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.

...is so mainstream

Similar to your mom jokes, but making fun of how hipsters reject anything as soon as it becomes popular with the masses, or better said, mainstream.

Basically you call one thing mainstream and go on to praise another thing for some kind of (retarded or otherwise) reason.
Examples of ...is so mainstream jokes:

Lady Antebellum is so mainstream, I prefer Wilco because Seth Rogen mentioned them in Funny People.

Pokémon is so mainstream, I prefer Monster Rancher because it never got its well-deserved limelight.

Francis Ford Coppola is so mainstream, I prefer Stanley Kubrick because his films make you think with your brain instead of just see with your eyes.

Sea otters are so mainstream, I prefer river otters because they don't pollute the ocean with their trash and feces.

mainsteam

Any half-hearted and disingenuous attempt by the mainstream to pass itself off as new, nonconformist, or anti-establishment.

vb. mainstream ("normal", trendy, majority, conformist, establishment) + steam (to let off steam or relieve pressure)
"GAP is donating half of the sales on red items to support Women's Rights in the Third World!"
"They're just mainsteaming. don't believe that crap."
...
"I went to a hippie festival last month to check out the scene, but I realized I was just mainsteaming. I don't actually understand their deal."

mainstream

CRAPPY MUSIC that goes by the standards and implied guidelines set by other songs that are currently popular.

The only inkling of individuality is either a) the lead singer's voice, or b)the fucking tone of the guitar.
Both of those are still a rarity.

Sometimes, you can define a mainsrteam band by the ranking they are at on the top 40 list, or the iTunes most popular. But not always, because sometimes good indie music is mistakenly put there.
jock: "Dude, I just got this new CD. It's 'American Idiot' man!! I feel so bad-ass! Aren't they awesome, singing about America and shit?!"

smart indie kid: "Fuck man, don't spend money on that mainstream garbage.
Go buy some Pinback."
