underground is like deeper beats, lyrics and soul to a song - commercial is like what get's played on the radio and is marketed to the masses - Britney's mainstream, Eminem is mainstream - even though anyone can make underground music they don't coz it doesn't sell like commercial stuff - underground IS deeper, more hardcore, more controversial, or whatever...
sup the chenist - dust c.d is underground.. you'll know the difference if you know your music...
NB: It isn't underground because it hasn't hit mainstream yet - it's whole design is different to mass appeal.

Get the underground mug.A Democratic party supporter's website that is a gathering place for politics obsessed misanthropes who seethe with impotent rage at their complete lack of power and control over the American people. The poster's at Democratic Underground all seem to be bourgeois lefty political groper's in various stages of mental illness. Paranoia reigns supreme there, as does self-loathing, hatred of people in general, a strident belief in complex conspiracies which dominate and thwart them at every turn, and a desperate need to believe that all of their problems in life are somebody else's fault.
"I can't function in life because Chimpy McFlightsuit, Darth Cheney, KKKarl Rove, Halliburton, Bectel, the KBR death camps, Diebold, Blackwater, LIHOP, MIHOP, chem-trails, Fitzmas, Scooter Libby, and the Pentagon's hurricane and earthquake machine ruined my life... so I might as well hang out here at Democratic Underground."

Get the underground mug.An underground, subsurface and overground series of railway lines which have been in existence since the 19th century. Its a common myth that the London Underground's purpose is to link different areas of London together. It's true purpose is to form a massive competition area for the contest 'Worlds most rudest person, EVER'. The competition, first devised by Victorian engineers to seek new highs in global twatbaggery, also seeks to answer the age old question - how many tired people can you fit in a small space at 7am in the morning before the onset of mental breakdown resulting in mass murder. The engineers including Isambard Kingdom Brunel theorised that one day the population of the earth would exceed the amount of available landmass, and therefore a plan of effective space travel would be needed to begin a new colonisation on a distant planet, such as Slough, Reading or Basingstoke and how many buses or train carriages the mass exodus would require so a horrendously overpriced and ridiculously complex ticketing system could be devised.
I love getting on the London Underground, further generations will thank me for being driven closer to poverty by a smelly run down railway network lacking investment.

Get the Underground mug.1) Great band.
2) Contrary to popular belief (as helped by Brian from Family Guy), the term "velvet underground" does not necessarily mean "vagina." In fact, it may come to a shock to most people that it is slang for the subculture of sadomasochism. That's right, the whole time you've been listening to the band you've actually been subconsciously supporting an underground S&M club.

Lou: Dude, are you into Velvet Underground?
Reed: Dude, since when have you been a sadomasochist? *Pushes Lou away, not wanting to get involved with whips and chains*
