I know what Underground is... I used to love Jet about 3 years ago. Even then they had mainstream appeal. I have heard of the others. No more arguments

 

Dude, not to be mean here, but mainstream is like Britney Spears and Lady GaGa, you know that right?

Will, what's the third album in your siggy?

 

It's a single, While You Wait For The Others - Grizzly bear

 

 

 

Byez everyone now :kiss:

But sadly, some really great bands have crossed over to mainstream

BYE WILLYPOOPOOKINS! :kiss:

Mainstream music denotes music that is familiar and unthreatening to the masses, as for example popular music, pop music, middle of the road music, pop rap or soft rock; Mainstream jazz is generally seen as an evolution of be-bop, which was originally regarded as radical.

That would make you both right, wouldn't it?

That would be the fourth. :blank:

O shit, I can't count :shame:

 

It's Shout Out Louds - Our Ill Wills, wonderful album :wacky:

 

 

 

 

And to add to the dicussion, Radiohead is kind of mainstream.

 

Mainstream is not bad...

Alternative & Alt. Rock

Indie & Indie Rock

It really depends on what you think Mainstream is.

I do admit that Jet, CTE, and SSPU's do get played on Alternative radio quite a bit

:awesome:

Alternative Radio is amazing here.

same here,

Alternative music is basically my life almost

Alternative and Rock depends for me.

I can't listen to head bashing rock or Paramore or Skillet (sorry Shane). It's too hard.

one of the best new New Zealand songs

I never listen to the radio.

Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, or some other kind of Rap or R&B. Ew. :sick:

 

That's all you'll find on our radio. :rolleyes:

Mew is incredible mainstream...just not around here

 

Mainstream seems to have the same reputation of Twilight...you either have to be obsessed or go around saying you hate it :wtf:

I listen to the radio, we only have two alt. stations... and basically yeah, I listen to them only
