I'm confused...What are us Coldplay fans called? I've heard all three being used recently! What is this madness?!? Lol So are we coldplayers, Carkids, or xylobrytes?

Carkids and xylobrytes are a load of bollocks. Coldplayers forever and ever and ever, amen!

Haha! How did these names even get started?

Coldplay fans. But you can call yourself whatever you want.

I'm no Xylobryte!

Xylobryte sounds like some faulty gene, I'll stick to Coldplayer.

Coldplayer :D

Coldplayer for life! :heart:

Coldplayer!

It's Coldplayer. :D

Haha! How did these names even get started?

 

Phil tweeted about Xylobrytes last year.

 

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>@<a href="https://twitter.com/ihsanshaikhly">ihsanshaikhly</a> yes good question . I like Xylobrytes.

Yup, I'm a Coldplayer

Tbh I don't even like the word Coldplayer :| and even though it's hard and painful we have to let Car Kids go :disappointed:

i prefer Coldplayer, but honestly if anyone wants to call themselves anything different they can go right ahead. it's just a name. :P

I don't think the "name" should be associated with any one era alone so coldplayer works perfectly as a representation of all eras. after all no one was calling themselves spies or scientists or messengers or lovers back in all the other eras. At least I don’t think they were!

goodness that sounds so dirty

That :nod:

Obviously Coldplayers are the best.

 

 

Sorry Phil, but for some reason "Xylobryte" sounds really stupid to me. :shrug: :escaping3:

 

damn we so rebel standing up to Phil n shit

Definitely Coldplayer :D.

damn we so rebel standing up to Phil n shit

Well you know, if Ian says it's Coldplayer, than Coldplayer it is. Don't care what Phil says. :P

Well you know, if Ian says it's Coldplayer, than Coldplayer it is. Don't care what Phil says. :P

 

Exactly! :wacko:

Car kids are non existent! Xylobrytes is a ridiculous name

 

Coldplayers sounds fine but I always thought it means someone in the band Coldplay, not a fan of it :shrug:

 

so because I am boring I prefer Coldplay fans or Fans de Coldplay :P sounds less exclusive. After all it's not a nationality.

I think Coldplayer is more universal and everyone knows what you're talking about. Plus that's the name you hear the most. I think the band even tweeted it once (although it was for a trend on twitter) so it's kinda acknowledged by them I guess... But if you wanna call yourself a Xylobryte or a Car Kid, that's good too. I don't think there's any rule or something but I prefer Coldplayer :)
