Underground urban music goes far beyond the "back packer" movement. Extending across music, fashion, sports, publishing, film, and television, the underground urban music culture dominates today's global youth market by establishing trends followed by millions in the mainstream.

The underground urban music market is neither ethnic nor geographic; it is a mindset. It is a consumer group with more than $200 billion in disposable income and the power to influence mainstream culture both in the U.S. and abroad. Even major corporations from Viacom to the Coke Cola Company have jumped on the underground urban music lifestyle bandwagon. Presently, the underground urban music and fashion market is a $5 billion market and it is growing at a rate of 5% per year. The demographics of those that purchase underground urban music and fashion products are diverse and mainstream.
