Cool Mainstream

--- Quote from: Everest ---I hate the whole mainstream/not mainstream idea, I must say. There's hardly any telling if there's any line, if there's any line to begin with. Everything's music, there's good and there's bad, and that's all I need. In fact, I'm way more uncomfortable with bands desperately trying not to be mainstream, than bands that don't care either way, and just make music.

Words to live by.

And I love Snow Patrol, seen them three times now and enjoyed every single concert...best was when they were supported by Keane, that was great!

Thank you! :)

And I too think Snow Patrol is good. Definitely better than Coldplay, I fail to see where that comparison came from.

OLP is good too, but mainstream? Maybe on native soil. I've never heard them on the radio, never read about them in magazines, never saw them on tv, never saw any publicity anywhere. I don't even know anymore how I got to know them. That reminds me to put on "Spiritual Machines" again. Good stuff.

Everything is mainstream on native soil. Another reason why I'm uncomfortable with the label "mainstream".

KharBevNor:
The media is a tool designed to mold us into slaves
Drugging us into an empty, apathetic daze.
The trick is that we think that everything is going fine
But the truth to our reality lies buried in the mind
I don't give a fuck about the Hollywood elite;
I don't really care if models can't fucking eat.
I don't give a fuck a fuck about which movie is on top.
But what I really know is that the shit has got to stop.
Consumer appetites are never satisfied in full,
Beause the objects that they buy can simply never fill the void.
A constant need for meaning, and accumulating shit,
drives the lust in their obsession just to get another fix.
I don't give a fuck about the TV ratings game,
The Real World is not a party, just a place for the insane.
If that reflects reality, then pass another drink
You try to be a millionaire, I'll vomit in the sink.
What the fuck is left to try,
on an avaricious nation on an economic high?
If Rome could last 500 years,
who then will throw the wrench inside our gears?
The bottom line is money on the Western power scene,
where celebrities and porn can let the population dream.
They're pathetic human living in an advertising glut,
who devour with a passion what the mainstream vomits up

Dying Fetus - Pissing in the Mainstream

Johnny C:
An expected statement from a band named "Dying Fetus."

Wow, touched a nerve there...sounds like someone needs to be put down for a nap!

Does it really matter what other people are listening to as long as they're having a good time? I mean, if we all had EXACTLY the same tastes the world would be a pretty fucking mind-numbing place.

Of course it matters!

You contradict yourself; The purpose of railing against the mainstream is that homogenising taste is its goal.

Truely mainstream music (Britney, Avril et al) is the music that people like without truely knowing why or rather the music they like by default because they have no personal taste.
