mainstream indie

Bands popular amongst only indie kids, but break out into the MTV crowd. Includes almost all bands that start with "The". They're not indie anymore, but you don't know what else to peg them as.

Hipster 1: I cannot stand this wave of mainstream indie, those bands were soo much better before they sold out and got big.

Hipster 2: Ugggh, I know, those bands are just so uncool now.

Mainstream

A way for hipsters to describe modern music/ trends. Most commonly used my people who think that the media is ruining life.

Hipster- "I liked life before it went mainstream".

mainstream nigga

Someone who goes along with the rest of the crowd with what's "new" or "popular" at the time. Someone who isn't original.

He looks and acts like all of the other tools. Must be a mainstream nigga.

manstreaming

like manspreading, but with one's music on the speakers far too loud and ultimately loud enough for everyone in the vicinity to hear even if they don't want to

Chae, Ikaia, Hetrick, and Ian were manstreaming Big Bootie outside today while playing beer die.

Mainstream Hipster

A person, usually among the young demographic, who consistently wears plaid shirts and skinny jeans. They go for the 'hipster look', however, they generally still listen to mainstream pop and hip-hop, which defeats the purpose of their efforts. (They may also listen to 'alternative' like Mumford and Sons or Death Cab for Cutie's new album). Mainstream Hipsters will generally group together to form their own clique of MHs, however, they can be spotted among other social groups occasionally.

Mainstream Hipster 1: "Omg, did you know that Ben Gibbard used to have this band called The Postal Service? Omg, that was like, so long ago."
MH 2: "No way! That's soo cool. Death Cab for Cutie is like, my FAVORITE. They're sooo hipster."
MH 1: "omg I know."
*real hipsters walk by, listening to Jinja Safari and Arctic Monkeys*
Real Hipster 1: "Wow, look at those Mainstream Hipsters."
Real Hipster 2: "Hipster fail."

Mainstream Media

A term used by people who get all of their "news" and "information" from youtube, to describe any source offering facts that don't comport with the nonsense they've been consuming. More hardcore idiots will use the acronym MSM because they reference the mainstream media so much.

I went to buy some light bulbs and the cashier started telling me about how the mainstream media is covering up UFOs. When I told him I didn't have time to talk, he told me I had been "blue pilled."
