Coldplay is the U2 of late millenials. Do with that info, what you will
Im Gen X and only knew them in their corporate rock phase. Did they ever have a kind of underground stage where they were massively influential like U2 had been?
I don’t know if it was “underground”, because their second album was very commercially successful, but they definitely did have a fair bit of influence. They were quite well regarded in the early 00s, and then in the late 00s to early 10s a whole bunch of pop-rock acts influenced by them cropped up
I still love X&Y, it’s a great album
Which means I get to say the new stuff sucks like every fan of every long-running musical act ever!
For real though I stopped listening to the new releases long ago, after there were two albums in a row I didn’t care for. It seems popular. Good for the people that like it

Except Radiohead fans.
Primus sucks.

What, you didn’t like Pork Soda? 😂
Me either.
Not that we had a choice … that shit was everywhere
How young do you have to be to not have heard Coldplay? Many of not most Gen Z folks were at least alive when they were still going strong.
Had this opinion. Listened to their stuff. Don’t have that opinion anymore. I personally like their early stuff the most (Parachutes, A rush of blood to the head)
