Underground

A movement or a group of people related to music, who do it not for the money, the notoriety or the fame, but for the love. They don’t promote, because they don’t crave popularity. They also don’t need to tell everyone about how underground they are because they aren’t really interested in labelling their own movement, they just do it, and if people enjoy it, great.

You ain't underground, you have a Facebook page advertsing your event fella....
