Why do people call bands like Fall Out Boy and Good charlotte "Sellouts"?
"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?

I don't really think that they are sell-outs at all, I just think they are horrible horrible bands

When someone says 'Fall Out Boy' sold out what they actually mean is 'Two years ago they were my favourite band and now I realise how shit they really are & now I have to say something to save face , so if I say they sold out it means I can get away with liking their early stuff , even though that stuff is just as bad as what they are doing now'.
You can look it up in the dictionary under 'Green Day effect , The'
