Get the sellout mug.
The term 'sellout' has been around for a few generations. Often used as a negative term used to describe somebody that conforms to a particular way of doing something such a dress, vernacular, or type of work.
Recently it has been used in the indy music scene to a large extent since the explosion of ska, punk, hardcore, and indy rock.
One earns the label of sellout by alienating their core fans that have supported the band by changing their style to be more appealing to a broader audience, often become what they were rebeling against in the very beginning. While some may call this "evolution of the artist/music" one has to remember that evolution is a gradual change and not sudden and drastic, the losing of edge, and doesn't accompany a bigger record label.
While many bands out there refuse to be labeled as sellouts, they are often putting out records and being quoted as saying "This is more true to our core sound, where we started".

"The (fictional band name) use to be hardcore, but they totally changed styles and now they play them on Mtv"

Get the sellout mug.1) A goat that prefers to swim in the water with flippers, snorkel, scuba mask and wet suit over living on the farm.
2) A hideously unattractive woman who's residence is either above a dive bar, or in the dive bar itself; seagoats are often accompanied by warts, missing/blackened teeth, flabby and greasy skin, drip drop tits, and a pussy that would cause a man to contemplate suicide if he were to view it

After seeing the drunk seagoat sprawled out naked on the bathroom floor, Ted decided at that moment that it was time to die.
