uber-sellouts

Bands like fall out boy are classified as uber sell outs, some people are really to dumb to understand that unless your rich and have nothing better to do, people start bands to make some money and get their music heard, just because you have a record come out on a major label, doesn't make you a sell out, but when you supposed to be say pop-punk and you do ad's for aeropostale, (like fall out boy did) that is a true sellout. Bands like avenged sevenfold and something corporate are not sellout because they are on a major label, they have good enough music to get heard.

fall out boy and panic at the disco are uber-sellouts who have no musical talent!!

sellout 

In the words of zefrank, a sellout "doesn't have to do with actually having money, it has to do with the perception that your pursuit of popularity and potentially making money has caused you to sacrifice your core values."

zefrank1: Shit what can I do?
zefrank2: Well you could pretend nothing was happening.
zefrank1:OK I'll do that!
zefrank2: Well you just screwed that up.
zefrank1:Oh yeah. Crap.
zefrank2: It's too late now but you could have started out with a transparent agenda to become rich, then if it happened they'd call you a genius, not a sellout.
zefrank1: Dammit! Well why don't I take a poll and see what the community wants me to do?
zefrank2: That's called pandering to the audience, that's even worse than selling out.

sellout 

selling out is the term used when someone disregards their integrity, self respect, friendship or morals to achieve a shallow personal gain eg. money, popularity, acceptance.
unfortunately it has losts its meaning as it has been thrown aroung lightly eg. " i liked them (some band) until they sold 1 million records a damn sell outs".
One can only sellout if they had sumething to sell out to begin with. Girls aloud cannot sellout as they were intentionaly a money making outfit from their creation.
