In many cases thats not true.
Amateur allso means beginner.
I have been creating music for 10 years and I have 21 albums,
but music is not my profession. I don't make any money from it.
Does that make my music "Amatuer Music"?

Yes.
Because "amateur" is an opposite to "professional", as Fop pointed out. Similarly, "amateur sports player" means one who is not participating in a professional league. It doesn't say anything about quality, he can be Olympic champion all the same. It just so happens that this word bears also a couple of other meanings.
Incidentally, you accept your game being underground, but this forum subsection used to be called simply "AG Underground", and the "Amateur" part was added because some were complaining
that sounded too negative (like, I don't know, illegal or with a disturbing subject matter).
