Selling Out

A rather obsolete term people use to describe bands that have become more mainstream/commercial, usually after signing to a major label. Of course, just because a band has become more mainstream doesn't mean they've 'sold out'- it just means they have more money to spend on professional recordings, greater exposure, etcetera. And as long as a band does not prioritise money over their artistic vision then they should not be accused of wrongdoing. And the fact is, the majority of people who accuse bands of selling out are just irate at the fact that their music is no longer exclusive to them and the niche audience that they can brag about being a part of. So long as money exists people will always have a reason to accuse a band of being in cahoots with men in black suits. Besides, a lot of landmark albums in specific genres have been released when a band had signed to a major label. A band can't help it if their music appeals to the mainstream, so give them a break. And the only artists who should be accused of selling out are those manufactured by heartless record execs with a fetish for money, not those who set out to be a band and sign to a major to gain greater exposure and the recognition they deserve. At the end of the day, everyone's a sellout anyway: we all support the establishment whether we intend to or not, so don't forget that next time you target another band with the 'selling out' ethos.

Dude 1: God, why are you listening to Green Day? they've totally sold out since signing to Warner Bros. You should listen to the Sex Pistols, at least they're not some commercial wannabe rock band.
Dude 2: You do realise that the Sex Pistols were signed to EMI, Virgin and even Warner Bros. right?
Dude 1: (remains silent)
Dude 2: Exactly... so your 'selling out' arguments a bit naive isn't it?

selling out

Success/fame or any other kind of personal gain at the cost of credibility; and ANYBODY could be a sellout not just a musician/band. There's things that you get naturally and there's things that require selling out to have. And what sucks more is that you can't go back after you did it.

I don't want to name names so I can't give an example of selling out.

Sterling

Sterlings are sarcastic and can come off as extremely annoying but once you get to know them they can be real sweethearts. Sterlings are typically very smart and highly egotistical and outgoing. They don't really care what other people have to say about them and they don't always see the obvious. They are really good at giving gifts and love to eat however maintaining the perfect fitness. Sterling's can be pretty clingy but they never fail to cheer you up when you're down. They are good at complimenting you and making you feel better about yourself. Sterling's will be very successful in life and are often called geeks or nerds in school. You will be very lucky if you end up with a Sterling in your life. He typically commits to a longer relationship and never fails to remind you how much he loves you. Never let a Sterling get out of your life. They are loyal friends and lovely boyfriends.

The Sterlings

1. An extremely rare disease unheard of in the Eastern Hemisphere of the world. Only two cases in the entire world have been diagnosed. Common side effects include: excessive infatuation with Japanese culture, inability to focus or do something at all perceived productive, and an incalculable hatred of water and salad.

When my friend had The Sterlings, he never left the house because he couldn't stop watching Anime porn.

My dad almost died in the desert because he would not drink water because he had The Sterlings.

Man, I felt like I had The Sterlings, I did not finish my homework, i forgot to go to practice, and I played my Nintendo DS until 3AM.
