Welcome.

I wonder why mainstream music is never good music, I thought mainstream was supposed to show the trademark of something (like mainstream football, etc)

Mainstream is just popular music. MTV, Vh1, and radio stations want their money. The bigger the fanbase, the better, they'll play anything that gets them money. You hate it, and so do others... Just don't listen to it.

That made me lol.

Anyway, welcome to the forum. Stick around long enough and we'll have you liking everything from Ravi Shankar to Miley Cyrus.

Honestly id like to hear recomendations from you guys for music based on what I like. I wanna expand my interest haha.

This. I can't stand chart music so I do my best to avoid it/pretend it doesn't exist, it doesn't annoy me because it doesn't affect me.

The best place for that.

I see you like Rage Against The Machine? Do you like rapping? There's a guy called P.O.S who does some really great alt. rock/punk rock inspired hip-hop.

Looks like you might like punk. Ever hear the Bad Brains or Minor Threat?

I only listen to rage cause of its metal aspect. Never heard of those.

Try the Bad Brains album Rock for Light. Minor Threat was pretty short lived so you can get their entire discog on one disc, just called The Complete Discography.

Also check out this band called Scratch Acid. They have a posthumous CD called The Greatest Gift that's really good.

I can "help you find" these albums if you want.

I looked on youtube, bad brains is looking pretty neat right now.
