Abstract

Underground music and its cognate, do-it-yourself music have faced a remarkable shift due to the development of information technology in the twenty-first century. This chapter focuses on the shift the emergence of online media has caused in underground music scenes. While the underground has been connected online, it has become more widely accessible for anyone, sparking the question whether it exists any more in the 2010s, where and in what form. The chapter aims to answer these questions by examining the discourse on social media, music platforms, and websites on three Finnish artists: Litku Klemetti, Jukka Nousiainen, and Henrik!.
