Everyone knows this word. At least they think they do. People use it to refer to music scenes, the darknet, crime, networks of covert people, and much more. There are many levels of the underground and most people on this planet earth will never even be aware of the true deep underworld.
There are a select few of people who are the real knowledge holders in this world. These are people outside the box. For example, do you really believe that http websites, google, and P2P are all there is to the internet? There is, in fact, an invisible internet that is not accessible by conventional means – and even that is not the deep down.
To be underground simply means that you’re down
for the struggle, get ‘em up, that’s UNDERGROUND
You could be a classy lady or a whore
But if you protest the war, for sure, you UNDERGROUND
If the government can’t see you, or deceive you
You love your people, believe you UNDERGROUND
If you refuse to play the game, you go against the grain
You ridin the train, you UNDERGROUND – get it!
The quarrel between mainstream music and underground music is completely ridiculous. Granted, mainstream music can be commercialized – but there are some gems … and many so called “underground” artists suck. Good music is just plainly good music. End of story. So… underground is something else then. Underground is unknown. Why is certain music well known? Because large record companies can easily advertise and hype up their artists. So the underground is really just the music that doesn’t get that type of exposure. Or is it? Many DJs don’t like sharing their music openly because they need to keep their own style, something that separates them from the rest. So there is an underground circle. They get their music through certain sources that they like to keep hidden. Perhaps it is about being an “insider,” being part of something, or maybe it is just about staying competitive. There are artists that release music under many different aliases and labels. It is not hard to imagine that these true musical geniuses make so much music, they probably keep much of it in private circles, the public only gets the best fruits of their work. Today it does not cost much money to run a private recording environment, the need for large record companies is over.
Don’t be fooled, most major governments are probably not what they seem. Yes, you hear about the presented debates and issues, but do you hear about the real good stuff? What is the CIA for? It stands for Central Intelligence Agency. In other words their purpose is to deal with the underworld we like to call Intelligence. Information. Everything starts with information. Wars, politics, civilization… everything. How did civilization evolve? Information. People started to learn how to farm, build shelter, etc. They passed down this knowledge using information. Today there is so much information in the world, everything is based on information. The more information there is, the faster more information is generated.
Many many years ago humans started passing on information on how to encrypt information using ciphers and symbols. Now it was easy to pass on information while keeping it occult. Today cryptography has gone very far. So what we end up with here is an underground community of insiders on information. There are many reasons for keeping information secret from embarrassment to the danger of powerful knowledge getting into the wrong hands to politics/power to avoiding oppression. It is obvious that all major organizations would take part in this underworld. Governments need to keep things secret, insurgencies need to keep things secret, stock traders need to keep things secret, corporations need to keep things secret, criminals need to keep things secret, everyone needs to keep information secret to have an edge. After all, we are all part of the human race. Now we start to get a larger and more detailed picture of the underground.
Some people like to call the collective of this a conspiracy theory. Perhaps. In reality though these are many different separate “conspiracies” competing. In theory all groups of people with a purpose are a conspiracy. You could call any government a “conspiracy” to govern or any corporation a “conspiracy” to push products. There have certainly also been some very malicious conspiracies throughout history, and some very friendly. It is clear now that all humans part-taking in the human race are conspirators and are somehow trying to better their own condition in the world relative to others or just plainly for the thrill. To see the underground one must have a level of understanding for this. So in the underground we really have people competing with each other as well as collaborating. It is more like different underground “scenes” competing with each other.
Of course you shouldn’t really listen to anything I say, what do I know? Information can easily be pulled out of thin air 
– it costs nothing.
