Districts are really different across the country, but the more that people on the progressive Left show power at the ballot box – and reclassify some of the ideas that we’ve called ‘progressive,’ but that are really mainstream ideas, like college for all – the better.
My input for the first 16, 17 years of my life was AM radio, FM radio – pretty mainstream stuff. Rolling Stone was probably as edgy as it got.
Sippy Films have made some fabulous mainstream movies.
What I’ve become good at is bringing things that aren’t necessarily mainstream to the mainstream. What I did see on Twitter was a potential for mass publication; it’s a mainstream consumer broadcasting device. It transforms customers and companies. You have to be transparent or you fail.
It just seems like that because I do a lot of independent films that don’t get to the mainstream.
If you start as a Christian artist trying to be mainstream, you’re done from the beginning.
VR as a display technology, as it’s miniaturized and made comfortable and mainstream, will be a replacement for all other forms of display technology, input and output. So for anybody who works with computers all day, this is going to be our future.
A lot of people get into alternative music as part of their identity. It’s something that isn’t the mainstream, that their brothers and sisters don’t know about, and that their parents don’t like. It’s something they can have as their own.
Washington, D.C. is not on the side of mainstream and main street America.
It’s seldom that you find great moments in television. Usually you remember – in ‘Breaking Bad’ or any of these other great shows – you remember situations or characters. Not moments. But I have to say, I can make the same argument for mainstream movies, which have bad narratives and also no memorable moments.
What I’ve become good at is bringing things that aren’t necessarily mainstream to the mainstream.
I want mainstream artists to accept Latino artists as equals without us having to sing in English.
I’ve always been interested in showing our films to international audiences. The easiest way is through the festival circuit, a big marketing platform for films that aren’t big enough to be in the mainstream race.
The primary victims of Katrina, those who were given the least help by the government, those rescued last or not at all, were overwhelmingly people of color largely hidden from the mainstream of society.
Mainstream media has been abandoned by many, for ideological reasons mostly, and brands need to directly engage with the end-user of information and offer opportunities for consumer- and employee-generated content.
There’s nothing that makes me feel better than being on these mainstream shows, whether it’s ‘The View,’ ‘Colbert’ or whatever, and saying, ‘It’s a privilege to be black.’ Oh, I love that.
I wanted the Israeli mainstream audience to meet different kinds of Arabs – not just terrorists or politicians – and to listen to their language and their stories.
Secret Six has always had a special place in the DCU, just because they’re the misfits. The content is a little bit different than the rest of the mainstream titles. It has a completely different tone than any of the other books out there.
Absolute 80’s is three hours of mainstream 80’s music. I also do New Wave Nation that is more cutting edge. It is more punk stuff from the 70’s to the 90’s.
We’re making this huge changeover from underground to more mainstream audiences. I don’t know if we could ever repeat this type of feeling. We’re really excited.
I didn’t grow up like Quentin Tarantino, watching esoteric art films at the video store. I’d go to the multiplex and see big, mainstream movies, and I’d go, ‘I want to make one of those one day.’
As an actor I have no hang-ups whatsoever about cinema. It can be mainstream, art, regional or national.
A spy, like a writer, lives outside the mainstream population. He steals his experience through bribes and reconstructs it.
I think that Christians should have confidence, we have always been part of the mainstream conversation, and if we don’t join in often what you hear gets hectoring and mad, just people on the margins.
Working in independent cinema is far more frustrating than mainstream because it is difficult to get money to make such films.
I was this classic film school snob who thought mainstream cinema was synonymous with bad cinema.
The advent of the Internet exposed the fact that the old business model for newspapers was broken. The world wide web fundamentally changed the media eco-system, challenging established journalistic practice in what is known as the mainstream media: radio, television, newspapers and magazines.
I think I’m in the majority of Americans. I believe that I am in the mainstream of middle America.
Decentralized consensus technology will reach the mainstream when products are built that both empower consumers to take control of their own data and also offer users great UXs.
I’m working on bridging the gap between mainstream famous and Internet famous. They’re two different things, but eventually, social media will be the way to become a celebrity.
Mainstream cinema exists in most large industries and then there is the alternative cinema which does not follow the conventions of the mainstream movies. But when your film is small and does not have A-listers, then you have a limited budget and it becomes hard to release your film.
I’ve always leaned toward a feminine, funky style, even in business settings. I used to paint my nails blue in 1993, before it was mainstream.
‘Parks and Rec’ is definitely a mainstream show – the group that watches it on TV on Thursday night is small, but the audience that watches it on things like Hulu, Netflix, and Tivo is enormous.
Now that I exist in the mainstream majority, I’m not really so controversial any more, am I? Not really news.
When I was doing mainstream country, there was no way that an executive was going to ask you to do a gospel album.
Just about everything put out by Top Shelf and Drawn & Quarterly and Fantagraphics is what I keep up with. And once in a while, I’ll read the more mainstream comics – I like Grant Morrison’s writing and some of Warren Ellis’ stuff, although maybe they’re more on the fringe of the mainstream.
Radio helps you break into a whole different audience. Radio has so much power. And that’s my mission: to not only break into the EDM audience, but to break also into the mainstream audience.
I will barnstorm American living rooms. Mainstream media will be unable to ignore me, but more importantly they will be unable to overlook the needs of average Americans in the run-up to the 2012 election.
When you never see yourself in the mainstream format, you are stripped of the strength of your identity.
Before I found out what poker really was I had this picture in my mind of men smoking cigars and having all these chips and like going all macho and crazy. I don’t think there’s been that much done in the mainstream community to change that perspective.
I am convinced that this approach, a mainstream Democratic approach, commands the strong support of the American people, and presents a sharp and compassionate contrast to the Republican abortion position which offers no real hope or commitment to mother or child.
Mainstream media can be controlled, right. Because messaging from mainstream comes from that particular news outlet or whatever. Then you have the top people driving that messaging, and then that’s what it is, right? Social media can really stir up a higher level of panic. If you think about it, it’s not controlled.
But I don’t want to be stamped a serious actress. I am a very goofy person, too. I want to do mainstream films.
Even if you have something that you can contribute to society, very often society doesn’t view you that way. Because when you are The Other, the first response by the mainstream, if you will, is to ostracize.
Adam Lambert’s continued success as one of the world’s best-selling pop stars shows LGBT people that they can be themselves and make it in a mainstream industry that many feel unfairly rejects them.
We have seen a major decomposition of French political life, of the old political mainstream parties, and what we see now is a real new configuration which is emerging between the patriots and the new liberals.
I think it would be awesome for us to do collaborations and to try to gel with the mainstream.
I love ‘Seinfeld.’ That was not alternative. You can’t get more in mainstream than that.
I feel lucky that films like ‘Singh is King,’ ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ came my way. They were mainstream films that were different.
Minority ethnic issues need to be mainstream issues.
The poetry and transgression that was so much of surrealism’s anarchic force has been recruited into mainstream culture. It has been made commonplace by television and magazine merchandising, by computer games and Internet visuals, by film and MTV, by the fashion shoot.
Rock in the mainstream culture has lost a lot of its mojo.
To make an absolutely gross generalization, I think a lot of people feel like if you’re mixed, more often than not you’re quote unquote white. So if you’re mixed, you embrace the mainstream culture more than the African-American culture.
A barrier for me – which has been both a strength and a weakness – has been my taste. The kind of things I’m interested in aren’t always mainstream.
