I personally hate Mainstream. Crap like Rap, Pop and Techno.

But alternative is a thing of Beauty.

PS: Older music like Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden or Deep Purple. etc, is considered Alternative in this thread. Same with Hardcore metal. But 80's, 90's pop (Yuck) is still considered mainstream.

Depends on what Tech N9ne is. It's rap, but only one of his/their songs has been played on the radio. What ever he is, I like it the most.

Beautiful music. Where you find it can always be a surprise...and I do not know if most of my music comes from either of those two groups :P

no such thing as a bad genre, only bad artists i don't really listen to rap too much but if its GOOD then i will enjoy it, you can't say a genre is crap. Only such and such artist is.

I'll go with alternative, though my preferred genre is hard rock/metal.

Good music>Bad music

Liking songs/bands based on how not "mainstream" they are is honestly lame.

It depends on what I'm listening to. You can't clump several genres up into one and then expect someone to compare it with another clump of genres.
