Compromising your integrity, usually for money. Its that simple. This word is mostly used to describe bands that go mainstream.
Green Day aren't sellouts because despite their recent popularity, they never changed their sound. They were just never very good...

1. A band that changes it's style for stupid teenybopper girls and getting more money, even though they already have tons of it.
2. A word used by teenaged wannabe goths/punks to sound hardcore. Those people usually come up with bullshit reasons like "WE DON'T WANT TO CONFORM TO SOCIETY" and say "THEY BECAME POPULAR AND STARTED TO SUCK".

1. what happens when "person A" listens to an unpopular band to set themselves apart from the crowd, then that band becomes popular and all the people that "person A" hates (usually from school) enjoy that band too. because of this "person A" will get angry at their band and say they are sell outs.
2. when "person A" goes to the grocery store looking for an item and it is not in stock.

A sellout in General is anyone who changes from who they originally are to another way of life for the wrong reasons. Or ill motives. But deep inside they want to be what they were born to be, but compromise themselves, Their ideas and character for something that they are not to.... please someone they want to impress.
Tammy J Harass is a sell out for putting down and slandering her own race of people. Just because she got many fans that are not her own race; She bows to them by bashing her own race to please them & for Profit
