I think the soda and wine thing it totally the other way around. I mean soda is mass produced & wine is rare. Therefore, "mainstream" is the soda & "indie" is the wine. One can of Coke will always tastes exactly the same as the next can of Coke. Do billions of people enjoy Coke? Yes! And, they'll always buy Coke, 'cause they know what they're getting. How many times have they change the recipe of Coke? If I buy Coke today, I know what it's gonna tastes like. If I buy a bottle of wine today and don't like it... it doesn't mean I'm gonna stop drinking wine... 'cause I know each bottle of wine is completely different and I might enjoy the next bottle of wine that I try. Listening to half a dozen Indie bands and categorically stating they don't have what it takes to be recognised, is like pouring a bottle of wine down the sink before even tasting it.

I'm gonna print this discussion, frame it, and put it in a time capsule. This graduated into such a prized tchotchke (I think that might be an oxymoron, but whatever) at this point. Like Edison's recording of Mary Had a Little Lamb onto phonograph. Only not as profound as that, of course.

I'm pretty sarcastic in person as well. Forums are usually the only place to have regular debates. I don't think topics like this come up often during gatherings. Otherwise, you'd have people lunging to choke one another. Haha...
