There is a kind of people over here called "bogans" they listen to mainstream metal all day, I think people would just call me a Bogan if I played them those bands
Depends who your trying to say, someone who listens to punk for example isn't going to get turned on by some mainstream band they have probably already heard on the radio
There’s nothing wrong with having a big name band as your favorite, they got famous for a reason. I just think those kind of articles are redundant because it’s always the same.
