Berries That Burn
Swimming Underground is Mary Woronov's autobiography that focuses for the most part on her time in Andy Warhol's inner circle. It's 70s Mod stuff, so kind of a precuror to the "Neon Underground" you're talking about which is more of an 80s thing. The earlier part of the book includes meeting Nico and the Velvet Underground which is probably what jogged my memory due to the thread title.

One particular scene that sticks in my mind is when she is locked up an apartment with the other Mole People, making beaded necklaces and doing drugs and all that. For days. The uncomfortable feeling of sitting at Warhol's table at The Factory, fear of being tossed out into the daylight land of normality that is no longer familiar, etc. If you like Pulp Fiction and Trainspotting it might be for you. Hope this fits the scope of the thread!
