I'm 23 so that statement about being in my later teens doesn't apply to me.

It frustrates me how people like to be spoon fed rather than getting of their ass and searching for stuff.

Everyone has opinions but instead of answering the questions I set to start with, many people (as per usual on here) start having pops at everyone and their view points. This is a musical discussion forum, not a lets berate people forum.

then you are very immature - why the fuck do you care what music other people listen to?

I'd just like to say about this thread

Yawn...

Just so this thread isn't completely useless here is a video of a young Henry Rollins letting rip on a naive 'fan'

Go to local band nights or look out for "The Next Big Thing" and go to a watch a few unsigned bands or bands on small independant labels?

Does anyone have an unsigned band in their top favourite bands list?

if by "underground" you mean this really really bad synth metal/"SCREAMO!"/"emo"/"rave" movement which has taken place, then no, 98% of those bands are completely shite.

What a weird way to think about music.

I don't care what other people listen to. They can listen to Kylie or Johnny Cash for all I care.

I was asking whether people take an interest in the underground scene in general. Your band is part of that scene. Clearly people take an interest or you would play infront of a total of 0 people every gig you play.

I personally like watching the small bands and see where they go. How far they get to. Whether they succeed or fail in the industry. I was just wondering if others do the same?

Jesus, no need to bite my head off and have a personal attack at me!

That is fucking brilliant.

And as far as good "underground" music goes, Black Flag rule.

No I don't. I mean any band who are unsigned or signed to indie labels. Any band who are not featuring in NME/Kerrang etc every other week.
