I Mean, In the Beginning of Every Sentence?

I mean, over the years I've resisted the popular catch word or phrase like cool, wicked and Bucket List because I despise conformity.

I mean, for a while every response to any question or comment during any interview began, 'Yes," even if the answer was eventually, "No."  I mean, I mean is today's popular verbal tic, drives me nuts.

I mean expresses what, exactly?  If an idea was expressed in some obscure manner, I mean would make sense if then followed by a literal translation.  I mean, to put unnecessary words at the beginning of a sentence seems to differentiate between the times we didn't want to know what they mean?
