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.

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.
