Commercialized music that is extremely popular among people. Depending on the generation, mainstream music may be great or it may be garbage. As of the 2000's, mainstream has been garbage. Even more recently, Pop and generic rock music has overtaken Rap music, and the mainstream is at it's apex of garbage.
Mainstream music is contantly shat out by Hollywood, and what is considered piping hot now will be forgotten in a few years. For example, all of the boy-bands popular in the late 1990's to early 2000's are nowhere to be seen.
You can find many shat-out artists such as Lady Gaga plastered all over the Myspace home page.

Music that's usually on the radio, Top 40 and is well known to the general public. Usually criticized by fans of the previous mainstream generations, and people who prefer bands and/or genres that aren't apart of the mainstream popularity of the time.
Todays Mainstream Music usually includes Bands/Artits such as 50 cent, Rhianna, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, etc.

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".

Most people in my school listen to Mainstream Music and it and due to them playing it so much whilst I was in earshot, it gave me ear cancer.
