A 60's/70's band fronted by the extremely talented and legendary lou reed and backed by otherwise mediocre musicians and entertainers. Many claim to have been tormented as children because of their listening to the band, and thus use the experience as the driving force behind the whole "you guys just dont get me" persona.
"Hey man, Im just going to go read some Catcher in the Rye while touching myself and then maybe put on the velvet underground album and drown myself in a puddle of my perpetual sorrow."

Related to New York speak: going onto the subway and so losing wireless connection. Usually means that the person will be unavailable for a while (even up to an hour and a half).
text message reads: "going underground"...Note: Don't give up on your friend for several days, just for a few hours until they gain a wireless connection again.

A phrase used often by criminologists to describe when an individual cuts all public and semi-public interactions that can be traceable, such as credit card transactions, using a cell phone, emails, etc. The phrase comes from large metropolitan areas like New York City, where people would often be unreachable while underground on the subway. This phrase is synonymous with "going dark".
