into (primarily digital rave stuff, tekno, hardtrance, acid psytrance, etc) music production I can also incorporate guitar rec's because of it (tho rec yourself be very confronting. But also super useful as you hear exactly how you F up and what to address, but I digress). So, thanks Kurt! Also for your music. Still revisit now and then. Bleach in particular, as I like that raw, unpolished sound (despite no Dave Grohl on drums. But that's cheating. All albums with Dave Grohl on drums are GOAT).

Rap, Southern Hiphop especially has a lot in common with Black Metal as far as how it started, the difference was despite DJ Paul and Lord Infamous being underground on day one they struck a gold mine with their style (and other activities making them money. . .) and popped off financially pretty fast, same to be said about other big names like Lil Jon and Outkast. They still put out good stuff but it's been a while since they've done anything as raw as the first three albums.

In the West and European countries if something was underground you where boozing, dressing how you wheren't supposed to, or doing some gay shit depending on the historical timeframe. It's people who are told they don't belong and need to hide deciding to take their capitalism out of the capitalist system. If you find out about a singer songwriter on Youtube shorts today and go to buy a ticket, it's 85$. This time around, underground will be poor people I hope. They need a movement and have been priced out of entertainment, both as performers and as fans.

It's ok to not be underground. So don't act elitist when someone says it to you. Especially since you got the streams & stadium tours to remind you of that.

The Sex Pistols weren't as DIY as Fugazi when you remember that Vivienne made all their clothes and all. Worst part for me was when I found out through an interview that Malcom McLaren got the "Sex Pistol's look" out of Richard Hell, a former member of Television and infamous NYC early-punk rocker. Dude was always pulling up on stage with crazy hair, self-modified clothing and a lot of spunk. He saw him, took all of that and infused it into the Pistols. So much so that he even admitted that "Pretty Vacant" was a copy of Hell's "Blank Generation".

Is there nothing more underground than to exist in the corporate mainstream? Claiming to be a part of the underground is inherently opposed to the idea of being underground.

Calling the hippies cringe is everything wrong with current culture. The reason you cant fathom the current underground is because your generation is the most conservative in the past 60 years. The current "ALT" person is busy making reels about red flags in a significant other.
