When he claims that the mainstream is a myth, he is talking about how difficult it is to actually MAKE a mainstream. The mainstream is also difficult to define, which is one reason why it is a myth. There are many different "mainstream's" per se, because there are many different people. This is probably the biggest reason it is a myth- because there is nothing that the myth itself can be based off of.
Seeing as he didn't explain his reasoning for very long about the myth topic, I can't say that he backed up his reasoning very well, and he didn't really provide his definition of what mainstream is (seeing as there ISN'T really a mainstream), I can't say that was extremely persuasive.
As I said before, I can't really define mainstream. I guess it would be the fashion and celebrity bombs that hit the TV and magazines.

I agree. THe problem with calling something mainstream is the fact that it is extremely hard to define. I had a hard time defining mainsteam as well. HOWEVER, i did manage to define it.... so I say to you, nice cop out
