'UNDERGROUND' is not a discrete word of thought in music events

There is always a hidden intention behind
the word ‘underground’. It just feels like a 

signature of approval which is being impended 

on behalf of the music played in underground 

festivals. Generally we mean underground to 

be an illegal venue for festival, but the music played out there can be heard in other surrounding open localities. The word 'rave' which we people think as an impure, unpolished, dangerous, dirty has drowned the respect of underground events. The word ‘underground’ has nothing to do with the above words i.e. unpolished, dangerous, dirty... It's just like any other festival with the music being honoured. Let's separate this ‘underground’ musically.

(I) Some people may have a thought that being into the channel of commercialization music can't be considered as underground. There would be many artists now who must be uploading some sort of tracks into the streaming platforms to generate some royalty for himself/herself. This thing doesn't lead to opencast/underground. If the artist chooses a medium to boost this news i.e. about a new track release on spotify or promises that specific track to be played in specific festivals (notify to people by himself/herself through respective social updates) then its fall within underground. The word 'underground' supports personal commercialization not public commercialization.

(II) Some persons may also think that the time and era of underground scene no longer exists as globally now everything is accessible and there is not even a stance of underground which can be termed itself which was usual in the past. There is no doubt that people are gradually changing and so does the music industry and we often change our tastes for music. But still underground exists and people are still available for it. People give different names but the act is same. Some call it rave, others choose PLUR. From the artistic side here artists just like to stay independent and don't bother about record labels. Djs like adriatique, len faki, Moodymann have a great following despite not being active participants in mainstream scenes. People know them and they know their people and that is sufficient to go for underground. They just want to stick to their places of audience and market among them. There is no primacy to promote them knowingly.

(III) Many people in music industry and concerned fellows of dance floor believe underground to be that part of clubbing which is unseen in open eyes. It's true, detail things about mainstream acts are easier to find but to find a longtail about underground acts you have to dig deeper through your contacts. Yes internet is there, you can be informed about the location but you won't know about the actual happenings out there. Techno and house music have been playing a role of grandeur in it. These two styles of music are actually a part of the culture of underground while edm and trance represents the culture of dance music or opencast scenes. Both underground and opencast are big events inculcated by music but culture changes the definition of these two from each other.

(IV) On the other side a thought can also be considered i.e. “Whatever we define ‘underground’, its a part of electronic music, as techno and house both genres are produced mostly electronically these days.” Yes it is true but the underground was there in the world even before the electronic music and its still there and will be beyond of it. Underground is actually the deepest form of electronic music as mostly tracks played here won't be found in mainstream radios. 

Hidden to the eyes, hidden to ears of most, underground is actually a musical coast and will remain in the realm of dance music in the coming future.
