Is underground gaming the right term?

Is "Underground Game" in your opinion the right term for a political, non-commercial gaming scene? While some don't mind the term, some seem to be skeptical about it, stating that a self definition of underground is inherent inauthentic (we had, however, the uComix or various literature and press collectives using the term "Underground") or that the association with illegal activity could be a problem; these people, however, seemingly also most often disagreed to the far left political orientation of the Underground Gaming idea, and I'm not sure if those not just aren't bourgeois doubts.

I really really am not fond of people pettifogging names. Underground is a good, serviceable, immediately recognisable name, which is in ethos and associations different from — say — libregaming.
