That's not really unique to metal. There are no undergrounds anymore, except maybe in Frank Zappa's sense. I don't really miss them. There was some pride in how obscure metal and most electronic music used to be, because as he says you were one of a few, but it was pretty lonely unless you happened to live in the right city. It doesn't lessen my enjoyment of the things I like that others like them too, and it's fun to meet fellow travelers.
