The Mainstream 

A machination of the corporate world. Designed to target a creative outlet and turn it into a business model, target market, key demographic, etcetera.
How the mainstream operates:

1. The mainstream is established...
2. An alternative is established to the mainstream...
3. The mainstream targets the alternative...
4. The alternative becomes the mainstream...

And therefore the alternative loses its identity, having become absorbed by the very system it was established to rally against. Mainstream for the masses...

ruined by the mainstream 

When a game, movie or television series gets popular all of a sudden and suddenly becomes cancerous due to the small cancerous portions of the following becoming much, much bigger. A recent example of this was the Friday the 13th film series, which recently got a video game made for it that became extremely popular.
Guy 1: Hey bro, have you ever heard of Undertale?
Guy 2: Yeah man, that game got ruined by the mainstream.

schmegegge 

Yiddish slang word meaning bullshit, baloney, hogwash, nonsense, crock of shit or hot air.
I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
His version of the story was pure schmegegge.
The whole schmegegge was made up to get Liz a little bit of attention.
