So, I don't think that there is something a rock or metal band can do to earn some mainstream attention, which is scary, indeed.

Mainstream media plays what they are paid to play (it's a new tongue twister!). Why should certain music became more mainstream anyhow? That would just be boring.
People who just listen to mainstream music by and large are casual fans and are not as sad and uptight as the more serious music fan who listens outside of the mainstream and that is how it's always been.
It really doesn't bother me one bit anymore. I can still get to hear the music I want to hear without been told what to listen to by the popular media.
