In the music industry a sell out is someone that only makes music to make money and not cos they like making music (apart from the fact the get money from it)
But then again, there are also idiots label bands as sellouts when they become popular because they are good (i.e KoRn, System of a Down). Just because they become recocnized for their talent, DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE SELLOUTS!!
A term used to describe individuals (usually an ethnic minority) who reject their native cultures and aggressively embrace a dominant culture so they can get delusional notions of "fitting in" or feeling superior
The term has significantly lost some of its meaning because of how Asian men and black women abusively label their respective partners as "sellouts" for dating white people
Asian Guy 1: Carla is the biggest sellout ever; she's going out with a white guy!
Asian Guy 2: Oh yeah? So she also hates her Chinese culture? Refuses to date Chinese men? Belittles Chinese people?
Asian Guy 1: Um no, she's cool about being Chinese but she goes out with white guys
Asian Guy 2: That's not being a sellout; maybe if she did all of the ff. then she would be one
If these wordkid/words were really in it for the wordmusic/word and not the personalities of thier wordclique/words, they would never use the word wordsellout/word.
