Sellow

A very strong, unbothered, and independent boss. Most likely someone who was born with a growth mindset.

A sellow could turn a 5 dollar bill into millions ! And would not think twice about the doubters

sellbag

A sellbag is what you call someone who sells the bag, by either not taking hints from boys/girls, or just choosing wrong decisions.

“How did you not get her number? You are such a sellbag.”

sellout

A band who changes their music to include more poppy parts, to gain popularity. Often confused with "getting famous", "getting better sound" and "writing less heavy music".

Prime example - lostprophets (re-releasing an album that was only 2 years old, to make it more 'accessible')

Bad examples: blink 182 (just got a better sound) incubus (got old and wrote more chilled music) and tool (just became popular without changing anything)

"Selling out is compromising your musical intentions and we don't know how to do that."-Mike Dirnt of Green Day. I couldn't have said it better myself, beings as it's hard to define a sellout.

Selling out is kind of irrelevant because if you start out in music not wanting to sell out, people are still going to like you. And when 10,000 people come to indie label shows it gets crowded. So go ahead with the major label if you need room to grow, just don't sell your soul or mangle your music to do it. A 'sellout' probably doesn't give a shit whether you like them or not.

sellout

A vague but derogatory term blindly used by music "fans" to describe bands who make (or have managers who make) a new lucrative and/or artistically experimental decision (for example: accepting a product endorsement, a change in the band's expected composition style, switching to a larger record label, dressing with more class, speaking out against mass mp3 piracy, etc.) The word is sometimes also applied to bands who simply get more commercial success through no additional effort.

The anger comes from the false belief that fans "own" their favorite entertainers, that these entertainers are thus not real humans with free will, and the feeling of grief when some CD that the listener previously enjoyed alone is now enjoyed by millions of more people.

(Note that "sellout" ONLY applies to those who make a living in the fine arts. For example, a software engineer who accepts a job promotion and higher salary is never branded as a "sellout". Nor is a professional athlete who appears on a box of Wheaties.)

Actual quotes from an old friend:

(1993) "Damnit, Smashing Pumpkins is such an underrated band. They never get played on the radio!"
(1994) "Damnit, Smashing Pumpkins are always on Mtv and the radio now! They're such sellouts."

sellout

Just want to make it clear tat because an artist's song is used in a commercial (like Back in Black}in that shitastic gap jean ad) doesn't mean the band has a soldout. The record company often owns the rights to the song and gives the Advertising Agency the right to use it.

The Gap Sucks!

Sellouts Suck!
