You and I are massive coldplay lovers no? we wouldn't be here if we weren't. I see coldplaying.com as my opportunity to express my gratitude and opinion on the best band on the planet. My question to you all is this...

At home do you get ridicule for your love of coldplay? My friends absolutly rip me to shreads because I love them. Now most of them own the new album, one claims its rubbish and AROBTTH is miles better. Which album is better is a tough one but he cant appriciate viva la vida. So i feel to appreciate coldplay you need to be a true fan like us. Its fustrating because they say they are boring and are depressing! Like many of you I have seen them live and its not depressing at all, not in the slightist. They can make soft quite songs into jump up and down songs! It just fustrates me that they cant hear the genuis of some of the lyrics and the sounds they recreate.

They all like viva la vida but i still don't think they appreciate its meaning or sound. If you listen to viva la vida the lyrics and sensational and the sound of the strings and everything else is quite inspiring.

Inbetween the first chorus and the second verson (it was a wicked and wild wind...) is truely stunning.

 

Amazing!

But don't you just want them to understand like you?

 

That is all.

:lol: BIG WORDS :rolleyes4:

 

yeah...my family doesn't really appreciate my coldplay obsession...but i'm slowly turning my mom and sis into addicts too :sneaky:

My family neither, but they respect that

i once got asked why i choose to pollute my ears because i listen to Coldplay. :rolleyes:

dan punkass! :mad:

Luckily for me my whole family loves Coldplay.

My mom thinks i'm a bit obsessed, but she's glad that they are a good band at least.

:lol:

 

And my brother has always been a coldplay fan too, but it wasn't until after we went to our concert together that i realized that's all he's been listening to.

So i'm proud that my brother loves them alot.

:D

 

And as for my friends, they don't understand at all. They don't hate coldplay, but they don't "LOVE" them.

 

But i agree, i wish everyone could see what we see/hear in them.

luckily, my mom really likes them. she said the clark county concert was one of the best concerts shes ever been to, and shes seen jimi hendrix, janis joplin, the rolling stones and a lot more.

my dad tolerates my obsession:lol:

my brother likes yellow and the scientist, and makes fun of me for liking anything more than those two songs:dozey:

most of my friends dont love them, dont hate them. one can play some of their songs on the piano:nice: i got my best friend into them a couple months ago. i made sure she had all the albums and a big picture of guy in her room:lol: another friend of mine pretty much hates them. its actually kind of a sore subject between us, because shes thinks my coldplay habit is stupid and a waste of time.

 

 

hahahaaaaaa, i just muted my tv, and my dad is playing yellow on his ihome upstairs! not kidding!

sometimes i love my family:lol:

My dad really likes Coldplay! He couldn't name all their songs and doesn't know a whole lot about the band (One time I was talking to him and I said, "You know how Coldplay is British, right?" to which he replied, "What? No. I didn't know...") but he's told me about how he likes the songs he has heard. I think his favorite is Green Eyes.

 

My brother used to pick on me when I was little because I liked Coldplay. But when VLV came out, he started stealing my Coldplay CDs until I bought him VLV and X&Y for his birthday.

 

 

Almost all my friends don't really listen to anything other than hit songs on the radio and a lot of them didn't even know who Coldplay was or they'd ask, "are they the ones that play that song Clocks?" But Clocks is my least favorite song of theirs so I kind of just cringed a little when I said yes. The ones that did know about music always made fun of me for liking Coldplay - or, you know, not just friends, but people would automatically judge me for saying Coldplay was my favorite band. And if I ever wanted to talk music (and, believe me, I'm kind of bad at conversation unless we're talking about music), I'd have to say things like, "well, Coldplay is my favorite band... BUT I do actually know my stuff I love Minor Threat and totally worship The Cramps. Come on, I know my punk." or, you know, people totally doubt that I own anything by T.I. and that I listen to Beyonce just as much as I do Coldplay sometimes.

 

 

 

But now that VLV came out, a lot of people who "hated" Coldplay before, love them now. Or they don't judge them based on one song anymore; be it Yellow or Clocks... Of course not all of them are as obsessed about them as I am, but they appreciate them a lot more.

 

But I think that has to do with how much we've all grown up. I mean, I was eleven when I first got into Coldplay. Back then it was cool to listen to bands like HIM and Simple Plan and whatever else was on the radio... And if you listened to anything else, people giggled and looked at you weird. Which is weird in itself but whatever. And now I'm 17, I'm going to be a senior in highschool, and people my age are okay with being themselves and not worrying about what other people think (as much). Of course, not everyone is like that but I like to think we're more mature. Which, if you hang out with the right people, they don't really care about what you listen to.

 

 

 

Besides, I don't like Lady Gaga but almost all my friends love her. We can't all agree on everything.

My whole family is into Coldplay.:wacky:

I'm the most obsessed one of course, but Coldplay posters are hanging several places in our hall and living room and they've all been to Coldplay concerts.

I quess I'm quite lucky to have a family with such a great music taste :smug:.

 

But when it comes to my friends :(.

One word: Hopeless.

They will never understand - but they've started respecting it which is so nice!

To me, I don't give a shit what people say or think:kiss:

To me, I don't give a shit what people say or think:kiss:

 

well said :D

i just had a flashback to sophomore year in high school(2005). so in my geometry class in order to decide who would answer a question first, the teacher said we needed to guess at a band that his T.A (teacher assistant)would like. my group made me answer since they dont listen to rock and dont know any bands. every other group was saying bands like metallica. when they got to me i couldnt think of anything so the T.A said "just say your favorite band."so i couldnt think of anything else other than Coldplay. then TA and the rest of the class gave this look like "you idiot, you like that band??!!" then my group was like what the hell who is coldplay? i was so pissed off at the class's lack knowledge of good music. i hated that T.A (stupid teacher assistant who in the end picked a group that answered Bob Marley. come on thats not even a band! it defeated the purpose of the excersise!)

 

about my family though, ive listened to so much coldplay that lately even my mom and dad who dont speak english were singing to "fix you".lol

my dad and my little brothers favorite is "in my place"my mom usually sings to "the scientist"

my sister and i are both really into coldplay and we went to their concert together, but even she disaproves of my obssessive behavior..e.g. going to coldplay.com all the time, talking about them ALL the time she just doesnt understand

thats why i gotta come to this site where theres fellow coldplayers who DO understand! so for everyone else i gotta tone down my coldplay obsessive thoughts and talk about other stuff.

To me, I don't give a shit what people say or think:kiss:

 

 

 

WORD.

:cool:

Luckily for me my whole family loves Coldplay.

My mom thinks i'm a bit obsessed, but she's glad that they are a good band at least.

:lol:

 

And my brother has always been a coldplay fan too, but it wasn't until after we went to our concert together that i realized that's all he's been listening to.

But i agree, i wish everyone could see what we see/hear in them.

 

this. well my sister likes coldplay. i have done a good job and turning her into an addict and she is only nine:sneaky:. for her bday she asked me for a coldplay poster! i got her one!

YES!

and I say F*ck you (in my head),

and thats all I have to say about that.

Not at all.And I don't know but all of my friends are in their mid-and late 20s.Unless you're into the Jonas Brothers or Lady Gaga or old boybands, nobody's gonna criticize your taste in music.There are more important things than that....(like what you read :D)

My friends like them, some of them more than others.We go to shows together.

My brothers like them and my parents as well.They all live in different countries and go to their concerts so I get reports from abroad :D
