The act of connecting with the Earth through dancing barefoot to underground electronic music such as house music or techno, at an outdoor electronic music festival or gathering. These particular "roots E.D.M." genres of House and Techno use a 4/4 beat, a.k.a. "4 on the floor," the exact rhythms our ancestors produced through primitive percussion instruments created from trees and earth clay, which they used to dance barefoot upon the earth in celebration, worship, prayer and to connect with themselves, each other and Nature. Our ancestors did this for tens of thousands of years, and many indigenous communities around the world still do this today. See shamanism as well.

Derivative of the word "grounding" or "earthing" which has been trending since 2015, describing the act of standing or walking barefoot on the earth to absorb ions, connecting electrically to the earth; reducing inflammation and improving health.

*First coined/introduced by Elektrik Fantasy Festival in Miami.
I've got my Fantasy costume together and I'm ready to dance to some 4-on-the-floor house music at Elektrik Fantasy Festival, but I'm going barefoot because I'm all about the undergrounding on the sand!

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.

Does NOT have to be unknown, it can also be a rapper that was underground yet kept the style and became extremely popular and well-selling commercial material
Pharoahe Monch and Wu-tang clan have music that is not bombarded with commercial material yet sell heaps

A twenty-first century marketing buzz word used to convince teens that the over-hyped, over-produced, corporate-friendly crap they listen to on the radio station everday is actually "unique, hip, different" or that they somehow aren't part of a target market in which they all obediently buy the same crap.
Yeah, that hot new underground rapper made his debut on TRL today.
