How Coldplay actually sounds
-
Radiohead has been parent music for awhile now gtfo
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.
-
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.
Certainly not worth fighting for.

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.
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).

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.

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.

I was just considering modern Cage, a different beast.
Con air, face off and the rock. And all his movies that autocorrect doesn’t know to capitalize.

I don't know, maybe? When I was in high school the girls were all listening to emo. Once pop-punk went out of style (pretty much the minute Sk8ter Boi was released), most of the girls I knew pivoted towards Death Cab for Cutie or Dashboard Confessional. I was having a sad-boy period and other sad-boys I knew got me into Radiohead, Interpol, Coldplay (again, those first two albums), the Shins, and the Strokes.

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.
I would say at the time they were solid good. They weren't technically very complex but who cares - half the bands at that time barely even played instruments, just banged out power chords and yelled into a mic. As far as pop music goes those albums were great in my opinion. Wouldn't talk about them in a music theory class, but we were lucky to have such solid albums getting radio play.

Is Coldplay the American Tragically hip? Im Canadian and the tragically hip has to be the most mediocre, boring, forgettable band in Canada. I would say overrated but that’s the thing, tragically hip were gone and forgotten and not a single Canadian ever said “they’re my favourite band!”
Then the lead singer became terminally ill and ran a final tour and suddenly everyone i knew who had never once listened to their music in decades was all “BEST BAND EVER”
Except Coldplay isn’t dying, but I do find that I can’t ever find a person who likes Coldplay beyond having one or two of their songs as their Spotify filler that they often skip -
Certainly not worth fighting for.
Or getting a divorce for.

That's certainly how I feel about Parachutes. Solid little album, even if it's not reinventing the wheel. I feel more mixed about A Rush of Blood to the Head. Some of their best tracks are on that album (The Scientist may be their best song), but a lot of it is forgettable, and Clocks just sucks, don't know how that became a big single. I thought X&Y was pretty meh, and then I stopped listening.
