As an artist (though not of the musical variety) I can tell you that if someone gives me millions upon millions to paint a certain way, I'll do it. Out of those "indie" bands many will end up "selling out". Why not? My momma told me before my first art class to do what the teacher said to get a good grade-and then I could come home and paint/draw whatever the hell I wanted. Same thing. Make millions by playing the game. Do what you want otherwise. It's a job. Artists aren't better than the rest of the population and aren't required to adhere to some mythical calling just because they're creative...or just simply good at playing an instrument.
That being said, Nickleback can suck it.
