I've always been under the impression that the meaning of being an artist is that artists do what they want and how they want in regards to their work. Artists work for themselves and don't care what the market tells them. This is just what I've always thought, I'm not an artist of any kind.
Mainstream music is like any other genre of music, but for whatever reason they are deemed more marketable and can bring in more cash.
All this pop shit will go away sometime to be replaced by a new sound that makes more money, just like any other fad and trend in history.
