Though the morrow may be barren of promises, nothing shall forstall my return.
I don't mean to sound rude, but do you not understand the point of mainstream? Yes, it is partially media talking it up... but there is a reason that it is considered "mainstream". It is because there is a very large following of it. Some people listen to music just because everyone else is, but some purely love it. Me personally, I love gangnam style. Not because it is popular, but because I enjoy the song (though like most I don't understand it). Unfortunately, there are thousands of artists out there who have amazing talent, but not many of them will get recognized. Even after they do, it is hard to get a name out there. Whenever you play music true to yourself, you will get a small but dedicated following, but if you want to grow you need to cater to others interests instead of your own and will be called a sellout. Music business is a cruel cruel part of life.
