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

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

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.

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.

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.

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*

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