I hardly think that if a band is popular that they have "sold out". They are just successful at what they do. If someone gets a promotion at their job (other than a band), do we call it selling out? Its the same way for bands, when they get popular, they are getting a promotion. Now maybe along the way, they "sold out", but I have a hard time thinking that every popular and semi-popular band has sold themselves out. Stop hating on every band you dislike. If you dont like them for whatever reason, don't listen to them. You have a choice. But just because you dislike them, it gives you no reason to tear them down as people, or as musicians.
i wouldnt waste you time explaining how much of a derogative and useless term "selling out" is. nobody listens.

so your beloved bright eyes must be a sell out.
conor was in teen people and teen vogue. god forbid any "trendy" people start listening to him. oh man MCR is on MTV with TBS OMG OMG OMG!
that doesnt mean their music is automatically bad and you have to stop listening to them.
i have been listening to from first to last ever since they were a florida local band. i used to hang out with sonny at the skatepark. but do you think when i saw their faces all over lj icons and their cd's on the front rack at best buy that i HAD to stop listening to them.
no i could care less who the hell listens to them or if hot topic sells their shirts, they still make good music nonetheless.
and thats the same with any of these bands.
they are good musicians. i mean they have talent .
if they didnt they wouldnt have sold all of the records that they did.

i agree. and i rarely agree with people who have 3 post because, yes, i am an elitist snob. but you are absolutly right

and falling_forever, TBS have never been emo. its pop. doesn't mean its not bad just not emo. listen to The Kodan Armada
