Get the selloutmug. When a band gets too much money and plays music for the money, not their original fans. The band usally also starts playing a different type of music such as pop to appeal to a larger audience. As a result they make more money.
Bands such as Good Charlotte, Fall Out Boy, Green Day, Simple Plan, and many more are sellouts.

Get the selloutmug. When someone makes more money than the person complaining about them. this used to be a term of heavy insult in which one would feel guilty about having money but now holds no weight in the new millenium. To "be paid" or "live comfortably" and not be poor.

George -- "yep thats me.. paid and living comfortable! ...the sellout. no shame in my game baby!" ;)

Get the selloutmug. Some people will claim that using the term 'sellout' for a band they used to like is not being a 'true fan' as you're not listening to the band for the music. This is not true at all because if a band sells out they will change their music (for the worse).
