I don't think I agree with this general definition here. When I think "sell out", I don't think of someone who blew up out of popularity. Most of the time, they have no choice over that, so its not fair to them and it makes the
labeler look like a hater. Plus, what if that was their goal right from the beginning? You're basically chastising them for having hopes and dreams.
When I think of
a sell out, I think of someone who vehemently spoke out against something or people who did something but later turns around and does the same thing. That is also a hypocrite.
There's nothing wrong with wanting do really well for yourselves. Like I said before some of these people had no choice and if you care for the actor, band, etc. you would be glad their talent got them where they are. I mean, we all have dreams, and we all gotta eat and
fend for ourselves. If you have a talent,
by all means flaunt it.
And trust me, I know how bad it feels when stupid people get a hold of your favorite band,
but again that's
not the band's fault and there will ALWAYS be a stupid bunch a group, period. No other way around it.
But when people actually talk about how stupid someone is, or how wrong one profession is, then later decides that they want to be in that profession or be that person's friend, that's when I have a problem. That's not attractive, at all. That's trifling,
wishy washy, and fake.
Sally: What is that what Jack is wearing?
Jan: Oh, those are his new
Prada loafers, don't they look nice?
Sally: That fucking sell out, he was just telling me a few months ago how he hated designer labels because the methods they used to make their products.
Sally: Wow,
what a dick.
