Selling Out !?

what is selling out

[wobbles]

Selling out doesn't exist. Artists that become passionate about their music and and want to share it with everyone while it maintains some commerciality, will eventually come across an opportunity either through their own effort, or by another entity to monetize off of this. If they end up becoming a common name, and are always seen on differnt charts, people tend to say they've SOLD OUT. If they do a commercial, or make their own tv show people react the same way.

Each creative artist has his own method of expressing his ideas (music, art, film, writing, etc.) and may eventually lose interest in one and move on to another. Change is exciting, and is natural to have a crave for it in certain people. That's why a lot of musicians segway into other sectors of the entertainment industry.

If you are one to think an artist is selling out, then do not look at commercial media platforms for discovering artists and support independant artist by helping them continue their passion by them making enough money to be able to do it full-time, to constantly supply you with music. If you want to see more music from an artist you love but fear the possibility of them going "mainstream", then buy the music, subscripe to their membership pages, sign up to their email lists, buy their merchandise, go to their shows, and help spread the word about them. If you are their #1 promoter or a source of bringing them revenue, consider learning about management and work on becoming their manager. Then make sure they avoid all avenues that would cause them to lose their loyal fans that might consider them "sell outs" (even though it can hinder their careers with all the competition).

What is chat breezing?

I just don't think artists sell out. Eventually they may lose creativity, or push albums out with less inspiration and effort than a previous one.

At what point would you consider someone selling out?

It's a shit situation to be in, if you change your style that fans enjoy to something unexpected, you are either labeled a sell out for doing something different, an asshole for doing something different, or just a straight up tnuc for not 'doing it for the fans'. Fuck that. What if you did it because you just straight up want to make different music that represents something to you?

proof that selling out exists

[Marcus]

Of course it exists artists change their style in the aim to gain more fans & money it's the far more common in the rock scene.
Skream has partly sold out such as his sets and new music is targeted at a difference audience but at least he still makes decent music on the side.

I don't get this either. If people can make money out of doing what they love, making music, then who am i to judge. Just wish i could be in a similar position

[Figment]

Incnic is back
He sold out.

But really, selling out does exist, but it definitely comes at a cost, at the end of the day it's the artists choice, I don't make music for money, I make music because it's what I enjoy doing, if I make money I do, If I don't but I and maybe others enjoy the music I make, the selection of tunes to mix, then im a happy man.

lol this is brilliant

I'm gonna become an artist manager and force them to ONLY MAKE MUSIC I LIKE. After all, that is the only way to truly ensure good music is going to be made.
