Favorite kind of music?

Since when imainstream is an insult?????
I didn't insult your music, so why the hell do you have to insult mine?????

And also, what you are saying shows little knowledge of the band. As I always say, "don't talk about things you don't know".

If someone tells me that I listen to mainstream music I take it as a giant insult, an affront to my honour if you will. I dislike mainstream people because all they do is hop on the 'trend train' and ride it indefinately, never getting off. I don't listen to my music because other people listen to it, I listen to it because *I* like it, so when someone calls me mainstream I feel like kickin em in the jewels. I suppose you could say I have the gothic personality without the gothic exterior. I hate stupid ignorant people and all things mainstream. Suppose that's one of the reasons I like ladyboys so much, because they are anything BUT mainstream.

Well, I didin't intend to offend you.
And some of the bands you listed are actually quite famous even between people who normally don't listen to rock or metal, that's undeniable (Nickelback, SOAD, Disturbed, Staind).
Some of the music I listen to can also be labelled "mainstream" (AC/DC, Iron Maiden and Led Zeppelin for example), but I could't care less about it.
