Underground music is just music that is not mainstream. Gabba IS underground music in the true sense of the word, we will NEVER hear true Gabba on Top Of The Pops and it will always be underground. Hardstep is also pretty much underground and even Happy Hardcore is still underground coz it's just too fast to go mainstream in this country, at least not proper happy hardcore. take it easy _________________ ______ ___________ ___ | / \| \| \ | | | |__ __| | | | |_| | | | | | | |\_ _/ | | | | | | | | |___| \______/|______/|______/ |___|
