Why does "indie cred" redirect here? --[[User:JohnnyLurg|JohnnyLurg]] ([[User talk:JohnnyLurg|talk]]) 02:10, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

== Improvements to Make ==

This entry is irrelevant and uninformative. It should be framed by the context that "selling out" was a term that gained traction in popular culture during the 1990s due to a widespread anxiety of authenticity. It should be noted that toward the end of the decade the idea started to lose value and it became more difficult to cite as a legitimate criticism against an artist. While the examples here are factual they don't really illuminate the issue. There should be a section on Fugazi's refusal to put barcodes on their records and Pearl Jam's lawsuit against Ticketmaster. There should be a definite distinction made between"selling out" and the factors an artist must face in light of a quick rise in popularity. Selling out seems to be a specific cultural phenomenon whereas the relationship a popular artist has with her art, her fans and her critics is a more general concern.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/75.83.151.87|75.83.151.87]] ([[User talk:75.83.151.87|talk]]) 21:41, 9 May 2012 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Why does the entry focus exclusively on the entertainment industry?  That's kind of weird.  --[[Special:Contributions/2600:6C65:747F:CD3F:6437:95E7:50E3:76|2600:6C65:747F:CD3F:6437:95E7:50E3:76]] ([[User talk:2600:6C65:747F:CD3F:6437:95E7:50E3:76|talk]]) 23:17, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

== Roller Derby ==

[http://community.feministing.com/2010/06/12/roller-derby-the-ultimate-feminist-sport/ This source] was used as citation that "no old white men" made money off the skaters bodies. It doesn't say anything about that, and it's written from a very feminist POV, but may be useful if anyone has time to tidy the section up.

==Metallica==

They did not try to sue their fans. They sued Napster. There is a huge difference.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/66.102.16.22|66.102.16.22]] ([[User talk:66.102.16.22|talk]]) 01:10, 13 December 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Someone on the Japanese Wikipedia redirected to a page of a real guy ==

If you click on the Japanese link in the languages, it'll link to a page titled [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B8%8B%E8%B0%B7%E9%99%BD%E4%B8%80 Yoichi Shibuya]. At first I thought this was a phrase like John Doe until my browser translated the page and revealed that it's apparently a real guy that is a music critic in Japan. It's very likely it's the work of some troll in Japan and unless I miss something I think the link should be removed from there.
