Im kinda sick of how people will label a popular artist or group sell-outs so quickly so I wanna know. What really defines a sell-out????

there is another thread on this subject
bands sell out when they try to be what they used to be a long time ago by changing their style. and when younger people start to listen to them only because they like they are now commercial.

When they change their sound to get money.

I hate it when people use the term 'sell out'

Stop crying when your favourite band actually sells some records & go & find other bands instead of whining 'they sold out'.

Sell out is when a band sells all the tickets for their show. That is all.

I dont necessarily think they are whining. I think that people get pissed off when a good band sells out.

Bands have a limited shelf life, after a while they run out of ideas. Or they get older & lose their edge. I think very few bands actually sell out as such.
