sometimes I enjoy MTV, there is some humor on that channel that I enjoy. And sometimes I read a popular book. Thats all though. ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

I answered question 1 with yes, but Friede and I listen to WDR3 only, a radio station that does not broadcast pop music, but lots of classical and jazz and lately prog too. and no advertising there either. so that's probably not very mainstream -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

I listen to the radio about once or twice a week, but the music they play in the programs I listen to isn't very mainstream. I like reality shows, at least some of them. I sometimes read books that are currently popular with the masses, but most of the books I read are not. I guess I'm less mainstream than I thought. By the way, do I get extra points if I haven't even heard of Hollister? |

F*ck drugs, f*ck fashion trends, f*ck MTV.
None of the above. This sh*t just doesn't appeal to me. However I do party with friends and don't think there's anything mainstream-ish about this. Actually I don't look at it in this way - "is it mainstream or is it not?", I just do what I like. ------------- Weasels ripped my flesh |

Yes. Or at the very least stupid.
Does listening to the Classical station on the radio count? I also listen to the Classic Rock station sometimes, so I guess that counts. I don't do any of those other things though.
Just for the record, the NY Times Bestseller list is complete garbage. (Well there's probably a few good books hidden in there. But The DaVinci Code suxxorz.) Read good books, people! ------------- "Never forget that the human race with technology is like an alcoholic with a barrel of wine."

I listen to the radio and enjoy some of it (but its classic rock, and the station plays a good bit of proggy stuffs [pink floyd, yes, etc]).
I also like SOME reality tv. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

I listen to radio sometimes .. but it's a rock channel. I watch MTV but not for the music, but because of South Park and Jackass. |
