They’re Muzak.
Mostly because they used to rule the world, but everything they touched wasn’t gold, it was all yellow
Did I just get Cold-rolled?
Better yet, you got Cold-played
This is the most epic comment I’ve read on lemmy so far 😩👌
You mean comment chain right :p
I’m here to confirm your setup was essential to provide the secondary setup for the epic punchline.
It doesn’t take a Scientist to figure it out…
Amsterdamn!
Now it’s Empire of the Sun who rule the world…
coldplay broke up my family after my dad was caught cheating with one of his subordinates.
That didn’t have to be the case. That was your mom’s choice.
lmao
Hate is probably a strong word, but I don’t really care for their music. There’s nothing technically wrong with it, they’re competent musicians, but it all feels boring and generic to me. It’s bland and inoffensive, like it was written to play over a grocery store PA at a barely liminal volume for a middle-aged housewife to absent-mindedly hum along with as she compares laundry soap.
There’s nothing more boring and generic than Maroon5. At leastI can remember some songs by Colplay. Maroon5 is just all a generic mash
This. Love. Is. Taking it’s toll 🤮
Afaik that’s the only song they’ve ever performed.
Pre-Imagine Dragons Imagine Dragons.
Because they’re a poor man’s Radiohead…
Their first two albums are alright though.
I came to this thread intendending to defend them (even if I like a few songs, i wouldnt call myself a fan; I just dont like people getting unreasonable hate over anything) but this comment is just so real that I have lost the will for battle. Coldplay is mid Radiohead and that is okay.
If you like mid Radiohead, how about Radiohead+ (Muse)
My favorite thing about Muse is how anti-corporate they are while also being on a major corporate label. You think they’re cool with me pirating their shit or no? 🤔
Yeah see, I put them in the same category as Coldplay. Possibly even more annoying imo
Definitely more annoying.
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.
They’re popular because they’re broadly appealing and inoffensive, so for people who are passionate about music they’re likely comparatively boring, whereas people who don’t really care about music aren’t going to go out of their way to support or defend them.
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
They’re the mayonnaise of music
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.
I like their older stuff. „Clocks“, „Trouble“, „yellow“ or „The scientist“ are fucking awesome.
After that I listened to them less and less.
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.
The same reason everyone shits on Arby’s. Because everyone else does, which just makes it funny to everyone but the actual fans.
Roast beef and cheddar is the shit. That red Arby’s sauce… Mmmm. Fuck the onion bun though
You, my friend, are a man of fine taste. I always ask for an extra side of red ranch to dunk that sammich in. However, the Arby-Q has always been their best. I found a local sandwich shop that has a BBQ beef sandwich that’s an scale version and its amazing!
All about the horsey sauce
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.
They are popular.
That’s it. Hipsters gotta hipster.
Yep. The old “I’m so cool I only listen to people so unknown that even they don’t know who they are” crew
