> Has it occurred to you that nobody talks about sellouts anymore?

It hasn’t occurred to me. Because it never stopped being a thing. Activist turned upstart politician turned career politician? Very likely to be a sellout. There are recent examples. Band which had a distinct, underground style but then went big with a mainstream sound? Well now you get into mind-reading since some bands just change their sound. But “sellout” is a charge that people could levy at them.
