coldplay broke up my family after my dad was caught cheating with one of his subordinates.
lmao
They’re the mayonnaise of music
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)
Yeah see, I put them in the same category as Coldplay. Possibly even more annoying imo
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
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.

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?
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
All about the horsey sauce
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!
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.
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.
Why do people hate Nickleback?
Their first album The State is pretty damn good. And they have some decent singles after that.
Curb is their first album, their first EP was Hesher
Oh, I didn’t know that. Good to know.
Stomp?
The amount of radio play they got, for me. I was a fan of How You Remind Me when it came out, and they do have a handful of listenable songs, but the sheer amount of repetition changed things from “they’re ok” to “omg not again, fuck these guys”.
I feel similar, but to a lesser degree, about Coldplay.
From my perspective, their music is mediocre.
That’s why I love them.
I guess for you it is a feature.
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.
They are popular.
That’s it. Hipsters gotta hipster.
Because they incite married coworkers to cheat with one another.
Music for cheaters.
All music has to be is something nice to listen to.
