How Coldplay actually sounds

Coldplay was termed Radiohead for your parents. I think that was accurate for their early career but now they're more like EDM for your parents or U2 for your great grandparents or something.

Astronomer CEO
If this is PR for Astronomer then somebody deserves a raise.
Honestly yeah, I'd never heard of this company before the whole viral scandal and memes.

Cut Coldplay some slack, this was the funniest thing that's happened in a while. Plus, Parachutes is...fine...A Rush of Blood to the Head has a couple of good tracks. Everything after that is pretty trash, but those first two albums were good to mid.

From what I understand, Coldplay was what played in suburban minivans 20 years ago when the drivers were driving their kids to taekwondo practice.
Also, apparently they’re the one band that’s not officially Christian Rock that’s huge with US Christians.
20 years ago they were what teenage sad-boys were listening to when they got bored of Radiohead and The Postal Service (and I mean that in the nicest way possible). Then after X&Y they kinda became electronic/synthpop for the clinically depressed.

Why are they so big with Christians? I've seen that too and can't explain it
Because they are generic and don't curse.

He was forced out of his role, and his wife removed her married last name from her socials.
So it doesn't seem like a ploy imo.

Radiohead has been parent music for awhile now gtfo

Coldplay good. Fight me
I dont love them, or ever even hit play on them myself, but that is true of a lot, if not most good music. And when I hear them on the radio, yea, its def not bad music.
Meme still funny tho. They are suburban mom pop.

Of course, the arrow of time remains unchanged.
But what did change is the type of music Coldplay made. They went from Radiohead-lite to whatever you want to call that crap now.

Certainly not worth fighting for.

Coldplay is for people who think they enjoy high art because they watch period costume dramas about the Victorian Age. Because that's what high art is, isn't it? Stuffy settings and dialogue, delivered in a bygone accent.

U2 was for your great grandparents lol.
Jk. It's impossible for people in 2025 to appreciate this, but when U2 first hit the scene, they were a fresh air alternative to the stale late '70s disco scene. And for kids like me with a burgeoning political awareness, they were heroes. Also, mullets. It's very difficult for me to accept how they turned into a bunch of tax-dodging cunts who produced a fucking Spiderman musical, of all things (probably as a tax dodge).

I thought that was Snow Patrol.

How dare you not mention Raising Arizona.
Or Leaving Las Vegas.

Yeah, imagine finding out your spouse cheated on you and not being able to go online without seeing it everywhere. Gotta suck for both of their partners
There are billboards on the road using the event as advertisement fodder.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I got the impression they were more of what bro-dudes listened to when they were sad rather than what sad-boys were listening to, but only exposure to them was Chasing Cars. They seemed closer to The All-American Rejects than, say, The Shins or Interpol or any of the other shit I was listening to when I was my most insufferable teenage self.

I don't get why this is so big, wouldn't anybody be that embarrassed to be caught at a cold play concert?
I know, it brings shame on you and your family. I can't blame them

I thought Interpol was music for girls. Only people I knew that listened to them were girls who worked for Red Bull.
