The psytrance scene is becoming more fragmented, with a mainstream and an underground inside it.

Also, between all counterculture scene's (raggae, goth, metal, ska, other kinds of rock) psytrance is still one of the smallest scenes.

well.. proggie/minimal are VERY mainstream in israel - so naturally trance parties are more mainstream, but theres still an underground side to things - but if you take in account all of trance's genres, you could say it is pretty much mainstream here

The psytrance scene has been über mainstream since the early 90's where some unnamed artists decided to go from underground to stars on stage. Furthermore the psytrance scene became commercial when the scene put itself into the (greedy)hands of the Fashion Industry. "Psy clothes (Or wannabe hippie clothes)" and the music became popular at Fashion shows in the mid 90's and (no)thanks to some DJs and artists it was exploited heavily.
Soon after Big labels and household DJs and producers smelled £ (pound - not dollars in this case) and took psytrance to a new commercial level backed by Big corporation money.
Today it's even more evident that it's a waste of time to debate if the scene is commercial or not.

Anything can be non mainstream and within the psytrance scene there is indeed non mainstream music and parties. BUT the overall public "face" of the psytrance scene is commercialized with huge Festivals, big artist fees (for the big names), corporate money involved etc.
