Both bands I used to like but went through the pop grinder and turned into cuddly little stuffed animals for all the 13 year olds.

Here's my usual scenario: I find a good new band/song, put it on my ipod in my car and listen for a few weeks. Then I'm in my car with my gf and that good band/song comes on the ol' playlist and she's like "I love this song. It's on the radio all the time." It is usually promptly removed from my iPod.

I cannot stand when a little band i found opening a concert for a bigger band all of sudden become mainstream. It totally ruins the band for me. I know, it is wrong to wish a band failure just so I can be cool and be the only one listening to them but that is me. I cannot think of how many bands I used to love that I will not sniff at now. I have a collection of used cds if you want them. I love going to concerts and see that barely anyone knows the band i am there to see. Show me a band that went mainstream and kept their sound and I will pay you a million dollars. Greenday is pretty close, but they are in class all alone. I am just hoping that the fashion statement of wearing tight jeans, t-shirts and cons wears off and only the people that really listen to the music and go to real concerts in run down shit holes are left.

I think bands that do end up going mainstream also change their sound to a more produced and popish feel. Could use Fall Out Boy as a perfect example. Or Good Charlotte. Both of those bands I thought were awesome. But the major producers got a hold of them and completely changed their sound and appeal. Yesh definitely..
