Never did I mention that a band had to have mainstream popularity to create good music, although in the past, popularity went hand in hand with the music that was created.
Furthermore, I mentioned specific uses in film and TV. We find instances of music from the 60's, 70's & 80's still permeating the airwaves, with countless placements in film, television and advertising to this day.
The point I made was that I don't think that in 20 years, the same will happen with music from this decade. It's rare to hear music from the 90's and I think that it'll be the same with this decade.

I agree that we won't see an awful lot of music from the '00s in movies or TV in 20 years. Much of what does will be hip hop. But I don't see what that point has to do with my claim that there are good, valuable bands making music these days. Albums from Agalloch or TV on the Radio are going to be looked at as all-time classics by critics and serious music aficionados. There's so much wonderful music out there. It is rarely mainstream viable but that doesn't in any way mean that it isn't good or artistically valuable.
Rhetorically you absolutely did say that good music is mainstream music (insofar as one can agree that music played on radio/applicable future format in 20 years will be apart of the mainstream). You used that point to disagree with my assertion that the '00s had "good, valuable" music that came from it.
