Maybe this is why they thought nobody would ever find out.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm, so I'm gonna answer genuinely:

The two people in the pic are having an affair, that's the Astronomer CEO Andy Bryon and his Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot on a kiss cam, and they hid their faces once they were on the Jumbotron.

I know, it brings shame on you and your family. I can't blame them

Early Coldplay was pretty good the 3rd and beyond is when he married a crazy person and named their kid apple.

Coldplay is like depression in music form, but mild compared to The Fray.

Hopefully watching Nick Cage's other marvellous movies. Pig, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and Mandy are excellent.

I would say at the time they were solid good. They weren't technically very complex but who cares - half the bands at that time barely even played instruments, just banged out power chords and yelled into a mic. As far as pop music goes those albums were great in my opinion. Wouldn't talk about them in a music theory class, but we were lucky to have such solid albums getting radio play.

U2 was for your great grandparents lol.

Jk. It's impossible for people in 2025 to appreciate this, but when U2 first hit the scene, they were a fresh air alternative to the stale late '70s disco scene. And for kids like me with a burgeoning political awareness, they were heroes. Also, mullets. It's very difficult for me to accept how they turned into a bunch of tax-dodging cunts who produced a fucking Spiderman musical, of all things (probably as a tax dodge).

Radiohead has been parent music for awhile now gtfo

Yeah, imagine finding out your spouse cheated on you and not being able to go online without seeing it everywhere. Gotta suck for both of their partners

I dont love them, or ever even hit play on them myself, but that is true of a lot, if not most good music. And when I hear them on the radio, yea, its def not bad music.

Meme still funny tho. They are suburban mom pop.

Um… what the fuck. This is literally how I was initially exposed to Coldplay.

Out of touch, suburban mom driving kids around on errands and dropping them off at their extracurriculars.

Why are they so big with Christians? I've seen that too and can't explain it

20 years ago they were what teenage sad-boys were listening to when they got bored of Radiohead and The Postal Service (and I mean that in the nicest way possible). Then after X&Y they kinda became electronic/synthpop for the clinically depressed.

At this point you have to specify which old era, I'm going pre 2004.

It’s basically a meme to dunk on Coldplay. Like with Nickleback.

No nobody. All the massive crowds and millions of albums they’ve sold aren't real. Haven’t you read the comments in this thread which represent the limits of awareness?
