mainstream

the death of creativity in a music genre.

Metal went mainstream and now its pretty much dead, grunge died as quickly as it rose to mainstream, rap is way too mainstream and is gonna be next.

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.

independent-mainstream

Someone who calls them self indie, there for they are not indie, buy indie-mainstream.

"DUDE im so indie, check out this new indie band, they are called The Polyamorous Affair. After i got their new cd i went and bought some tight jeans, a new pair of converse, some big headphones and a new flannel shirt."

"you sound a little independent-mainstream to me"

"no im just really indie, ok well ill talk to you later, im going to go to urban outfitters and think about how to be more indie"

M.S.M.H. (Mainstream Media Hysterics)

Mainstream Media Hysterics is the absolute belief and blind trust people have in Mainstream Media coverage and reporting.

Daniel has a problem in that whatever is so obviously staring him in the face but the mainstream media says otherwise he'd rather trust lies perpetuated by the MSM than his own experience. He's most definitely suffering from M.S.M.H. (Mainstream Media Hysterics). It's really quite sad.
