Mainstream usually means the ones pushed on uscall by the record companies who own them. Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, and loads of other mainstream "artists" use the same Swiss company to write their extremely formulaic and boring songs for them, to a specific set of notes and timing. True music lovers can't stand that stuff.
