AND finally the third post.

This is my conversation with syahir and syafiq , as Syahir started this insignificant topic. MAINSTREAM.

Syahir : jon, im not listening to mainstream anymore, im changing to underground.
ME : you better stick with mainstream.
Syafiq : ya la. dont try to fit in if you cannot.
Syahir : I dont want to be label as a poseur...sobs.. it hurts me you know...(crying)
ME and Syafiq: no, we dont know.




Here's my definition for Mainstream, as people still misuse this word.



Mainstream is a term used to describe when a "UNDERGROUND" genre of musical expression has been fully embraced by the public media through aggressive advertising for instance , MTV. Following this phase, the style begins to rapidly plunge in popularity while the ravenous leeches and poseurs(ex. Syahir) choose to find a new fad to gnaw upon.


During the "Golden Years" of a mainstream topic, the genre receives praise in record numbers, often represented by record numbers of identity-free morons with nothing to make themselves "stand out". It gains brief immortality during this phase, with not enough love, and not enough hate to extricate it.

Only when the "haters" prevail in larger numbers in proportion to fans will the death sentence of a genre be finalized.


Rap music still hasn't died because for a decade ( taken from a source), it has worked secretly to poison the urban population with wife-beating lyrics and brain-damaging rhythms, making a permanently imprint on the inner-city folk. tsk a very devilish plan indeed...


A band is often labled mainstream when it attempts to appeal to a wider audience, such as when Slipknot released ' The Subliminal Versus ', or Cradle of Filth 's more recent releases.

SYAHIR YOU SHOULD REALLY READ THIS!
