There's plenty of other reasons why people would hate them for going mainstream.

Some bands songs just don't stand up to being played on radio or TV 30 times a day. That'll put me off a band instantly, I don't want to hear the same stuff over & over again. Even if it's stuff I like.

And then you have bands who bang on about loving how much they have the artistic freedom to do whatever they want and all this kind of stuff & 2 years later they have some song on an advert selling something.
I'm not against bands using music to make a bit of extra money, I just can't stand the hypocrisy of being preached to and then see them throw it in people's faces.

All valid reasons for not liking a band going mainstream
