coldplay broke up my family after my dad was caught cheating with one of his subordinates.
lmao
They’re the mayonnaise of music
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.
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.
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 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
Oh ya, I definitely vetted em before letting them listen. It’s funny, I think of a lot of the music I was allowed to listen to growing up. I listen now and I’m like “Why would my folks let me hear this?”
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!
They are popular.
That’s it. Hipsters gotta hipster.
Why do people hate Nickleback?
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.
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?
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.
Because they incite married coworkers to cheat with one another.
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.
From my perspective, their music is mediocre.
That’s why I love them.
I guess for you it is a feature.
Music for cheaters.
All music has to be is something nice to listen to.
I really hadn’t thought about Coldplay in years until I showed up to work at one of their concerts a couple years ago. I honestly couldn’t name a single one of their songs except Viva La Vida, which - spoiler - is not one of their songs.
But all the people on tour with them were really friendly and competent and gave clear instructions, unlike the usual raging assholes who go on tour to do staging work. We got the job done quickly, safely, and with minimal angry screaming.
So now I like Coldplay. I still don’t listen to their music, but, like, I just decided I like them.
