mainstream slang

The slang that is widely used between individuals of more than one area. Most of the slang on urban dictionary is, in fact, urban slang. This means that these words are used by only a single individual or a particular group of individuals.

Mainstream Slang: Cuh (cousin), phat (interesting), awesome (in awe about a specific item/event)
Urban Slang: Dlonka (a weird individual)

Mainstream Rap

95% of it sucks donkey ass. Most mainstream rappers are mainstream and popularbecause they encourage the stereotypes that hip hop is all about bitches, money, guns, rims, and drugs. But 5% of mainstream rappers do not encourage those stereotypes and are just popular. Something that everybody at your high school is singing and youre like "shut the fuck up that song is garbage. Like I said 95% of these rappers that are mainstream dont rap theyre just talking over a retarded ass beat made by some producer who cant produce worth shit.

Most mainstream rap lyrics include:

"ay shawty lets get high up in dis club."

"Ayo nigga lets go fuck some bitches and get money."

"Check out my rimz still spinnin muffuckerr."

"when i hit da club dey all showin me luv."

Some Good Mainstream Rap Includes - T.I., Kanye West, All of D12, Jay-Z, Lil Jon (hell yes I said it), Snoop Dogg, Flobots.

Some Bad Mainstream Rap Includes - Every other mainstream rapper that I didnt list in the good category.

Mainstream

Something that is liked by a majority of people and doesn't pertain to any particular subculture. Mainstream is not a particular style of music, it has nothing to with rap, it has nothing to do with the media forcing various types of music down our throats. It's just stuff that a lot of people like. That's it.

And as for the people saying shit like "Mainstream should die"... What do you think would happen if everyone started listening to the more underground music that you like?

It would be mainstream. Faggot.

mainstream

CRAPPY MUSIC that goes by the standards and implied guidelines set by other songs that are currently popular.

The only inkling of individuality is either a) the lead singer's voice, or b)the fucking tone of the guitar.
Both of those are still a rarity.

Sometimes, you can define a mainsrteam band by the ranking they are at on the top 40 list, or the iTunes most popular. But not always, because sometimes good indie music is mistakenly put there.

jock: "Dude, I just got this new CD. It's 'American Idiot' man!! I feel so bad-ass! Aren't they awesome, singing about America and shit?!"

smart indie kid: "Fuck man, don't spend money on that mainstream garbage.
Go buy some Pinback."

Urb Mainstream

When a slang term has been around for a very long time, but you just remember that slang word today because it was the Urban Dictionary word of the day.

Tony: Yo, everybody is saying "Balls out". I remember back when me and homies used to say that. I guess now that it was word of the day it hit the Urb Mainstream.

John: (Shit this dude got me in Verbal handcuffs about this "Urb Mainstream")

Too Mainstream

Catchphrase used by pretentious douches to disregard anything slightly popular in an effort to feel unique and relevant while royally failing at both.

X: This song is good!
Y: It was good before everyone knew about it, now it's too mainstream.
X: Whatever.
