They’re the mayonnaise of music
Because they incite married coworkers to cheat with one another.
I remember me and my buddy were sitting around one night drinking mad dog and smoking weed and a live company Coldplay concert was on TV so we watched it and thought it was kind of good. Then the next day we each listened to Coldplay sober on our own. I got a text from him half way thru the day that just said “holy shit dude,I don’t know what was going on last night, but I just listened to Coldplay again… It’s like the sound track to a woman complaining about her period… How the fuck did this sound good last night?”
You know how I know you’re gay?
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
hey I dig plain yogurt, however I cannot think of a single Coldplay song.
I don’t hate them, but we have a joke, “is that… Coldplay?” when we hear an unfamiliar song, because their music is sort of unremarkable.
I don’t think they are alone in that, it’s just funny they got so famous with it. I’ve heard them in interviews and they sound like delightful people. Funny and self-aware.
I had no idea people hated Coldplay.
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.
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?
It was only a tribute?
No, Songs In The Key Of Life was Stevie Wonder, not Coldplay.
