Mainstream things that you enjoy

[Lums23]

In a way I like mainstream music. I listen to metal, but prefer the mainstream metal bands like Slipknot, Rammstein and Disturbed, etc. Not mainstream as such, but invokes an eye roll from "real" metalheads because of their popularity.

I like the Big Bang Theory.
I drink Hahn Super Dry.
I like Marvel movies.
I live in SA and barrack for the Crows.
I like McDonalds, KFC and Pizza Hut.

Nothing wrong with drinking Hahn Super Dry. It's one of tbe best of the dry Australian beers and always seems to be on special

So is Apple mainstream or not?

Years ago they just made computers, and people who used Apple and not the generic Windows/IBM etc. stuff were always a bit off.

Then they made the iMac, and iPod, iPhone, iPad, Macbook etc.

Go into any JB Hifi or whatever and one of the first displays you see is the Apple stand. They are pretty commonplace even if Windows is still the preferred operating system and Android smartphones may outsell the iPhone.

As far as phones go, iPhones are definitely mainstream. Obsolete tech now but iPods definitely were too.

The computers are probably still arguable. They don't have the market penetration to be mainstream, but are not rare enough to be niche anymore. Working at a computer repair shop, Mac users love to think they're part of some big secret, yet at the same time will tell literally anyone who'll listen.

I do all the things mentioned so far in this thread. But I do them all ironically.

I still use my ipod. Don't have any music on my phone.

When my 2007 iPod finally died last year, I bought a new one. I don't have a phone big enough to carry all the music I like to have on my iPod.

My iPod classic 160GB is still hanging in there. Going to be a bummer when it dies as you can't get them any more, only the touch ones which have less functionality.

I do have some music on my phone as well.

I ended up getting mine fixed when I dropped mine and stuffed up the display last year.

I like generic Aussie beers. And thongs and stubbies and tank tops.

I like football and V8 cars.

But mostly its the beers.

I was drinking Great Northern at the local speedway last night.

Was cheap and done the job.

I love my four IPods. What's superceded them?

My 32gb Touch version is my precious.

having music on your phone rather than a separate device

Ah. Eats up battery and the speaker sucks balls.

My iPod Touch has 60GB of space, my phone half that. To have a phone that would carry the amount of music I want would be ridiculously expensive.

I guess most people use streaming apps like Spotify/Apple Music these days and only save a select portion of music to their phone, so that much storage for music is unnecessary.

Ah, I suppose. I'm on a month to month contract and don't have the data for streaming when I'm not at home.

 

[edgie]

Also, can't stream where there's no network

Get a phone with a micro SD slot

Get a phone with a micro SD slot

That has been suggested by a more phone/tech savvy friend. Would also break the hold Apple has on me.

I convert and watch a crapload of videos like burnt moviees, comedy DVDs and the occasional season of a show. So... heh.

Virtually any Android phone + $30 64GB MicroSD card =

My phone is an Android. It is not my preferred media player.

They're also fragile little princesses.

I find slim women featured in magazines etc. attractive.

Cant stand stick figures. Women are meant to have curves. Thats the factory finish.
Models are skinny because the designers are gay (not that theres anything wrong with that)and skinny women look like little boys.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Are you saying designers are pedophiles?

It's more to to with just how the clothes hang and fit. It's easier to have a 'blank canvas' for want of a better term.
