** This is actually a subversion in some cases. Many people use the similarities between popstars as proof that pop is terrible in the first place, despite the fact that since they play/sing the same genre, they're bound to be somewhat similar.
*** 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''.
* BruceSpringsteen, Dave Matthews, Music/PearlJam 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. [[ItsPopularNowItSucks 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 ([[SeriousBusiness 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}}s to big-label artists, only to later become the same presumed sell-outs they have previously bemoaned.
* ''{{Metallica}}'' released an album without Cliff Burton? Metallica is Ruined FOREVER! They released an album that was closer to old-school heavy metal instead of thrash metal? Ruined FOREVER! ''Death Magnetic'' isn't a bland copy of ''Master of Puppets''? Ruined FOREVER! Seriously, no matter what, Metallica is ''never'' going to catch a break from [[UnpleasableFanbase its so-called "fans".]]
** Metallica, and RuinedFOREVER 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 [[ItsPopularNowItSucks have a Top 40 hit or two after years of toiling in relative obscurity]]. There are many examples, especially from '70s album rock and '90s alternative.
** They either [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks changed it for the label]], or [[ItsTheSameNowItSucks 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 KanyeWest sampling DaftPunk'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''.
* Some fans say indie rock bands like ''Grizzly Bear'' and ''FlorenceAndTheMachine'' were RuinedFOREVER by contributing to the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' soundtrack.
* 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 ''TheBeatles'' were still only popular in their hometown, drummer [[ThePeteBest Pete Best was given the boot]] for the more competent Ringo Starr. Many fans cried RuinedFOREVER at the time, but everything turned out ok.
* In 1965, BobDylan'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 PeterGabriel left ''Music/{{Genesis}}'' and PhilCollins took over lead vocals.
** DavidBowie has long had a broken fanbase due to his fondness for the ''NewSoundAlbum'' 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 NewbieBoom...

* The LoudnessWar 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.

** They used surf rock guitars in "The Bone"!? They've sold out and are now ruined FOREVER!
