Is there even such a thing as "mainstream"
anymore? I mean it used to be the case that
everybody watched the same nightly news and
listened to the same radio station. And
"counterculture" was growing your hair long
and listening to rock and roll. Now the duality
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.

At the other end of the LONG TAIL of the internet
is a metaphorical infosec furry, and because of
them there are as many small STREAMS and
countercultures as there are individual
people.
