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.

Get the MANstache mug.People that conform to 'new' trends that are viewed as 'cool'. In return these people are accepted by acting like one in the crowd of unoriginal 'self' social ruling and ignorant people. This is mostly seen in High School where only certain looks and trends of music are conceived 'cool'. This leads to unoriginal one minded thinking. These people have no personality of their own other than how well they adapt to mainstream culture.

Get the Mainstream Fag mug.I won't lie to you. 99.9 percent of mainstream rap DOES suck. And coming from a rap fan, that's saying something. It's people like 50 Cent who are promoting stereotypes of rap-talkin' all that shit about hoes, money, drugs and takin' people to the candy shop. They're ruining a great music genre.
