Because they're not Nickelback?

Hehe

They're boring, he's a bit of a twat, they've been accessed of stealing songs, radio/tv/movies won't stop playing them.

this is just why I hate Coldplay tho, feel free to share your own reasons why you hate Coldplay.

The great thing about Coldplay is they've changed over the years, which of course pisses some off who liked one style and now expect it every time. I don't like some of their songs, but the songs I do like I enjoy. The era of Clocks and Speed of Sound and Scientist were solid. There have been a few later ones I like too, but the songs either click for you or not. That's how music should be, eclectic and not formula.

I think the last song of theirs that hit me hard was All I Can Think About is You. May not be everyone's type of song, but it felt like the Coldplay I like. And there's the sleeper The Hardest Part.

I remember me and my buddy were sitting around one night drinking mad dog and smoking weed and a live company Coldplay concert was on TV so we watched it and thought it was kind of good. Then the next day we each listened to Coldplay sober on our own. I got a text from him half way thru the day that just said "holy shit dude,I don't know what was going on last night, but I just listened to Coldplay again... It's like the sound track to a woman complaining about her period.. How the fuck did this sound good last night?"

I don't, but if it is being served in a playlist or anything, I'll skip it. They are so bland, it's almost like easy listening.

They are the epitome of the adage that their earlier stuff was better. For me, they jumped the shark when Roman Catholic bells were ringing.

Because after clocks/scientist they just sold out to mainstream garbage styled to the masses and the money and not the music.

Music for cheaters.

Who ?

What is coldplay?

I thought that was a joke inspired by the movie The 40 Year Old Virgin:

I have no opinion whatsoever about Coldplay.

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.

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.

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.

Why do people hate Nickleback?
