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

when a band or something abandons what theyre viewed as and change to a more higher paid stream where they satisfy posers and mainstream jockies and concert invaders who only know 2 or 3 songs claiming to be huge fans
Person 1: Ugh Kings of Leon are such sell outs!
Person 2: Right!, you win a Grammy and get on the radio and then continue with horrible music.
Guy: Hey have you guys heard "Tighten Up" on the radio? I Love The Black Keys, i bet they'll win that grammy.
Person 1 & 2: NOOOOOOO! Not The Black Keys!

I've seen a lot of definitions so far that arent really correct. But quit a few of them are right on point. A sell out is a person or person(s) that change to become more successful . It can also mean to conform to suit someone else.
An unpoppular band that someone likes may call that band a sell out when everyone starts liking them. Often it is these people who sold out when they became popular.
People also concider people such as bands, actors, actresses, and other icons ETC sellouts when they become very successful and popular. It seems the only way people can avoid selling out is to not become successful and unloved by people.
People who call others sellouts never think that these people who are accused of selling out to make money came it said business' to become successful in the first place.
The people who often concider people to be sellouts are often jealous assholes who want what they have.
