Punk's always dipped in and out of the mainstream look at The Clash or Sex Pistols you don't much more mainstream recognition than that.
I don't really consider any of those bands to be mainstream at all. I guess by mainstream, I'm thinking pop. The Clash is probably the closest of those you named. But none were ever in the mainstream like Green Day. Dookie was freakin' huge. It sold like 11 million copies. London Calling sold around 2million.

I like heaps of popular stuff just not lame shit like you're into.

Hahaha. That's pretty funny. We probably have some similar tastes, they just never seem to come up in discussion.
