What is mainstream to you?

[Teh Grimace]

goddamit the greys.

stop saying shit that i agree with.

What is normal or mainstream changes slightly every 500kms you travel, the meaning of the term does not change however. If you are more specific with the question, then obviously the answer will change. What is mainstream to the general public will be a lot different to what is mainstream within the metal community or any other. I personally think it is more than just knowing a bands name, for a band to be mainstream for me there must also be some sort of appreciation or knowledge of what that band is doing, regardless of liking what is being done.

The very instant someone outside of the band starts listening to a band's music, that band has become mainstream.

its a relative term

No, it isn't. When a band is on the radio and on TV they are mainstream. Simple, clearcut term with a simple, clearcut definition.

There is a middle gorund between kvlt and mainstream.
You gouys amaze me sometimes.
But I'm sure I amaze you nearly all the time, so it's fair, I guess.

You amaze me for your lack of ability to understand sarcasm. But you are way cooler now than when you first came here

[Ender Rises]

Top 100

[Ender Rises]

Top 40 in metal is a little much. Do you mean the main chart or the rock(or metal or whatever they have)chart?
