But how exactly is that "selling out"? Being more sexual/sex-positive is a personal choice and not indicative of ~compromised principles~ or a ~lack of integrity~ or whatever. That's a very **** shamey perspective.
I'll concede that the message of Work from Home is a bit hypocritical given what they once espoused on BO$$, but being sexual isn't where the problem there lies.
I don't get this TUmblr'd mindset, it's obvious they knew selling sex would be what made them bigger, after priding themselves on a modesty-driven platform... they definitely switched to SEX after seeing that it works.
Honestly, whatever: my opinion is a little less extreme'd now that I know what they were going for,
but the fact that the most success a cute girl group gets is with a sexed out song is a little sad to me.
It's most of all a reflection of society and its values.

but who cares
using sex appeal to sell records is a cornerstone of pop and has been since...forever?
No matter what, Rihanna's career trajectory is endlessly more impressive than any of these sexy pop girls.
It'd be different if their music was actually valuable and good.
A vapid, radio song isn't good music no matter how you spin it,
and there's clearly no artistic growth going on.
How dare I not fully comprehend a Top 40'd mindless tune?
