I wouldn't sell out...The only time I'd make exceptions is if I desperately needed the money.
If I ever started a band, I'd like our music to be enjoyed by -real- music fans, not people who are totally satisfied by whatever's on the Top 40 and little else. D:

I could see myself doing what Talk Talk did. Play radio-friendly tunes at first so I could be on good terms with the label while simultaneously funding the band. Then I could progressively work towards what I want to do.

hopefully I'd sell out every show
due to awesomeness

I don't see how it's possible to consciously sell out. I mean, if I ever end up making music I don't know how I'd be able to completely change my sound and know that I would end up popular because of it.

honestly, "selling out" is an odd concept to me

I want to make music that a lot of people like

If you don't care if your music has appeal to people besides yourself, why go in public and try to foist it on them

Selling out exists but every band has done it if they're selling music for profit, that is what selling out is. So it doesn't matter if you're on Buttf*ck Records you're still a sellout.
