    Do you consider people who release a lot of music sellouts?

    Just curious. Like Zappa and that Jandek guy who have 40-60 albums a peice.

    no, but artists who purposely change their style too be accepted into the mainstream and make sh*t loads of money are sellouts. i.e Metallica
    Le Desordre, C'est Moi
    Resident Emo Purist/Elitist

    Zappa, sellout

    Does not compute

    my answer is what Lameboy said though
    "A culture's teachings, and most importantly, the nature of its people, achieve definition in conflict."

    No, if they're sticking to what they originally intended to do.

    I only consider artists sellouts if they deliberately change their style to become more popular/mainstream.

    Hahaha, Zappa and Jandek are probably as far from being sellouts as possible.
    Would you pay for music by Beck?
    Maybe.
    What if you heard he owned a plane made of gold?
    Sure.
    Good, because he needs the money.

    Foxy Shazam sold out on their third album, so it's not like amount of music has anything to do with selling out.
    Y'all remind me of my grandsons but they like Ice Cube movies so I can't never speak to them again. Excuse me, I'ma get me some Kool-aid.

    It's not how much you release, it's what you release that makes you a sellout.
