When the band Metallica became less metal. They were influenced by the 90's grunge era and their music lost it's metal edge. Their music became very commercial. Many metal fans abandoned them.
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.
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
