Are Coldplay really everything thats wrong with modern, popular music? No, they are not.

I guess Coldplay kinda fits in with British sound (Radiohead), but why are they in this part of the forum?

I would say what's wrong with modern popular music are the Hollister wearing, dips*its that download everysingle song on their iPod, and have absolutly no taste in music outside of what their friends like. Also the people who know songs from guitar hero. I have more but that really sticks out where I live.

Well at least there one to advantage to people who do more than buy itunes singles. You can ALWAYS tell when someone doesn't know what there talking about in a conversation about a band/artist/instrument.

It makes me laugh when a kid has a band's shirt on and you ask to see what songs thay have and they have only 1 album. Their newest album...

One of the most unappealing aspects of the music business is the insufferable arrogance of self-appointed arbiters of good taste. Musical elitism is often a mask for musical ignorance.

If you're going to heap scorn on me for liking Dido at least give me some valid musical reasons why you think she's lame. Your own musical tastes are as completely subjective as everybody else's, and at the end of the day, nobody really cares what you think.

Wow, you're going to last long here

I actually like Dido to an extent, I don't have a problem with her. But, I would put her in the same category as Coldplay at the most.

Secondly, try making your first sentence readable.

Thirdly, all of this preaching about "self-appointed arbiters of good taste" etc is exactly what you were doing when talking about Coldplay.

Fourth, I don't give a damn about being cool.

Fifth, when did I heap scorn at you?

Sixth, of course tastes are subjective, so how come you are right and I am wrong? If anyone should be right (which nobody can) it should be the one who has heard more music and can judge it in relation to everything else.

And finally, fuck off. I think you'll find less people care about your opinions if you keep up that attitude.
