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.
coldplay broke up my family after my dad was caught cheating with one of his subordinates.
lmao
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.
They are popular.
That’s it. Hipsters gotta hipster.
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.
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!
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
Stomp?
Oh, I didn’t know that. Good to know.
The State was their first album released on Roadrunner Records and might have been the first internationally released album, could be why you thought that. No worries
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.
Because they incite married coworkers to cheat with one another.
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.
From my perspective, their music is mediocre.
That’s why I love them.
I guess for you it is a feature.
They’re the mayonnaise of music
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.
Music for cheaters.
All music has to be is something nice to listen to.
Because after clocks/scientist they just sold out to mainstream garbage styled to the masses and the money and not the music.
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.
