Mainstream Media

The most widely consumed media networks and publications in the West. Often they're either neoliberal or conservative and their views follow moneyed interests. The mainstream media is where most low-information voters get their politics from.

Definitely not abbreviated "MSM" (more commonly understood as "Men who have sex with men")
The Mainstream Media is so out-of-touch with the working class!

mainstream music

commercilized conformist music that is made to not offend anybody. It is listened to in the masses and often is unoriginal. People who don't have a clue about real music like mainstream because it is easy to listen to and it means they don't have to think and can save the effort of their braincells to think about what they should have for tea or who will be evicted from big brother.
guy: that joe mcelderry song 'the climb' is such an example of mainstream music.
girl: i know, that is why rage against the machine's 'killing in the name of' got the christmas number one.

Mainstream Eminemer

Someone who is in love with Eminem when he collaborates with Lil Wayne, and other mainstream rappers.

They love his new songs because they talk about dropping the world on peoples heads and not being afraid.

These people tend to lack the knowledge of what real music and or Eminem is now a days.
Mainstream Eminemer: Man, I love that song Not Afraid! Great song I'll listen to it for hours! I'M NOT AFRAID TO TAKE A STAND! So inspirational.

Stranger: Ever listen to Lose Yourself? That's even better, great song from back in the day man.

Mainstream Eminemer: WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? That music is so early 2000's. His new stuff is way better dude!

Stranger: All his stuff now is bullshit, go get The Slim Shady EP and listen to it, maybe that will change your mind.

Mainstream Eminemer: Whatever.

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 Pop

95% of it is shit. It takes the old pop genre, and shits it down a drain. This kind of "music" is aimed at the target audiences of teens and kids who don't appreciate other kinds of musics.

To a mainstream pop fan, anything that contains yelling or screaming is for emos who "cry in teh corner whill we give boys a head".

If you hear mainstream pop being played, destroy the device playing it and you'll save your sanity.
Justin Bieber - All of his songs
Lady Gaga - Again, all of her songs,
Jonas Brothers - Wannabe "rock" stars who plays pop "rock". Has NOTHING to do with actual rock or alternative rock.

ALL of those are mainstream pop
