For example, I love a lot of asian music, but I also have Lady Gaga, Nick Minaj, Katy Perry, Rihanna etc in my iTunes. But I also have The Cranberries, The Verve, James, The Veronicas, Faithless, Deep Forest...those are all really different bands with different genres of music. I love having music to fit any kind of mood I'm in, and just because I like some mainstream music, whether it be from the U.K, Japan, Korea, USA etc - doesn't mean that I can't listen to, per se, "interesting non-mainstream" music.

Also to clarify, I think some mainstream music can be very interesting. It's just about giving everything a chance despite the reputation that artist or genre of music may have. You never know what you might like.

I didn't say that their music tastes are bad, I was just surprised that mainstream wins even here.

Though actually I think I just expected more Of course mainstream will win since all the world know about it. It's easy to discuss and post a lot, so it will be always on top of General Music Chat forum.

And I'm really glad that you listen Lady GaGa, Katy Perry along with The Verve and Faithless

cause I do enjoy some pop-music like Britney or Lady GaGa too, and I can also say that I'm opened for almost every music genre. I believe it's possible to find at least 1 great song of every genre.

I just want to see something new here not always the same mainstream.

Mainstream is like the only thing here lol

After all, remember that Ayu is an extremely produced mainstream artist, just like most of the artists popular here. But what I think is interesting about our population, is that even though we may love the "mainstream", I think we have tastes that are very similar to ayu's repertoire of music, and so we have members who are into anything and everything under the sun as far as genres go.

Its really a deep thing about AHS that makes this community so great, and its nice that we are getting new members who are open to anything
