Stupid Undergrounds 

Zone 

Apocalyptic cults and youth gangs, colleges and phalansteries, 
espionage networks trading in vaporous facts and networks of 
home shoppers for illicit goods; monastic, penological, 
mutant-biomorphic, and anarcho-terrorist cells; renegade 
churches, garage bands, dwarf communities, norisk survivalist 
enclaves, unfunded quasiscientific research units, paranoid 
think tanks, unregistered political parties, subemployed 
workers' councils, endo-exile colonies, glossolaliac fan clubs, 
acned anorexic primal hordes; zombie revenants, neo-fakirs, 
defrocked priests and detoxing prophets, psychedelic snake-oil 
shills, masseurs of overdiagnosed symptoms, bitter excommunicants, 
faceless narcissists, ideological drag queens, mystical technophiles,
 subentrepreneurial dealers, derivative derivistes, tireless archivists 
of phantom conspiracies, alien abductees, dupe factota, tardy primitives,
 vermin of abandoned factories, hermits, cranks, opportunists, users
, connections, outriders, outpatients, wanna-bes, wanna-not-bes, 
hackers, thieves, squatters, parasites, saboteurs; wings, wards, 
warehouses, arcades, hells, hives, dens, burrows, lofts, flocks, 
swarms, viruses, tribes, movements, groupuscules, cenacles, isms, 
and the endlessly multiplied hybridization of variant combinations of 
all these, 

and more.
