-Is there even such a thing as "mainstream"

-of mainstream vs. counterculture seems as
-quaint as the idea that there are only two
-genders or only two sexes. Kids don't listen to
-rock & roll to rebel, they listen to soundcloud
-emo rap, or whatever, and if the niche sound that
-speaks directly to them doesn't exist, they can
-invent it and upload it for the world to hear with
-little more than a cheap laptop.
