A term people over-use for when their favorite band/artist/singer undergoes a new sound or style of playing.
Hey, did you hear Bullet For My Valentine's new album? Their a sell-out band now. I don't like the way they made their songs.

A band or musician that allows their music to be used to promote products such as cars, electronics, clothing, etc.
Led Zeppelin are sell outs because they allowed General Motors to use "Rock & Roll" to promote Cadillacs.

Particularly in music when an artist changes his/hers sound so it could appeall more to the masses. The most recent sell out is Bon Jovi. Or when someone snitches on you so they wont have to get in trouble. So they sold you out.
Bon Jovi is a sell out.

The best thing that a band can do to jump start their career. Not even a real word cuz selling out is the greatest thing that was ever invented.
The best thing blink 182 and Metallica did was sell out so they could let everyone hear their music not just these ignorant ass people who are jelous cuz they don't have what it takes to be in a band.

Someone who tries at something, fails misserably, and lets into pop culture so they can have more money.
Bowling for Soup is the biggest sell out. They used to be alternative but things didn't go so great so they decided to be on pop stations, so now they do more things for pop stations than for alternative just because of the money. Fuck sellouts
