Line 5:
*** Doesn't help the fact that Justin Timberlake was part of the Boybands ruined music scene before that. At least he's hanging with cool people now.
** 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, [[
* 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. [[It's Popular, Now It Sucks|Because, apparently it's impossible to make good music once you're in the industry.]] Punk bands have been getting this for years, although their anti-establishment themes often make you wonder why they didn't see it coming.
** 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.
* ''[[
** 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."
Line 15:
** They either [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|changed it for the label]], or [[It's the Same, Now It Sucks|didn't change it for the label]].
* 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 [[
* Some fans say indie rock bands like ''Grizzly Bear'' and ''[[Florence and
* Fans of ''Against Me!'' claimed the band sold out when they moved from the tiny No Idea label to Fat Wreck Chords in 2003, to the point where fans slashed the tires of the bands tour van and vandalised it and reportedly poured bleached over their merch table. The bizarre thing is that Fat Wreck Chords was well known for being anti-establishment indie label. Ironically, there was alot less outcry when the band left FWC for an actual major label, Sire Records in 2007.
* When ''[[The Beatles]]'' were still only popular in their hometown, drummer [[The Pete Best|Pete Best was given the boot]] for the more competent Ringo Starr. Many fans cried [[Ruined FOREVER]] at the time, but everything turned out ok.
* In 1965, [[Bob Dylan]]'s switching from an acoustic guitar to an electric one provoked great outrage of this nature from his folk rock fans. This went beyond 'ruined' forever; some even considered him a traitor to folk rock, and there were cries of 'Judas!' when he played electric at the Newport Folk Festival.
* After years of being bashed for their artsy prog-rock pretentiousness, [[Yes]] released their ''90125'' album with a more conventional rock sound--and were immediately declared Ruined Forever.
** The same thing happened when [[Peter Gabriel]] left ''[[Genesis (
** [[David Bowie]] has long had a broken fanbase due to his fondness for the ''[[New Sound Album]]'' trope, but wailing and gnashing of teeth hit a fever pitch when he switched to mainstream pop-rock for ''Let's Dance'' and had a [[Newbie Boom]]...
* [[Fan Dumb]] on the part of fans of ''any'' genre of [[Heavy Metal
** [[Tenacious D]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR7U1HIhxfA has something to say on the matter...]
* The [[Loudness War]] has ruined most contemporary and remastered music FOREVER.
** Not forever, provided the original, unruined masters still exist. It's likely that once the companies come out with a new format claimed to be 'the best sound quality ever' they will use the original masters and people will think that it's an improvement.
* "American Pie", according to the most popular fan theory, is a requiem for popular music and pop culture in general after the 1950s.
* What?! [[Insane Clown Posse
** They used surf rock guitars in "The Bone"!? They've sold out and are now ruined FOREVER!
* ''[[Dragon Force]]'''s replacement vocalist Marc Hudson has caused some fans to complain about how he sounds different to ZP and claim he won't be able to do the old songs as well.
* ''[[Morbid Angel]]'''s newest album ''Illud Divinum Insanus'' has elicited many fan complaints thanks to a [[Nu
* 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!
* [[
* This can often happen when a singer-songwriter that is not well-known in the mainstream features on a track by a mainstream artist, [[It's Popular, Now It Sucks|which then becomes better-known than anything they had done before]]. An example of this would be the negative response from many fans of Sia Furler to her collaborations with David Guetta and Flo Rida.
* [[
** [[
** Or for that matter, any musician that sheds their young, innocent image and releases videos with lots of sexual imagery and innuendo.
* Do I even need to mention [[Linkin Park]] ? I'm tired of hearing how Minutes to Midnight and A Thousand Suns ruined [[Linkin Park]] FOREVER.
