sellout

"Selling out is compromising your musical intentions and we don't know how to do that."-Mike Dirnt of Green Day. I couldn't have said it better myself, beings as it's hard to define a sellout.

Selling out is kind of irrelevant because if you start out in music not wanting to sell out, people are still going to like you. And when 10,000 people come to indie label shows it gets crowded. So go ahead with the major label if you need room to grow, just don't sell your soul or mangle your music to do it. A 'sellout' probably doesn't give a shit whether you like them or not.
