Underground is: any type of music that isn`t mainstream. I doubt you`d ever see "underground" music on MTV or hear it on a radio station.

I know music is about quality, but the only music I like just so happens to be underground.

What about you? Do you listen to underground?

If so, which bands?

//edit:

I`ll just name the first ones that come to mind: Brown Eyed Deception, Runaway Orange, Saosin, Cauterize, Sherwood, My American Heart, and The Snake The Cross The Crown.

xo, Pauline

eh, listening to them is more nostalgic for me than anything. i was going to mention that's one of the main reasons still like them in my earlier post, but i decided against it.

i really want to go see the good life. they're coming to san francisco on the 23rd.

oooo lucky. i want to see the decemberists and/or the appleseed cast still, but its not looking good, because scott and i still cant stand each other and no one im actually friends with listens to them

yup just like the underground rock topic... who are your favorite artists? favorite albums? producers?

Esoteric with 7l, also theres Trademark 'nuff said

weird that you say that cause copywrite is one of my favorites.. never heard of trademark...

some of my favs

Copywrite
C-Rayz Walz
Crooked I
Cunninlynguistics
JUICE
Louis Logic
Masta Ace
MF Doom (KMD)
Paris
Ras Kass
RA the Rugged Man
Sage Francis

I used to listen to Swisha House when they were underground but not anymore.


EDIT
That Bragging about cars kind of got old and made me sick.

Comin through Im slammin doors
ESCALADE on 24's

Steppin out in my tims
Esclade with 24 inch rims

anyone can rap about cars

the only underground rappers i know of, are the ones from the bay area. and i like them im not sure if they count for underground, independent or both. but i really like it. but imma check out the ones you posted basick.

They are still underground. Alll the artist that were under that label that have gone mainstream, like Slim Thug, are doing their records under a different label.

I think Slim Thug is doing his new one under Arista.

EDIT: My fave is Chalie Boy and his album Versatyle Mixtape

^

hmm, another underground band i used to listen to a lot was the canterbury effect. i don't really know how to put them into a genre... i guess post-hardcore?

For those of you who couldn't find Volcano, I'm Still Excited!'s "In Green": here you go... Click.

I hope you guys like it.

The "ahhhh" is sort of cheesy, but that's just another thing that makes me like this song even more.

xo, Pauline

Pauline you're a cb h0r. If you get me addicted to this I'll murder you.
BUBBLE TROUBLE TROUBLE

Underground? I've liked underground music since I was little because of my dad -- yes my dad biznatches -- and my crazy sister.

Current favs (courtesy of Pauline): JamisonParker, Days Away, Saosin, Cauterize, Never Heard Of It, The Snake The Cross The Crown, The Academy Is, & that's all I can think of right now.

The only rap I ever listen to is Hieroglyphics, and I guess they're pretty underground. They rock my socks.

Mucho love,

Alyson

P.S. OMFR!111!!one!!L33T!!

imma hafta say big l or stack bundles, but i gotta love for my asian artist
chan,flowsik,dyp

yeah, it was a good idea to make a separate topic for underground hip-hop.

i don't think he's underground in the hip-hop community, and i had never heard of him before so i don't think he's really mainstream, but andre nickitina is one of the few rappers who i kind of enjoy. of course, i could be completely wrong and he could be a giant artist in hip-hop, but i obviously don't listen to this genre much. i sound really stupid so i'll cut this post off, but "crack raider razor" by him is a good song.

Unfortunately, I don't listen to Underground hiphop; nor rock.
Hm. Maybe i'll download some songs and listen to them later.

The other thread is not limited to underground rock. Note the title. This thread is unnecessary.

well all they were talking about were rock so i decided to start one of my own... u love to try and argue with me huh

Don't flatter yourself. I don't try to argue with you. You're just stupid.

if you have nothing to add to this thread get the f**k outta here

It's relevent and helpful to the mods; get it through your head, you're not worth my time that I personally go after you. In case you haven't noticed, I help out the mods by getting ride of repetitive threads. Get your head out of your ass.

ok i want to talk about the music i like and if i talk about underground hip hop here hip hop heads are going to get turned off by the title and content cause pages 1-13 are all about rock...

Why would they be turned off by the title? Does the title not address all underground music? And who cares about the content? Do you honestly think everyone is going to come in here and read all 13 pages? And if they liked the music so much why would it matter if majority of the people were talking about rock? They would still post their opinions on underground hiphop as others have done on trance and such.

There are no genres listed in the freaking title! And don't make a new thread about it because clearly if the mods are closing/merging your topics, they don't agree with you.

Copywrite- Esoteric & 7l, with TradeMark

Another underground dude I like, Malki... these guys are great. Theres this one guy thats with Trademark but I forgot his name... =/
