Sell Out

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.

See jealousy
The black eyes peas were concidered sell outs after changing one of their songs from "Lets Get Retarted" to "Lets get it Started" to fit the wants of their record lable and whinney bitches who felt offended.

sell out

Used by kids who want to sound "hardcore" when a band they like gets popular. Suddenly the band sucks because they're popular, so how the fuck did they got popular in the first place if they suck.
Dude, like Good Charlotte so sold out by going to MTV.

sell out

The stupidest word ever created. Meant to describe a band that suddenly got popular. Suddenly, that band's music isn't good anymore, because they're too popular. Never to be used unless you want to sound like a moron who has no idea what you're talking about.
Oh my god, Green Day are such sell outs, and I'm a complete idiot who lives in my mom's basement.

sell out

People who jump on the bandwagon. Who listen to a song on the radio, decide they like it, and then suddenly call themselves punk. Where were you ten years ago, when we were skating around listening to punk rock. As i recall, you told us that our music s*#ked. One who can't think for themselves.
Punk Rock is dead, you F#*king Sell Out.

the truth is..... all your definitions are wrong... you have to realize the difference between capitalism and selling out... selling out would be a punk band who says " fuck the man" then in 5 years goes and works for " the man" that is selling out.... 50 cent coming from the hood to making clothes and drinks and films with gunit in it is capitalism... that is making money by any which way you want and not having any limits. so you take advantage of that privliage and make your mother fucking money ....

get your mother fucking cake up and stop hating on people who are gettin thier cake up.... and by the way green day sucks period they have bad music regaurdless.
