According to the top definition on urbandictionary.com, a sell-out is:


1. When an artist conforms to the way record labels, managers, etc see them to make money through commercial success and generally not the original fan base.

2. When an artist conforms to the way they believe their fan base see's them.

3. When an artist gets too big for their own good, and believe that they are god(s) and can do anything they want.

4. When an artist changes their play style to make more money

5. An artist which no longer does it for the fans

All depends on perspective, though.

*beep* perspective, the only reason Green Day is called sell-outs is because the bastard haters can't find anything else to call them. Like saying its pop. What the *beep* Is pop a bad word, now?

I love you all.

Well, yeah, Green Day ARE pop, cos it means popular music, and Green Day are popular. Get over it, all you sad people who complain too much! (not aimed at anyone in particular, just the generic group of people who always accuse bands of selling out!)

Freaking street punks who get all cry baby pissed when Green Day actually got popular.
