päävirroissa

Päävirroissa is a Finnish term that translates to "in the main currents" or "in the mainstream." It is often used in a figurative sense to describe being involved in or influenced by the dominant trends, ideas, or activities of a particular field, society, or time.

In discussions about culture or art, "päävirroissa" can refer to artists, writers, or musicians whose work aligns with or contributes to the prevailing aesthetic or thematic concerns of their era. Conversely, something described as being outside of "päävirroissa" would be considered niche, avant-garde, or unconventional.

In a broader societal context, "päävirroissa" might describe individuals or groups who participate in mainstream politics, economics, or social movements. It can imply conformity to established norms or a position of influence within the dominant structures. The term is neutral and can be applied positively or negatively depending on the speaker's perspective. Being "päävirroissa" is not inherently good or bad, but rather a description of one's position relative to prevailing trends.
