Almost all mainstream rap sucks. It is easy to discover mainstream rap as all you have to do is turn on your T.V. or radio and you're bound to be fed that crap. More people should listen to Blackalicious, The Roots, Jurassic 5, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common, Lyrics Born etc...
Mainstream fan: Yo... u hear that joint from 50 Cent and Akon man? That shit on MTV is hot!!!
Real Hop Fan: I don't even have the time to argue but mainstream rap is awful.

Get the Mainstream rap mug.music that is over-played and shouldnt be referred to as music, but ear piercing shit made by computers in a studio for a popular singer to buy and put shitty lyrics such as "babyy babyy babyy oh!!" or "take a dirty picture of me" over the top to make it sound even "better". then to be fed to the world on a radio station for every one to get sick of, then another loser makes a "better" song and thus the cycle starts again.

Get the Mainstream Beer mug.A current scene in rock music that contains numerous bands who identify themselves or are labelled as emo, but share none of the stylistic traits of foundational emo bands such as Fugazi, Rites of Spring, Sunny Day Real Estate, or Texas is the Reason. This style began in the D.C. Hardcore scene during the Revolution Summer of 1985. Earlier bands often sounded akin to hardcore punk, but utilizing more dissonance and more varied time signatures. Nineties bands were often softer and focused on intricate guitar work and melodies.
Such bands may include Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, Hawthorne Heights, Fall Out Boy, Something Corporate, As I Lay Dying, and Panic! At the Disco, among others. Most of these bands fit more comfortably into the post-hardcore, alternative rock, or modern rock categories. These bands are known for a generic sound, whiny and/or nasally vocals, and for overtly depressing and sad lyrics. Most of the bands adhere to the stereotypes of the emo fashion, but some, like My Chemical Romance, have adopted their own identifiable look. Their guitar work usually consists of power chords, tuned to Drop-D with heavy distortion, not unlike nu-metal. Some of the more musically technical bands likely fit better into the fashioncore, metalcore, or post-hardcore scenes.

Get the Mainstream Hell mug.There are people out there who have a dislike for mainstream. Some hate it, some can tolerate it but not really prefer it. Many people ask why some people hate mainstream. Some reasons are that some people what to be different. But, in other cases it's just that mainstream things get boring. You hear some songs play on the radio on repeat and you get tired of it. Everyone listens to it, everyone knows the words, so it just becomes..well..un-original. Some people like things that aren't popular because they feel more freshened out. For example, when you are a fan of a widely known celebrity, you have many people screaming that they're that persons number one fans. You have the haters and all the mix up you see on the media. When it comes to lesser known artists, their music is more heard, you know what i mean? You won't usually see their fans fighting and etc because the fans are really alla bout the music. Okay it's really hard to explain, but i'll try to wrap it up in a few sentences. Mainstream can get boring, used and un-original. Some people do't mind that, but others rather a more unique view on things. When it comes to clothing most anti-mainstream shoppers would get their clothes from thrift shops, maybe even hot topic and lesser known stores instead of Urban Outfitters or Aeropostale. I hope this makes more sense.
Anti-Mainstream is when your not into/against mainstream or widely popular things. Like when you rather the band SmallPools over One Direction. And when you rather the movie Killing Daddy instead of Insidious.
