I'm all about some Boston.

I think The System (TM) often neuters "art" to make it palatable to a larger audience. More sweet syrup for the masses, ya know.
I see "main stream" as a bunch of niches. The Misfits, for example, are main stream horror punk. But they're not on your local radio station.
All the bands that the Misfits inspired represent the kind of underground that you find yourself in once you go beyond the contents of the Best Buy rack.
You get a taste for the genre in that niche and suddenly you're listening to less popular bands like American Werewolves, Nim Vind, and The Vladimirs.
...
I know nothing of music and art, so I'll try not to put my foot in my mouth.
