What's so bad about mainstream music?

Nothing - the reason it's called mainstream is because it's the music enjoyed by the largest number of people - and if it's the favorite musical style for the majority of the people, there can't be that much wrong with it. It isn't highbrow, isn't experimental or off the wall - it's just nice music.

Well, for me personally, I don't like it because... well... it's mainstream, MEANING that it's probably well known, which leads to it being well PLAYED on the radio, between friends, etc. I don't really not like "mainstream" music, but I DO like new music, and when I hear a song on the radio every day for a week straight, just doesn't do it for meh.

Just my point of view.

EDIT: if a band has a good mainstream song that I like, I always get the album. So there's always different songs on that that I usually like... so... yeah...

:D

Over-produced, terrible song-writing, lack of talent. too sensitized, no originality, boring beats and uncreative musicality, no heart, corporate etc.

it's just production for the masses for the sake of making money.

not original, same chord progressions, stupid lyrics, stupid music videos... I could go on forever.

some people just want to look cool.

Some is bad,some is good.

nothing...
