"Now surf music, that's underground, the bands press 500 to 1000 cd's them selves and it takes them 5 years to sell..." -bigtikidude-

Yuh call that underground? HA! It's a completely unknown fact and even documented in the Dumbass Book of World Records and Ham Recipes that the most underground music is oomph music. Oomph is an experimental type of Polka where the bands try to express the whole majesty and wonder of a Polka tune in one single note...The oomph. Oomph not only requires that yuh have solid gone Polka chops to pull it off but yuh also need to spend hours, even days contemplatin' a single Polka tune. Why's it so underground? Because no one likes listenin' to oomph...Yuh can't dance to it and it's kinda borin'. Even the oomph bands themselves don't really like oomph muisc, but they know that it's important and meaningful art. So they toil away in underground obscurity, givin' up the tens, even hundreds of dollars they could be makin' playin' Polka.
