I simply don't understand the whole underground music thing. To me, if it was that good, it wouldn't be underground. You people are trying so hard to be eccentric, that you all end up being exactly the same.
Huh? That's the biggest line of crap I've ever heard!!!! So I guess that means that since Brittney, J'lo, Backstreet Boys, Stinkin Pork are all mainstream...does that mean that they're the best music out there? Most people are lame and will listen to anything that's put in front of them. They're too lazy to seek anything out that's not on MTV or KROCK radio..they don't realize that they have alternatives. The typical thing about a radio-pop song, is that it is simple. People remember it, they can sing along and they don't have to use their brains while listening to the song. While other "not commercial" music is a bit more difficult to get in to.
The music business is a smart organization that is interested in making money, and not in quality.
I don't like music just because it's underground...when I found Kyuss, I liked their style so much that I tried to seek other bands that were similar, which opened my mind to new types of music. Authenticity...hard working bands that play their ass off for such little money for the sake of their art...just because they love to \m/...those are attributes I also appreciate in music.
Just because you haven't heard it, doesn't mean it isn't any good
