Good lead there AC. Trendwhoring is expressed alot through choice of music, with coldplay as todays 'finest' objective. So easy to claim a band that stays safely in the middle, and has no real opinions or statements, while stating they express your true emotions as I have heard before.
I don't think coldplay is terrible, but for the people that think that that music is a genuine expression of true human emotion; they haven't put their ears to full use

Meh I like coldplay, but it's not like I wear the shirts, and plaster my walls with their posters to show how hardcore into them I am.
Coldplay have more fans abroad than they do here, and those that like them here are generally publications who love other shit bands. NME and Q being the two worst. Coldplay aren't considered to be all that over on these shores. Purely because there's a wave of bands exactly like them, they just haven't made it across the seas. Which often leads people, specifically Americans, to believe they are unique.
