"Selling out" implies that one has abandoned the values and morals they claimed to believe in order to gain something more superficial. In the sense of a band, it means they changed their sound/ethics to make more money. Anti-Flag sold out. But I don't get why the aforementioned bands "sold out" since they never showed even the slightest evidence of ethics or integrity? __________________ alive and well, i live to be alive, i live to always strive for something more.
