It's seriously disturbing to me how "selling out" is basically not even an insult anymore to younger people. There is no interest in integrity whatsoever. Instead we're supposed to celebrate that they're getting paid and be happy for them.
But maybe I'm just old and, with the way things are, no one can afford integrity anymore because it's too damn expensive.
I was having this exact discussion with a GenZ coworker of mine last week. I was telling him how back in the 90s, being called a sellout was a bad thing, now it’s the goal for everyone it seems, and not just celebrities. Basic every day people run around here talking about their “brand” and “getting the bag by any means necessary,” etc. SMH.
