But my views on mainstream music...
Basically, it comes down to this: it's popular for a reason. I may not like everything, but some people do and that's fine. I don't have to listen to it if I don't like it or don't want to. It doesn't really bother me.
I do like some mainstream music, and that's okay too. I also like some not-so-mainstream music. I like what I like, and that's all that matters. It's nobody's business but my own.
I don't know that there's much more to say on this topic. Kind of a strange question, but I answered it.
Here are some of my favorites right now though:
Bruno Mars, Doo-Wops and Hooligans: The Other Side {feat. Cee Lo Green and B.O.B.}
Taylor Swift {duh}, Speak Now: Long Live {I was there!}
Florence and the Machine, Lungs: Drumming Song
Britney Spears: Hold it Against Me
Love,
