I couldn't have said it better myself, beings as it's hard to define a sellout. ExampleSelling out is kind of irrelevant because if you start out in music not wanting to sell out, people are still going to like you. And when 10,000 people come to indie label shows it gets crowded. So go ahead with the major label if you need room to grow, just don't sell your soul or mangle your music to do it. A 'sellout' probably doesn't give a shit whether you like them or not.sellout có nghĩa làA band who abandons there morals and sells to corporations making music for money rather than because they enjoy it/ they want to get there point accross Examplelook in the charts, anyone who claims to be alternative etc. genrallysellout có nghĩa làselling out is the term used when someone disregards their integrity, self respect, friendship or morals to achieve a shallow personal gain eg. money, popularity, acceptance.
