I see your analogy, but even the underground/purists must progress in order to stay contemporary. In terms of hip hop, if Kurtis Blow tried playing a show in present day, he would be laughed off stage.

As for USBM vs. european bm, there are a good deal of decent bands. I wouldn't say it's 99%, but it usually does suck more than a given bm band from across the pond. You can blame that on the internet as being the primary source of inspiration for nowadays bands, or blame something else. It doesn't really matter because bands that suck will either die out or get lumped into pay-to-play shows and die a slower painful death. Good music can reach more ears than ever, given our current electronic social mechanisms. The effect is good and bad, but the fact is that it perpetuates in people's mindshares more than if it never reached their ears in the first place, which is what keeps the underground alive in the first place, right? I stand by file sharing 100%.
