Conor Oberst has made many music videos and albums (including compositions, 7", and cassettes), rivals the mainstream, and has been #2 (and maybe #1) a lot of times, played on tv, and sells albums worldwide (or at least in a few other countries). So far, it seems like no one knows about him at the schools I've been to. Why is this? If he is so famous, why isn't he known that well?

'Cos he's mainly well known amongst music journalists!
Two words: Big Star.
The really great are rarely given recognition in their time and only serve to fill the pages of music magazines 20 yrs after they fall from the radar...

So far he hasn't been arrested for drunken driving or been photographed without underwear. He has some catching up to do if he wants to be a celebrity.

He isn't mainstream, but yeah, he is a great songwriter and singer.

Why is it that your question makes no sense? Look up famous in the dictionary. And listen to some good music.

its called slanted advertising, makes you think something is the coolest thing ever (example snakes on a plane) when no one has any idea what it is
or it could be that all his songs sound nazzly and similar.
