this thread has gone on for too long and it is getting very redundant

everyone has different opinions on selling out some think that if a band starts gaining a lot of popularity and are starting to headline more and are on more "mainstream" festivals such as ozzfest or something that they have sold out, in my opinion if a band changes their sound and i mean drastically changes their whole attitude and output on the music their making, they start doing it to appeal to a much bigger audience for more profit, however a band can be put on the radio and tv and stuff and not neccessarily sell out, unless of course it's mtv, and yes mtv does suck because they are a corporate telivision broadcasting company that is based on creating profit, they didnt used to be but this is what they have become
now this applies to mainly metal because bands like the white stripes are on mtv and they didnt really sell out, people are just getting more and more into the sort-of prog rock genre that they are
this mainly applies to metal because it is a more intense music than mtv would want to play because they think they would lose viewers that love pop and rap music and bands like evanescence and linkin park (who i must say both suck horribly)
that is why bands that change so they are able to be played on mtv suck and are sellouts
