They are 'alternative'

Paramore :yuk:

there is going to be much debate as to what fits into the non mainstream catergory lol..and no one but yourself will probably know of the bands you post

Are alternative/non-mainstream differernt things? Cos I know quite a lot of non-mainstream artists but I wouldn't call many of them 'alternative'

[rquote=2592657&tid=147887&author=Jayson]Paramore :yuk:[/rquote]

Just a tad irrelevant

I said it could be Alternative or non mainstream.

And yes i would call them alternative

Paramore are NOT alternative.
They are mainstream.
Sorry to burst your bubble.

The likes of Bjork, Bat for Lashes (although they are making their way to the mainstream, their music is still alterntive), Tori Amos, Janelle Monae, Thunderheist, Basia Bulat, and Fleet Foxes are alternative.

Massive Fail!

Yeah they are different, alternative is something that doesn't really fit in any musical category and non mainstream is anything that isn't pop... a lot of them are pop. Wether they are pop-rock or pop-punk. They are pop.

Where is Oasis, The Smiths and The Verve?

*Dies in hole*

Again,
This thread = MASSIVE FAIL!

non mainstream is any music that isn't in the mainstream, the genre is irrelevant. its like Heidi Montag would be considered nonmainstream because very few people know of her music and she's never played. granted pop does dominate the mainstream and there are some genres with very few mainstream acts but there are a lot of RnB, Hip Hop, Punk and Electro acts in the mainstream too.

I do agree.

But when i was doing this i was basically thinking of alternative awards tbh

lol alternative and non mainstream really don't go together

[rquote=2592737&tid=147887&author=Nathan]lol alternative and non mainstream really don't go together[/rquote]

IKR.I have just realised it dosent make sense.

LOL
