Mainstream isn't a genre, it's a status. A band becomes mainstream when they get signed to a major label and they write radio friendly songs. I wouldn't say LostProphets "verge" on mainstream...I would say they are and always have been mainstream.

I realise mainstream is a status, I have a different idea to it's definition than most people here do then.
I meant verge as in their songs are getting more well known and recognised.
I always assumed bands like My Chemical Romance and Greenday were mainstream, I always liked them beforehand.
