July 28, 200521 yr What genre is coldplay? ive heard them called rock, pop, british pop, indie. but is their an official classification for their music?
July 28, 200521 yr i also heard they are indie mostly but their fans use to say they are britpop... :confused:
July 28, 200521 yr Hmm... in http://www.allmusic.com they said that Coldplay is Alternative Pop/ Rock Indie Rock Britpop
July 28, 200521 yr i think their genre is one of a kind----they should come up with their very own genre :P
July 28, 200521 yr Indie Rock: Indie is slang for a type of guitar orientated music derived from 'punk'. Indie has generated it's own fashions as with most youth music. Originally an abb. of Independent, being a record label not affiliated to a major label such as Sony or EMI. I have said this once and will say it again, Coldplay IS NOT INDIE!!!
July 29, 200521 yr Author i thought indie was like bright eyes or the killers. and bands like that, not bands derived from punk.
July 29, 200521 yr Indie is basically bands that are based on a non-mainstream label, killers are on a mainstream label, Island, the same one that U2 is on, right?
July 29, 200521 yr Author Indie is basically bands that are based on a non-mainstream label' date=' killers are on a mainstream label, Island, the same one that U2 is on, right?[/quote'] really? i thought island was non mainstream. but i dont know much so..
July 29, 200521 yr I tend to group them with Britpop.. It's just convenient considering their from Britain and the quality of their songs puts them in that category. But Wikipedia/Answers.com call them "post-Britpop" And well, they won grammies under the best "Alternative Music Album" back in 2003 for the 2002 Grammy Awards. So Alternative music? along with Radiohead, Bjork & Sigur Ros?
July 30, 200521 yr They are not indie. They are not rock. Definitely not alternative. Coldplay are a pop band I think. Maybe soft-rock, or melodic-rock fits te description.
