This. There's this wierd unspoken rule amongst some that you're not a "true fan" unless you have been with the band from the very first album; doesn't matter what country you're from or how old you were when that album was released, unless you were there from the start, you're the scum of the fanbase. If a person knows and loves a variety of a band's work, regardless of when they got into it, they shouldn't be mocked

 

Agreed. I don't get that unspoken rule, either, I think it's a really strange thing to measure one's fandom by.

 

I know many Americans who have great taste in music *Shrugs*. But again, it's all subjective.

You're right, it's most definitely not exclusive to Coldplay. There aren't really any bands that fill stadiums here anymore besides U2, but U2 is a similar example. (even though I personally thought they didn't go downhill quite as rapidly) Their shows feature both fans who are exclusively fans of their first 10 years, as well as casual newcomers who were brought in with "Beautiful Day" onward and aren't too familar with the oldest stuff.

 

 

you can put Radiohead in there as well ;););)

Radiohead are like the anti-stadium band though.

my sister said that she was on twitter and people where tweeting that they love coldplay after the grammys and they started to change their name to something to do with mylo xyloto..

 

Am I the only person who gets annoyed when people "love" a band or singer just after listening to like one song?

Yes. You totally need to sort yourself out, weirdo.

They can't fill stadiums here though. Heck, even American bands that can fill stadiums in Europe can't fill stadiums in America.

That's mostly by choice. After ok computer, they had the chance to become the next truly massive commercial band, and have spent their entire careers since actively avoiding that. Coldplay had a similar fork in their career around x and y and chose the opposite direction.

Radiohead can certainly fill arenas here, but they're not as big of a draw as some other bands. They certainly couldn't fill stadiums, but as others have said very few bands can.
