Mainstream music? Am I mainstream?

I have always prided myself into listening to non mainstream music (I'm 13, all y friends listen to pop, hip hop. And rap) I listen to nickelback, daughtry, and maroon 5 (songs about jane, it won't be soon before long, not the new maroon 5 crap) am I considered mainstream for a 13 yr old? This is my fav kind of music.... I only listen to the older albums of these bands. I also listen to a ton of Five for Fighting

    you're mainstream because those bands are well known say if you listened to something like earlyrise i would say you aren't mainstream because the band is not well known edit:there is nothing wrong with mainstream music . also why should it matter? if you like a song or artist you like it then. it shouldn't matter if it's mainstream or not

    Kind of mainstream, i mean nickleback used to be quite big, so was daughtry but they have kinda died down, whether you listen to maroon 5s old stuff, theyre still mainstream from their song oves like jagger, so maroon 5 will bring your mainstream cred up abit ay, i wouldnt say ur really mainstream ay. What normally makes a person mainstream is if your into hiphop rap stuff you would normally hear on the radio :P

    Why does it matter? Seriously, only losers care about not being mainstream. Listen to music because you enjoy it, not because it's not popular and you feel exclusive for listening to it.

    If you think about it: everyone now is trying not to be mainstream. So if everyone is anti-mainstream..wouldnt that make anti-mainstream mainstream since everyone is doing it? You're 13, stop labeling yourself.

    You punk*ss wannabe hipster. Shut the f*ck up about mainstream and all this. The sh*t you listen to is on the radio and these guys go on big tours! Maroon 5 is as mainstream as it gets.

    Source(s): I hate people who even care about mainsteam. Shut the f*ck up and enjoy some music quietly.

    Listening to their older albums does not make it underground. That is very mainstream. And it is ok, it is your choice on what you listen too.

    Dude, nobody cares what music you listen to.

    Just listen to what you enjoy and practice the art of not giving a ****.
