Comment on How Coldplay actually sounds

Coldplay was termed Radiohead for your parents. I think that was accurate for their early career but now they’re more like EDM for your parents or U2 for your great grandparents or something.

Of course, the arrow of time remains unchanged.
But what did change is the type of music Coldplay made. They went from Radiohead-lite to whatever you want to call that crap now.

Radiohead is 10 years older than Coldplay so i really don’t understand this

Coldplay is for people who think they enjoy high art because they watch period costume dramas about the Victorian Age. Because that’s what high art is, isn’t it? Stuffy settings and dialogue, delivered in a bygone accent.

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).

“This song is not a rebel song. This song is Sunday, bloody Sunday” or, better: fuck you and your mother. I will say what I want when I want.and call you fuckers out for all the bullshit you put us through. But, since these are the eighties i will do it somewhat politely.
Boy. October. War. Under a bloodred sky.
Somewhere along there they got lost and made the unfo. Still good but… fuck Eno.
Then it all exploded with the Joshua tree. They became the biggest band on earth, almost imploded under their own weight during/after R&H. Reinvented themselves with Achtung Baby and Zooropa and became what we have nowadays.
But that glorious beginning, the rage, the pain. The angst of our entire generation in those three albums with bloodred sky as the magnificent encore. The Magnus opus.
It was nothing like them now. I can’t even name their last albums.

That song really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday

That song is infamous in Sweden. But not for any positive reasons.
The title when sung, sounds an awful lot like phonetic Swedish. “Sunday, bloody Sunday” sounds like “Smeå negrer i sanden”, which translates to “small n*ggers in the sand”.
