Line 6:
** What, they only ruined Pop forever? Bring up a YouTube video of ''any'' song more than a decade old and observe a comments section with nothing but claims that pop-star-du-jour represents the death of ''all'' good music, ''everywhere''.
* [[Bruce Springsteen]], Dave Matthews, [[Pearl Jam (Music)|Pearl Jam]] and other artists who have strong cult followings suffer from this with just about every major release. Springsteen, in particular, has hordes of fans at places like Backstreets and Stone Pony London who kvetch about each new record at or shortly before the time of its release, only to eventually decide that it's GOLD compared to the next album that comes out a few years later.
* This is the fan reaction to just about any indie band/Christian band that signs to a major label. That's why, to many fans, bands like Death Cab and Underoath flat out suck now. [[
** Entertainingly, this is also true at the opposite end of the spectrum from Christian music - Black Metal ([[Serious Business|those crazy church-burning ones]])is notorious for claiming only the most amateurishly-produced and listener-unfriendly music as "true Black Metal". Even then, it's preferable that the band should be inactive because a) they've killed themselves or b) half of them are in prison for killing and eating another band/the other half of their own band, c) they've been too busy to tour due to a five-year drinking binge in some remote part of Norway.
** The situation isn't helped when then-indie bands issue lyrical [[Take That|take thats]] to big-label artists, only to later become the same presumed sell-outs they have previously bemoaned.
Line 12:
** Metallica, and [[Ruined FOREVER]] means we need to mention ''St Anger''? Even Metallica has all but disowned this record.
* Pretty much any band that changes its sound is accused of "selling out."
** The band doesn't even have to change its sound. All it has to do is [[
** They either [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|changed it for the label]], or [[
* Hip-hop is ruined forever about once a week depending on who you ask.
** Not only that, but any song ever sampled by a hip-hop or rap artist becomes ruined forever. Such as [[Kanye West]] sampling [[Daft Punk (Music)|Daft Punk]]'s "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger," though plenty of examples of this trope can be found by searching through the Youtube comments of ''every song that's ever been sampled''.
Line 34:
* Oh no! Geri Halliwell has left the [[Spice Girls]] and the rest of the group have to carry on their tour without her! The group is RUINED FOREVER!
* [[Me Without You (Music)|Me Without You]] is gonna release a new album in 2012, the first since their few years hiatus? [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|Fans were very excited]]. Wait, [[Paramore (Music)|Hayley Williams]] guest appears on not just one, but two tracks? Loyal mwY fans cried RUINED FOREVER! ([[Hate Dumb|and that's even before the album's out]]).
* This can often happen when a singer-songwriter that is not well-known in the mainstream features on a track by a mainstream artist, [[
* [[Avril Lavigne (Music)|Avril Lavigne]] upon the release of "What The Hell". The message of the song and especially the music video ruined FOREVER any perceptions of her as the sweet, next door type.
** [[Britney Spears (Music)|Britney Spears]] at the end of the [[Girl Next Door|innocent girl next door]] phase of her career would qualify for similar reasons.
