mainstream fan

a stupid pop fan, will like whatever gets radioplay/whatever's popular. has no real music interests or preferences, just whatever it on billboard or trl. some one who only knows the big singles. they are typically teens that don't know what their own opinions are yet.

in my opinion, these people aren't even music fans. just clones. if you are one of those people where the only songs you listen to have music videos and are on mtv, STOP! there is SO much great music out there are you need to find out what you like! Don't let ANYONE else's opinion on music effect yours, just listen to the music you like!
sally is a mainstream fan. her favorite song is whatever is number one on the charts.

mainstream friend 

A friend who does not participate in the underground culture of rollerblading.

The word was derived from all of the underground music, such as Anticon, associated with the rollerblading world compared to the many mindless musicians and bands like 50 Cent, Coldplay, and The All-American Rejects whom the average friend gobbles up, never realizing the intellectual greatness of the underground.

This mirrors the world of rollerblading because of the lack of common knowledge most people have of it.
Rollerblader 1: Yo dawg, you wanna roll today?
Rollerblader 2: Naw man, I'm hangin' with mainstream friends.

Rollerblader: Could you name one pro rollerblader?
Mainstream Friend: No.
Rollerblader: That's what I thought.

Mainstream 

Mainstream is what's the new trend. when one "style" gets old, a new one is reborn, a mainstream person is someone who jumps from trend to trend so that they fit in with the rest of the crowd. Mainstream is being what society thinks you should be, and look like.
Avril lavigne took the casual wearage of the tie,something "underground" and unique, and turned it into something everyone wears, she turned it into something "normal", a trend. mainstream.

mainstream 

A person (or more commonly persons) which follow the common/accepted/most seemingly popular trend. The trends are normally labeled, causing a divide of those who conform and do not conform (non-conformists) until the non-conformists become the common trend, creating a cycle.
Today's common mainstream trends are labeled as 'emo' (Many of these titles are misused). The older term for the jumping of trends is 'Fashionista or Fashionister'

Mainstream rap 

Almost all mainstream rap sucks. It is easy to discover mainstream rap as all you have to do is turn on your T.V. or radio and you're bound to be fed that crap. More people should listen to Blackalicious, The Roots, Jurassic 5, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common, Lyrics Born etc...
Mainstream fan: Yo... u hear that joint from 50 Cent and Akon man? That shit on MTV is hot!!!

Real Hop Fan: I don't even have the time to argue but mainstream rap is awful.

mainstream music 

music that is over-played and shouldnt be referred to as music, but ear piercing shit made by computers in a studio for a popular singer to buy and put shitty lyrics such as "babyy babyy babyy oh!!" or "take a dirty picture of me" over the top to make it sound even "better". then to be fed to the world on a radio station for every one to get sick of, then another loser makes a "better" song and thus the cycle starts again.
bill- "hey joe, do you for any chance listen to mainstream music?"

joe- "hell no you fucking whore, i hate that overplayed bullshit, its like someones shitting in my ears"
