Music Head Wrote:...I like the Spin list. I disagree with Jon that it is mainstream. Of course he's right it is all relative. Mainstream to me is Billboard, MTV, your local top 40 radio station. That list is in no way mainstream to me...Is Billboard, MTV and top 40 radio still most people's source for new music? I think the internet is. At least for the under 40 crowd. Which is not a slight at our older members, just that younger people are more likely to spend more time online. Which means the mainstream isn't what it used to be. I've never heard of some of the artists they get play on the radio.
That Spin list is mostly Indie rock. While Indie rock is not the entirety of the mainstream it is part of it now.
