Hate is too strong a word I think - I nothing them - but they produce the sort of soulless indie/pop ballad that you know will end up in the soundtrack of Hollywood paint-by-numbers romcom that would’ve gone straight to DVD a decade or so ago. The unending radio play rotation would force the song (and we could be talking about any and all Coldplay songs here) into your brain and then five years later you’d find yourself humming it as you suddenly realised a longe bar version of it is playing in the lift (elevator USians) you’re in.
You just answered the question perfectly
Music for cheaters.
They are so completely soft and bland. They are the unflavored yogurt of music.
Unflavoured, unsweetened, full fat yoghurt is the only yoghurt. You’re thinking of sweet, vanilla low-fat yoghurt.
hey I dig plain yogurt, however I cannot think of a single Coldplay song.
And they were really popular so it was like eating unflavored yogurt all the time.
Some people like that, which is why they were popular. The rest of us suffered.
I had no idea people hated Coldplay.
They, like many other bands, stopped doing what they were good at, to experiment. It’s not as good.
I don’t hate them, but their good albums were a long time ago.
Same reason that some people obsessively hate pineapple on pizza. They heard it before and can’t come up with an original thought of their own.
That or they are having an affair and got caught.
I don’t feel strongly about Coldplay, but I think their style is “whatever Radiohead was doing two years ago, but watered down for the masses”.
Nothing wrong with that, but it does evoke a hipster vs. normie conflict.
They are a whiny facsimile of rock but they still got played on the rock stations. They are the opportunity cost of bands.
What is coldplay?
Wait, it’s a band. I thought it was some kind of streaming app. Meh.
Do you use many streaming apps? Old person asking
I actually thought it was some nuanced kind of stream. Like streaming the old recorded gameplay. Or something like that.
It’s a band that has been in the news lately because at one of their concerts there was some dude having an affair that got caught real be on the Jumbotron. But otherwise they saltarted in the late 90s or slightly later and just seem like good dudes to me.
If your serious start with yellow search on YouTube.
No, start with Clocks. That’s best.
Because they once said they were taking a hiatus from music until they wrote the best album ever written. Then, had the audacity to release an album.
Was it the best album ever?
No, Songs In The Key Of Life was Stevie Wonder, not Coldplay.
It was only a tribute?
They’re boring, he’s a bit of a twat, they’ve been accessed of stealing songs, radio/tv/movies won’t stop playing them.
this is just why I hate Coldplay tho, feel free to share your own reasons why you hate Coldplay.
Thanks. I don’t hate Coldplay though. I don’t follow people enough to know if they’re a twat. It’s just music for me.
When I worked at harris teeter stocking shelves they would play a handful of songs over and over. And Coldplay’s paradise was one of them. The song is entirely chorus. Imagine working for a job you fucking hate and theyre also playing
PARAAA PARAAA PARADISE
On loop 500 times in a row.
Also lady gaga’s alejandro
However, I recently saw glass animals live because my wife bought tickets. I was not a fan of their music before this show (sort of disliked “heat waves”) but their live show was really really good, with incredible stage design, vfx, and their songs sound much better live than over some crappy car speakers. And the band, I think, really adores their fans.
So maybe Coldplay is a much better experience live
I actually just got into glass animals not to long ago. My 5 yr old loves singing their songs, which I think is one of the reason I like em.
Are they and Coldplay in the same circles?
most definitely not in the same circles. I’m sure the 5 year old singing their songs is adorable aw
definitely do NOT play anything from before Dreamland around the kid though… their older stuff has a much more… sultry… vibe to it
edit: actually how to be a human being is fine it’s really just ZABA (their first album) that I would be worried about a 5 year old singing lol
Who ?
I don’t “hate” Coldplay, I nothing them. I don’t care for their sound at all, but am routinely forced to listen to it in stores. I resent being forced to listen to music, but don’t hate the bands themselves.
The stores who play ten songs on a loop can go fuck themselves, however.
They’re the mayonnaise of music
