mainstreaming

The act of a vampire trying to fit in with human society, such as drinking synthetic blood while being able to be around the human population. Refraining from feeding from humans while in social situations.

While at Fangtasia, Bill told Pam he hadn't been around much, as he had been mainstreaming. (characters from True Blood)

mainstream music

music that hipsters and music elitists like to hate because it makes them feel special

Brad " hey wanna listen to some Coldplay"
Tom "fuck no you pleb that is mainstream garbage you need to listen to this artist that is completely unknown"
Brad " Jesus Christ man chill its just music"
Tom " those are the words of a non music lover, the true music lovers like unknown artists then hate them when they get popular and never listen to that horrible mainstream music"
Brad " ……. good to know....."

Mainstream

A bullshit thing that tells you what's in and what's out. I dont see how people actually listen and go along to the mainstream. If they to go along with said mainstream, they're probably brainwashed. Most Mainstreamed stuff is shown on MTV

Non-Mainstream Music

Pretty much the opposite of Mainstream music. Rarely, if ever, gets on the radio or top 40, and it's not usually well known to the general public. Also known as "Underground Music".

Non-mainstream music includes bands/artists such as Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Dälek, etc.
