Sell Out

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

(Redirected from Sellout)

It's more likely than you think!

In the world of artistic performance, some performers actually make money off of their performances, or change their craft to better suit a wider audience. When this occurs, the words "sell out!" will surely arise from the souls of many pwned indie fucktards. They are upset because their favorite band may become known by more than four people, therefore becoming uncool.

While this typically applies to musical groups, it can apply to any type of performer or profession.

Warning!:
If you (correctly) tell a Juggalo that the Insane Clown Posse sold out, he will try to fuck you in the ass.

[edit] Examples of Selling Out

Chaim Witz AKA "Gene Simmons" of Kiss, shown whoring his bands image with the Kiss Kasket

Jesus - he resurrected himself from the dead, making him known to millions. Judas was happy he got out when he did, quoted as saying "I knew that fucktard before he went and tried to be God, the bastard."

Hitler - He killed himself before finishing his job and providing his fans with a final lollercaust.

The Who - Sell Out

Metallica - Produced an album that was full of songs that ran 4-5 minutes long with no solos and tuned-down guitars, not the usual 8-12 minute long epic that they used to record.

Megadeth - Band leader Dave Mustaine once claimed that Megadeth was always a "rock" band. Plus he sells his own brand of coffee.

Slayer - Kerry King starts controversy with other other artists when about to put out an album. Also, shoes are sold with the Slayer logo and 95% of all shirts sold from Hot Topic are related to Slayer.

Kreator - Played Death/Thrash Metal in the 80s and started to play industrial metal in the 90s.

EA - Used to make shitty games in the 80s and early 90s. Hit it big with the Madden and is now an unstoppable force in the gaming industry. EA can, and will, buy any game developer and rape its IPs.

Kiss - They sell such crap as branded arm warmers (for cycling), an apron, snow globes, light switches, lip balm, frisbees, Kiss-opoly board game, condoms, and cocktail table. As if that wasn't enough, they even sold their own "Kiss Kasket".

Brad Fitzpatrick - duh.

System of a Down - On their Hypnotize album, Daron Malakian sings about how lonely he becomes after becoming a money-obsessed asshole and having no real friends.

Green Day - After taking the punk rock sound and making it radio friendly in the mid-90s, they pissed off all of their old fans who liked their childish "booger and poop" themed old songs. Which in turn inspired the band to write their famously misinterpreted "Good Riddence (Time of Your Life" song, which was supposed to be a fuck you to the fans who thought they were sell-outs but was misinterpreted as being a break-up song. After their next couple of albums tanked, they actually did sell out via writing poorly written (because satire is about calling everyone an "idiot", amirite?) politically motivated songs about how they hate America and think it is turning into a dictatorship. Yet, they still live in their nice, comfortable, American homes in Beverly Hills.

Linkin Park - Sold out the moment they signed a record deal and became the "punch an emokid" emo Limp Bizkit everyone wished would get AIDS and die.

In Flames - by selling out on day 1 to widen to Hot Topic merchandise from a perfectly okay sound.

The Rasmus - for claiming to be goth rockers, but actually being stupid preps who swim in pools of money.

Slipknot - Sold out when people realized that they stole their entire gimmick from Mushroomhead.

Lamb of God - By turning their wicked metal riffs into mainstream bullshit (*cough* the sacrament album *cough*) with annoying nu-metal screaming that every 13-year-old-boy loves.

W - Do you think he is really interested in your nation?

You - You would do anything for a little cash, wouldn't you? You fucking bastard.

Encyclopedia Dramatica - Fucking ebay ads. Does it sound familiar, ED?

Youtube - They support anti-lulz material on their website (aka featured videos) for money and painful but lovely buttsecks, although some Youtube trolls such as Daniuzumaki and Lonelygirl15 prefer Roman Showers.

Tay Zonday - Made a super-meme thanks to Anonymous and 4chan, but then everyone else started talking about him, and he soon became a corporate whore by allowing himself to be featured in commercials. Anonymous will not be taking this lying down, of course.

Blizzard - ever since they made WoW.

Dan Slott- For agreeing to write Spider-Man after they had Joe Quesada make a deal with Satan to get rid of Mary-Jane Watson, just so JQ could live out his mid-life crisis by making Peter a stupid manwhore who fucks strange women and get herpes...
