A term created by people who have a need to feel different from everybody else, yet cannot without finding a derogatory term for people who listen to the radio. There is a reason the bands that "mainstreamers" listen to are on the radio, because they appeal to a larger audience. At one time, the bands on the radio were less well known. They weren't just born famous, they worked their way up to being on the radio and successful. What happens when the underground bands that others listen to finally get on the radio? Do they become "mainstreamers" too? Or do they immediately hate the band and move on.
Hey, look at that guy listening to System of a Down, what a mainstreamer.
I know, we are totally different from him. Let's go cut ourselves.

Get the minsterley mug.Something that's popular. Sure, it's trendy, sure, it's probably on MTV and popular among people-but, honestly-is it really that much of an issue if I have Lady Gaga on my Ipod? She's in there with Amanda Palmer and Porcelain and the Trams as well-am I indie enough for you?
The lot of you are being really rude. Some mainstream is good, it's not the end of the world, so stop complaining that somebody else likes Rihanna and you like The Decemberists.
Grow up.

Person A: Hey, have you heard the new release from Lady Gaga? It's pretty good. I think I"ll give her a chance!
Person B: Umm..that stuff is forced down our throats by mtv and stuff. You shouldn't listen to that. Here, I got a new album based off of a Pitchfork review, you should try it.
Person A: *listens*
Yeah...no offense dude, but I don't like it.
Person B: *scoffs* You're just another one of the sheeple. A slave to the mainstream. You just have bad taste.

Get the Mainstream mug.A small, mile by mile wide party town. If you don't like to have fun-leave. The town has a pheomonal cross country and track team along with a decent football and basketball team. Other sports don't get much attention. Everyone knows everyone. One of the best places to hang out on the weekends is Willys or the Dutch Mill. Minster is also known for it's fabulous OKtoberfest. There is never a dull moment in this town! Most people wish they were form Minster.
