A term created by people who have a need to feel different from everybody else, yet cannot without finding a derogatory term for people who listen to the radio. There is a reason the bands that "mainstreamers" listen to are on the radio, because they appeal to a larger audience. At one time, the bands on the radio were less well known. They weren't just born famous, they worked their way up to being on the radio and successful. What happens when the underground bands that others listen to finally get on the radio? Do they become "mainstreamers" too? Or do they immediately hate the band and move on.
Hey, look at that guy listening to System of a Down, what a mainstreamer.
I know, we are totally different from him. Let's go cut ourselves.

A traditional eight hour day shift.
In some companies, the 9-5 is really 8:30-5 or 9-5:30. It's an extra half hour because of an unpaid 30 minute lunch break. In companies where you're paid by the hour, it's so you don't lose out on 30 minutes of pay. In ones where you're paid by the year, it's pretty much squeazing the extra half hour out of you in order to make up for the 30 minute lunch.
It generally refers to working Monday through Friday but in modern times where services are expected to be availalble durring non business hours, evening and weekend shifts are becomming an increasingly required demand of employees.

I used to work the traditional Mon-Fri 9-5 day shift but they've got me working weekends in the evenings now.
