manstructions

The act of assembling any newly obtained product without the aid of the included instructions. Usually performed by men who feel they don't need mundane advice from a useless piece of paper, this can result in time delays during construction.

Ego Man #1: Nah, we don't need the instructions to assemble this new set of storage shelves - instructions are for lames, dude. We'll use our built in manstructions.

Ego Man #2: Damn strait man, hell yah - lets do it.

~5 hours later~

Ego Man #1: Sh*t we should have used those instructions.

Mainstremo

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.

Taking Back Sunday is Mainstremo. Fugazi is emotional/emotive hardcore, the true meaning of emo.

Mainstream Hell

Where bad music spawns out and eats away at the minds of stupid children like ants swarming on a dead cow. It can also be compared to a dangerous drug.

It is a dark age for music. Sadly.

Anti-Mainstream

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.

mainstream rapper

A hip hop artist commonly grouped by stereotypes such as:

Wearing skinny jeans
Talking about guns, drugs, and hoes
Being ignorant

In reality, a mainstream rapper is just someone on a major label who gets radio play and sells a lot of records.

Truthfully, a lot of mainstream rappers suck, and mainstream rappers who are good are generally considered "underground" even if they run the radio.

Guy1: I liked Eminem's Marshall Mathers LP CD, but then he became a mainstream rapper.

Guy2: He was always mainstream, the MMLP sold 1.1 million in the first week!
