sell outs

According to the metal community, any band that gains the tinyest amount of fame is considered selling out.

So in short, listen to what you like and don't tell anyone else what they think is good music or not.
Dumbass: Omg I hate Dragonforce cuz they sold out and now they are popular and I am dumbass who can't derive my own taste in music lolroflz.

Me: What the shit? You need other people to tell you what sell outs are? That's pretty sad. Just listen to whatever pleases your ears you dumb fuck and shut up about it.

Sell outs

The act of changing yourself, your intrests, or everything about you to fit the majority. This can be applied to alot of things. Such as a good friend leaving you out to dry for personnal gains, or a music group changing their own style to sell records.

To abandon what is really you just so you can be "cool" in the eyes of everyone else.
My friends (sell outs): Hey lets go dress up in pink Polos and short khaki shorts and sperries and spend all our money on crown royal and take Daddy's BMW and go hang out with all those real rich preppy kids from school so we can be awesome and just maybe get laid from a couple of town bikes

Me: Have fun

uber-sellouts

Bands like fall out boy are classified as uber sell outs, some people are really to dumb to understand that unless your rich and have nothing better to do, people start bands to make some money and get their music heard, just because you have a record come out on a major label, doesn't make you a sell out, but when you supposed to be say pop-punk and you do ad's for aeropostale, (like fall out boy did) that is a true sellout. Bands like avenged sevenfold and something corporate are not sellout because they are on a major label, they have good enough music to get heard.
fall out boy and panic at the disco are uber-sellouts who have no musical talent!!
