As far as music, anything that goes along with true non-conformity and freedom (thinking of RATM, etc) or anything popular amongst said circles would qualify - it's not a specific "genre" of music, but more of a quality that a music CAN have. Like a metadata tag on an MP3. Just because a song can be played in a main-room house setting does not disqualify it from being a true underground song. Same with the people - hitting up the main room of a big club doesn't get your "underground membership card" revoked. (I think this is the other thing that hipsters missed the point on...)
