Mainstream music

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.
