It certainly puts it in new light the same way everyone randomly coming out to say they hate Coldplay after some CEO was outed as having an affair during one of their concerts.
Hey! I hated Coldplay way before that shit happened, plus them outing a shitty ceo actually made them slightly cooler.
Weird, I haven’t heard anyone say they hated Coldplay for this. In fact, I’d say that Coldplay is one of those bands that is regularly hated on, well before any of the cheating CEO and now, if anything, Coldplay is more liked, even if indirectly just because the situation was funny and meme’d so much.
Agreed. Didn't see that mentioned a single time
Ardent Coldplay hater here. Has absolutely nothing to do with the CEO shit.
Ehhhh honestly saying that you hate Coldplay has been a thing for quite a while. They're a highly successful pop act that is well past the peak of their popularity, that's just gonna happen
X&Y is still a great album though
As far as I can tell, Coldplay only have the one song, that they take apart and reassemble in different configurations. They are the musical equivalent of beige, and appeal solidly to the middle-classes. Hating Coldplay has been the thing to do for decades. It’s music for people who know nothing about music.
That's odd that you'd describe them as Nickelback or worse, modern country music, when part of why they've gained and lost fans over the years is because their albums tended to have different sounds to them.
They have more than one song.
It's just that you can't tell them apart.
