Get the Sell Out mug.
A band that betrays their original purpose for making music in order to make more money. MTV happens to be the cause of most sell outs, making bands worry about their music videos and wether or not they can get them on MTV. A sell out band has to have 3 things happened.
1.)Complete change in style of music
2.)Aired on MTV every day
3.)ALL ABOUT THE MONEY

One who absconds their heart and soul just to get cold hard cash, only to end up lower and even more poor than before when they blow it all on useless stuff and hookers.
Tyson...the fool blew about $2 million on pet tigers when he could have paid for someone's college education.

someone who says something, but does the other.
for instance, jessica simpson- she says that she would never go on a low-carb diet and loves her curves, yet is shown on the cover of us weekly with a bikini showing her ribs. she says she promotes loving her body but does the opposite

A sell out is someone who is in it for the money and possibly to get laid alot. Bands that are punbk usualy are sell outs like
Good chaoletter Blink 182. and the same goes with pop rock bands like the jonas brothers fall out boy and MCR. Some people think that the biggest thrash band in the world sold out but really they didnt
MetallicA never sold out, Cliff Burton and James Hetfeild said " We do what we want to do if people consider that selling out than what ever, 'cause alot of people think you sold out because your on a major label, or you don't play a thousand miles per hour, you know we'd be doing the same thing on a indapendent label." see they aren't sell outs R.I.P.
