Actually I often get the opposite. They're like: "I love that song (paradise) ! I can't stop listening to it!"

So I say: "Oh really ? You know I'm a huge Coldplay fan" :wacko:

And they're like: "Coldplay...this is for when you're sad...I mean I like that song but you know...not a fan or anything" :|:uhoh:

*AWKWARD*

 

So that proves Coldplay will never be cool. And that people can't admit the diversity in Coldplay's discography, also.

 

:nod: I agree with you on that. So I think CP is still not cool either, but you know there are sooo many people who just like music because it's successful at the moment.

I've been a proud Coldplay fan for 10 years now, and it's never been cool to like them. I've been made fun of by everyone from my brother to my best friend. I have a Coldplay bumper sticker on my car, I wear Coldplay shirts everywhere, and I hope they never become too "mainstream". I think part of the fun of being a Coldplay fan is having to defend how awesome they truly are. It's a kick-ass challenge. My way of looking at it, all those people who hate on them don't know what they are missing. So no, I still don't think it's cool to like them, and I'm perfectly fine with that. :)

I completely agree with you !!! I have exactly the same feeling & thought. :)

:nod: The other day I played Sleeping Sun in the car on the way to school, and after my brother asked me if it was Coldplay and I said yes he was like "wow...that was...different!" as if it was the first time they had experimented at all

 

 

Even though he's barely heard even a snippet of their work :P

 

^^ :lol:

Even better, you could say "I love them too, what is your favourite song from A Rush Of Blood To The Head?" or "What is your favourite B-Side?" And see their reaction ;) I bet they'd be really confused :laugh3:

 

Forget confused, they'd look at you as if you'd spontaneously grown a third arm

Now I see a lot of haters, who listen "true alternative music", and say that coldplay is now mainstream, because of for example Paradise video. :thinking:

And before Paradise, they weren't mainstream...?

Coldplay is too legit to quit

You're a poet and you didn't even know it (or did you :thinking:) :D

Haha... I can't think of anything that ryhmes. :(

Legit-quit

I guess I can rhyme at any time.

Ok that was bad lol.

Nope. I get crap for liking Coldplay all the time but I don't really care. The people I know that hate on it are usually shallow jerks anyway. Not to make a generalization of non-fans but really anyone who judges you by the music you listen to is a shallow jerk.

Coldplay are cool depending on who it is you ask. I know a lot of people who like them, but I still get the "you know how I know you're gay?" question. To be honest, I don't care if they're ever considered cool or not because I like the music and someone not liking them doesn't bother me. After all, opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one!

I think this has been true for a long time, the phenomenon of a musical group being 'uncool' which, when they achieve a level of popularity because they songs are great and true to heart, suddenly they are seen as 'cool' and hip and all that. If by comparison, one looks at the Beatles and how they began following Buddy Holly & the Crickets and Elvis and the great blues artists, their strain of music was much more gentle and sensitive from the start, and it gradually evolved as well. At the same time there were the 'cool' groups - groups with an edge - The Animals, the Rolling Stones, and many more.

So taken from that perspective, they fit into a more human stream of music, which will never be "cool", but comes from the gentle heart, from more compassionate yearnings.

Why would anyone stick a gay label with Coldplay? o___o

Because Coldplay is slightly effeminate.

I believe it's a joke from the movie "The 40 Year Old Virgin." It's actually a pretty funny movie...the joke just gets annoying after awhile to us CP fans...

No doubt Coldplay is cool, if people want to keep making fun of Coldplay. They will have to answer to me and coolness isn't really defined by the masses, it's defined by the cool. :cool:

THE muse?

Noope, they will forever be uncool. Once a nerd, always a nerd.

word on the street :gossip: it's cool to be a nerd. :D
