Do you like mainstream music?

I like mainstream music.

I already have an idea of what the poll results are going to look like. It's going to be something along the lines of 98-99% of voters answering "No" in the poll. Heck, I'll probably be the only one who answers "Yes".

I'm not sure if some of the stuff I like is mainstream. I think some of it is quite popular but whether it is mainstream is debatable. I don't have a problem if someone likes mainstream music, if they like it then all the more for them.

If by mainstream you mean fairly new and played on the radio constantly, yes I do like some of it.

For the most part. I obviously can't like every mainstream song that comes out.

Mainstream metal/classic rock (Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Mettalica, Journey, just to name a few for example), then yes. Mainstream pop, no.

Depends. What is your definition of "mainstream"? Once the band has a Top 100 hit? Once they have a music video? Once too many people know about them?

Do older bands like classic rock, blues, jazz count as mainstream?

Well, I like a lot of mainstream music, how much depends on the definition.

Well, you're wrong. Four people have voted yes and two have voted no, which is surprising to me. It's still young though.

As for me, I do like mainstream music, whether it's Owl City, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift or Beyoncé, I can get into it.

Most of the people here listen to mainstream music and deny such, mostly because they associate it to pop and such other more popular genres these days.

Of course I like mainstream music, some more recent artists really do have talent.

Some of it is good, most of it is bad.

The same is true of just about everything ever.

I tend to shy away from mainstream music and listen to more hidden gems in every genre. But I definitely see the appeal of mainstream music.

If by mainstream you mean modern and newer music that is popular and get's plenty of radio play then no I do not. If you count mainstream from different decades then I listen to older stuff that was mainstream in the seventies and eighties.

I'm pretty sure this is meant to be modern mainstream music, like the modern pop and hip hop of today, with a few rock bands (Nickelback, Theory of a Deadman).

Some of it's good. Some of it's absolute crap.

EDIT: Crap, I voted for the wrong one. I shoulda voted for "No", but I thought the poll said "Do you DISLIKE mainstream music"

No, but I would NEVER right off an artist simply because they're popular.

Yes I like a lot of it, but I prefer the stuff that isn't so popular just because it usually requires more talent or I hear it less so when I do listion to it, its a change.

I have to say no overall, because there are too many things regarding mainstream music which I don't like, as in, I don't like what's going on. But otherwise there are many songs i've enjoyed that hit the mainstream.

Some modern mainstream is okay, but most of my favorites are lesser known.

Me not like. I honestly thin kthat there are a lot of unknown songs that are way better than the mainstream ones. But commercials rule the music world.

I like what I like. Sometimes I like mainstream music, sometimes I don't. I like some genres that aren't often talked about, and I like some genres that are always being talked about. I just like what I like. I'm not afraid to say that I like a mainstream or very famous band like The Beatles, but I also like lesser-known stuff like Pavement, Dr. Dog, Heatmiser, etc. I don't go out of my way to listen to underground music just so I can say that I'm special. I just like what I like, and I like a lot of music.

New mainstream music... heck no. Old- yes, majority of it is good. Pop died mid 90's imo. I'm just going to vote no since the definition of mainstream usually means new. I mainly listen to classic rock. Some of it was mainstream back then.

I like a good deal of the music played on the local mainstream modern rock station, with a handful of exceptions, of course.

My musical collection of indie rock, metal, and underground hip-hop is supplemented by Katy Perry, Leona Lewis, and a bunch of other female pop artists.

I know. He needs to specify a bit more. Especially because mainstream could mean old music to. I voted assuming he ment new pop/rap.

Eh. Some of its really good, and my favorite band is mainstream, but a lot of mainstream is terrible.
