underground music

Underground music is music which has developed a cult following, independent of commercial success. This music generally speaking has little or no mainstream appeal, visibility or commercial presence. The term is also currently used to describe contemporary music of non-mainstream musical exponents with actual specific genre or style being unimportant in determining the "underground" status.

The term underground music has been applied to several artistic movements, such as the psychedelic music movement of the mid 1960s, punk rock and hardcore, hip hop, alternative rock, various forms of heavy metal including black metal and death metal, electronica, outsider music, and experimental music, plus many more.
