"That's because you are around people who use it the wrong way.
If a band produces, let's arbitrarily say, ey, just generic rock.
Then they get bought by a label and start to produce pop or speed metal because that's what the label wants and will earn money, even though that's not their thing, they are selling out."
yes that would be a good example but 98% of the time its cause they get tired of making the same album and make an album in a different style they get called sell outs.
a prime example is Set It Off their EP Horrible Kids and their Album Cinematics are very harder rocky and have lots of strings.
Their album Duality which came after Cinematics is more pop-rock and the strings take a back seat and its focused more on the melodies and writing of the instrumental.
But a big portion of their fanbase got mad and called them sell outs. simply cause they switched sounds. |
