I mean yes and no right? I think the nature of how open the internet is and how easily you can find any information you expend the effort to kind of lends itself towards the loss of this type of 'underground' culture. For example I spend a lot of time in the LA rave scene. A lot of people here who have been here for a long time will talk about how the 'old underground' for raves was really where it's at. But honestly that culture never really 'died' in-so-much as it was changed and altered by the newcomers to the space some of whom might have never found said culture without the proliferation of it through the internet. There will always be small niche communities for all sorts of media, but it'll never be 'underground' again in the same way this article presents.
