A band has “sold out” when their fans no longer get feel like part of an elite clique. This generally happens when a band attracts interest from a major label, who provides them with a higher recording budget, which results in just enough polish to make the band acceptable to a slightly wider audience; unfortunately, the better production generally reveals the band’s basic lack of musical talent, which hipsters could previously not see because it was hidden behind a blurry cloud of “lo-fi.”. What hipsters once assumed were “fractured pop songs” are revealed to simply be “bad pop songs,” and the hipsters aren’t smart enough to figure out why their favorite band suddenly seems to suck way more than before, so they blame it on “commercial production” and this mysterious and ephemeral force of “selling out.”

Get the selling out mug.The concluding exclamation in a conversation or argument whereby one person's fact, argument point or humiliating revelation will be proven untrue or ridiculous, rendering them in a state of embarrassment.
It can be also used as closure in an exchange of purposely misleading information solely to provoke gullibility.
The derivation comes from the phrase, having 'egg on your face' meaning to suffer embarrassment. Shell, would indicate ultimate embarrassment; having the egg AND the shell on your face, eventually being shortened to just Shell.
Also, Get your Shells, Get Your Shellings, Shellings and Shell on you.
The past tense would be Shelled or Shelled out.
This phrase is commonly used in South Manchester, UK
