How 'mainstream' are you? (indie, punk, beatles, Radiohead, quote)

As I said, the mainstreamness of something is decided by how much it is listened to on last.fm. For instance, Radiohead is the most popular band on last.fm therefore in the last.fm world they're the most mainstream.

I don't think these things are supposed to be taken entirely seriously, though.

It's all very well taking into account my top 15 artists but it doesn't take into account the other 485 more obscure ones I have below it.
