i guess my point is that, the mainstream is something that's hard to comprehend. at what point does an underground cat become mainstream? lil peep and half these guys are soundcloud rappers. they have their own style, but people like x and peep where really on some new shit. can you really consider their music mainstream anyways? the mainstream is something that for me means "boring and tired" but i've learned to give more chances with all music ya know.

just want to make it clear that i think the underground will always, by nature, have the better music. just think of polar ice caps.

Lil peep isn't a mumble rapper if you listen to abunch of his songs he wasn't even a rapper imo he was more so punk.
