Sellout!
I posted this on my quizilla journal...
so I'm posting here too.
So lately I've been seeing a lot of talk about sell outs.
I just have to say that I am sick and tired of people calling Paramore, TAI, ATL ect. sell outs. Who gives a shit if they were on TRL. They diserve every bit of attention they get, they are all extremly taletned. Just because your favorite band made and 5 minuet or less appearance on TRL does not make them sell outs. They are still the same band started listing to 3-4 years ago. They haven't changed their music to fit the MTV image, they haven't changed anything for money. THEY ARE NOT SELL OUTS!.
Coheed and Cambria were on TRL. They are still as amazing as ever.
Hellogoodbye were on TRL. Need I say more?
Cobra Starship were also on TRL.
Avenged Sevenfold were on TRL. Never thought I'd see that say coming.
You want to know who are sell outs...
Good Charlotte. [no offense to you GC fans, this is purely my opinion]
I used to loveeeee GC. Then when I bought the chronicles of life and death I thought "Where has my favorite band gone?" That album gone in a completely different direction...and not in a good way. It had horrible pop beats, like the song where they dressed up as food for the video, what the fuck? That wasn't the GC that I fell in love with. They totally changed their image and sound to fit MTV.
They are a prime example of sell outs.
Take a look at the song Life Styles of the Rich and Famous.
& take a look at that stupid song I Don't wanna Be in Love
Need I say more?
& I can't believe that people were calling All Time Low sell outs for have their video on TRL for less than 30 seconds. ATL didn't even know it was going to be on there. Someone requested it. ATL haven't been on MTV since. Get the fuck over it.
Okay. I'm done.
I feel better.

I do appreciate you greatly for writing this.
I'm glad that finally someone else understands the whole concept of "selling out" exactly the same way as I do!

I always thought selling out is both good and bad.
Good in the sense that they're becoming successful by doing what they love, and the fact that it reveals who their true fans are - out of the veterans, I mean.
Bad in the sense that some of the true fans aren't able to go to their shows unless they buy tickets really early.

If you wanna get technical ... everyone that is on tv at ALL is a sell-out in the indie world. ^_-

Selling out is actually really good for the bands.
I don't really get it, once someone's favorite band is successful they don't like them anymore?
I've never felt that way before.
