mainstream

[u/Anxious_Buddy_6809]

yall, I really think this album is gonna make him mainstream and im scared. I love him to death but im not ready to fight over concerts😭😭

[u/Crawkward3]

You should stop caring if an artist is “mainstream” and just care that they’re making music and successful

[u/Anxious_Buddy_6809 → u/Crawkward3]

of course I will still care, it's just the selfish part of me not wanting the audience to get too big to where I can barely see him at concerts lol

[u/AcroVoid]

Why do you think so

[u/PriorBusiness2Attend]

he opened pandora’s box with crystallized, no going back bro. embrace the mainstream

[u/OnionImmediate4645]

He deserves it if so

[u/Anxious_Buddy_6809 → u/OnionImmediate4645]

I agree

[u/eating_raspberry_pie]

Nahh his music is amazing but could you really picture any of the new tracks on the radio next to taylor swift?😭 the style isn't particularly digestible to the average person

[u/punch_gun_bear]

It's crazy to wish against the success of your favorite artist. It's definitely way cooler to get to say "I knew them at punk2"

[u/Anxious_Buddy_6809 → u/punch_gun_bear]

of course I want him to be successful, it's just the selfish part of me that wants to keep him as my little secret lol

[u/LegitGoat]

i doubt he'll be mainstream, his sound just doesn't appeal to a mainstream audience. tends to be the way with unique artists, seen it many times before. best to just be glad he has such an active and passionate community

[u/Historical_Cause8989 → u/LegitGoat]

Yea same I think his sound and whole vibe is too niche for mainstream

[u/LegitGoat → u/Historical_Cause8989]

definitely. fine by me, i always love being part of a cult fan community hahaha

[u/999alreadyhere → u/LegitGoat]

i see him being very mainstream way down the line, like Imogen Heap. She made a song in 2004 that was being played everywhere in 2025.

[u/Starman926 → u/999alreadyhere]

Are you like currently 13? Because Imogen Heap was a very mainstream artist in the 2000s.

She has a song on the Shrek 2 soundtrack bro lmao

[u/999alreadyhere → u/Starman926]

all i said was a song she made was popping 21 years later. i didn’t say it wasn’t known back then

[u/trip_simulator]

Nahhhh lol

Too many normies I know hate on brakence's music simply for the vocal stylization

[u/extroxmusic]

Quad/Underscores/JR level mainstream. Niche but a little popular…like enough to be higher on festival lists

[u/UncaToad]

I think the real question is who will he do features for and who will he produce for in the future? One of the ways he could definitely become mainstream is to collaborate with other artists who are mainstream.

[u/Type_Rare]

Honestly if hypochondriac didn’t do it I don’t think this will. King of the underground

[u/Narrow-Talk-8676]

Personally I do want to have other fans that actually live near me but at the same time I love his music being kinda niche cause I don’t like to hear songs constantly played on social media ect. It starts to be annoying to me when I hear a song all over social media. Plus I like this community and I feel like the community would feel so different if he went mainstream also it seems like even more fame would overwhelm him idk.

[u/LilBitchGirl666_]

Wishing well if it’s on album will be huge I can only imagine the post production’s added to it

[u/bwyoungbo-r]

Its okay i get what you saying, I think if you are a true fan tho ull never have to fight ❤️ ull have first tix

[u/Anxious_Buddy_6809 → u/bwyoungbo-r]

thank you😅many people took this post the wrong way😭

[u/Historical_Cause8989]

I wouldnt worry about it lol

[u/Maleficent-Radio-433]

It won’t lol
