Someone or something that does everything solely for more fame and/or more-than-enough money!.
I believe some sell outs to be (hate bringing it up, but) the Jonas Brothers!. They play off their looks and we're all very aware of that!. I haven't heard ONE SINGLE FAN say they only like their music and/or that they don't think any of the brothers are hott!. The JoBros should be writing more mature lyrics, not some crap like "7 Things I hate About You" or whatever that Miley Cyrus song is called!.
Metallica gets a lot of crap for being a "sell out," but I don't believe they are!. They are entitled to change the way their music sounds seeing as how they have been together for 20+ years and that same anger they had back then is obviously not still going to be there!. It will be different problems, and different reasons for them to write what they do and produce the music they currently are!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Some people don't know the difference between commercial success and being a sell out!. To me selling out refers to compromising and changing the band's sound and music style to gain more money, popularity and be more successful!. Obviously some bands in order to achieve success have sold out, but not every band/musician is like that, like Bruce Springsteen or Led Zeppelin, so I disagree when people claim that a band is a sell out just because they're very popular!. Which bands do I think have sold out!? Sugar Ray, AFI, Linkin Park, Blink 182, just to name a few!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
When they stop making music through personal enjoyment and the only motivation is exploiting their fanbase for money by imitating the style that gained them recognition to begin with!.
I can't think of any!. Metallica are often called sell-outs, but they just ran out of talent; they weren't trying to get tons of money (they already have tons AFAIK)!. Same goes for Marilyn Manson: he turned crap, but he didn't sell out!. He didn't need to!.
Nick Cave is pending for a 'sell-out' accusation, but he doesn't deserve one!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Sell out to me is when a band finally makes it and they become mainstream!. This is hard to hear for most music fans, but all bands on some level or another want to sell out!. They want to reach the fans and if their success is based truly on selling albums while they keep real to who they are!.!.!.then yes, they're selling out!. Selling out used to be a term I applied to lots of bands, but as I've gotten older and wiser, I understand it's a complex thing; that's a lot more about perspective than reality!.
Korn sold out!.!.!.!.but not because they tried to!. Alot of poeple, myself included, were with them from the very early days!. I told my friends about them and they they told people and so on and so forth!. Next thing you know!.!.!.they're everywhere!. Not because they changed their style or cut their hair or started writing jingles for commercials!.!.!.but because people genuinely liked their music!. Can't fault a band for that can you!?
Korn is labeled as sell outs by many in the music world, both fans and critics alike!.!.!.!.but to me they're not!. They're just a band who accomplished what they set out to do and that was make THEIR music and hopefully it would find the fans who liked it!. Turned out there were lots of fans who liked it!Www@Enter-QA@Com
