Mainstream is generally the common current thought of the majority. Mainstream music denotes music that is familiar and unthreatening to the masses....(Wiki helped with this)
I am the wrongest person to ask about music I would get the grade after F9 if I was to take a test on it. I started listening to music in my 1st year of the university(2006) thanks to my roomie and closest friend who flooded my head with different rock songs especially coldplay.
For me any kind of music goes mainstream or no mainstream but it is funny how a song comes out no matter how useless the contents it spreads like wild fire and becomes a hit-track ie Oliver by Dbanj. I have no problem with mainstream music as far as it is accepted by the society. Let's try and break it down, a song is released and it doesn't to make sense but all the stations on the radio keep playing it, all the clubs you go you hear it, its almost impossible for you not to whistle it or try to sing it after hearing it over and over again.
Let me use myself as an example I love Lady Gaga's songs (yes I said it and I am not the anti-christ), the way she sings just gets me going I know I am beginning to sound occultic but to me once I block my ears and hear her ish m in a world of my own, I feel at ease no matter who has hurt me or broken my heart :D
I know I digressed from my topic of the day but I tried naa, who am I to criticise what the public likes. That's it am out of here but before I go I think Nigerians are really doing good stuff in the music industry we are coming up. Shout out to Mo hits, Choc boiz, Tu Baba and the rest you know yourselves.
