Today while discussing the Internet, one fact that was brought up was that the internet has made underground cultures mostly disappear. This shocked me when I first heard it but as I thought about it I realized how true it was. With the internet the "underground" cultures aren't truly underground. Now that anyone can get on the internet, anyone can find these cultures. Artists nowadays could only want to have a small group of fans or want to be considered underground but if they posted any of their music/art on the internet and someone big in that industry finds it and likes it, they can be a pop star in weeks!
