Mainstream Music
 
Who Loves Mainstream music! I do! I Love hearing from well known people, all of these indi bands my friends go on about, i do not really care Lol.

Who loves the mainstream music?! LMAO. Um practically the entire population that's what makes it mainstream. It's not a genre or anything.

Axiom 18-03-2009 08:52 PM

Hmmm...I prefer underground beats tbh...even though my 2 fave acts (Pendulum & The Prodigy) have been becoming more mainstream recently.

LemonJam 18-03-2009 08:53 PM

I'm hating most the synth-pop based stuff recently =\ been looking back at music from late 90's and early 00's lately haha.

Lewis. 18-03-2009 08:54 PM

I mean like, who cannot stand, Not main stream music XP

Twilight 18-03-2009 08:58 PM

I don't know what is it is it like the songs that are played a lot or something

Fom 18-03-2009 09:00 PM

I just listen to anything that looks good, I get annoyed when people start going on about how they have all these undiscovered bands, to be fair I couldn't care less if its a good song, I will listen to it.

Lewis. 18-03-2009 09:01 PM

Music from Popular Artists. Ldy Gaga, Rihanna, Leona etc.

Yet another nonsensical quote. Non mainstream music is not a genre therefore if you like mainstream music then you are sure to like music that is not mainstream. Mainstream music after all is just artists who have yet to make it/didn't make it.

I think what you REALLY mean here is who here likes R'n'B/Pop/Dance as opposed to Indie/Emo/Electro/Jazz/Blues/Metal/Grunge/Grime/Bass/ect.

Example of Mainstream:



Underground:



The difference is that nearly all mainstream acts are either cheesy or camp - whereas underground and dirtier beats are more like the aforementioned Hold Your Colour.

Pendulum is mainstream, you are getting mainstream and 'pop' mixed up.

Shaun 18-03-2009 09:08 PM

I don't mind most of what's mainstream, but I think people should expand their minds a bit. You don't have to look at what's current and on the radio at the moment, why not explore old music?

The example of Pendulum I gave is not as mainstream as their recent album has become.

Yes very much so. In fact I would say Rihanna is the epitemy of mainstream atm.

GhettoSuperstar 18-03-2009 09:16 PM

U2, Kings Of Leon (now) and Coldplay are very mainstream.

well,to be perfectly honest indie is much more mainstream then R&B nowadays.

Princess 18-03-2009 11:15 PM

People shouldn't like music because it's mainstream or because it isn't. They just like the music because it's good.

Sure,I adore one of the most mainstream bands there is but not because they're mainstream.I'm proud when they break records and get number 1's but if their music was crap it wouldn't make a difference.

*wonders if that made any sense*

Yes I agree, i was just speaking on what i thought Lewis would see as mainstream.

Mrluvaluva 19-03-2009 05:37 PM

It doesn't matter what genre a song is. If I like it, I like it. I have an eclectic music taste.
