99.999% of mainstream acts suck.

The "underground" is the only place with real creativity.

There's nothing wrong with liking mainstream stuff, there's a ton that I like

But... with most people having accest to the Internet, there's really no excuse for ONLY listening to mainstream stuff

when does a band stop being underground and cross over to mainstream?

when it's a sell out.

If you don't know what a sell out is I don't know if I should waste my time typing this out but I'm bored so what the hell

IMO a sell out is when a band/artist comprises their sound and what made them likeable to become radio friendly this usually happens after signing to a major label but doesn't always happen then.
