Title: New genre of music: Coldplay
Post by: RobbieOC on 12 Nov 2007, 12:02
Like any normal college student, I spend most of my days stalking my friends via facebook feed. Here's something I saw recently that I found rather humorous:

Coldplay is now their own genre of music. At least, in Oklahoma City. Yes, OKC invents genres.

I am personally more interested in that steal of a deal at Pier 1.

It's a steal, yes, but the chair looks kind of ugly so I wouldn't really call it a deal.

Facebook isn't smart enough to pick out bands or genres, it just chooses the words that are most used in people's "music" section in their profile.

But yeah that is kinda funny.

Well, it kind of implies that there was more Coldplay than the entire genre of R&B, in that case. Which seems weird. And sad.

I think my school's is pretty good:

3    Anything That Does Not Have Some Guy Screaming In It
4    And Some Rap
5    And Anything That Has More Than One Line Repeated Over And Over Again In The Song

7    All Kinds

5    Counting Crows
6    Billy Joel
7    Green Day
8    Ben Folds
9    The Killers

UPenn is disappointingly predictable in this regard.  I personally live in an oasis of obscure music lovers/performers but the majority of the school is, well, what you'd expect from looking at the above list.

A guy in my band is under the impression that when we're "practicing", aka covering songs for fun, Coldplay is an acceptable choice.

And, here's my high school's favorite music:
1    Coldplay
2    R&b
3    Rap
4    Pink Floyd
5    Hip Hop

7    Rock

The "musos" and their weird-ass friends at my school are starting to really get into Bob Marley and Reggae in general. It's really annoying and kinda of ridiculous.

I wouldn't group Coldplay and Youth Group together, but I guess they are similar in sound. A little tiny bit?

Maybe the Coldplay genre could be more defined by the low quality of music, but high number of unironic listeners who seem to have been brainwashed into thinking the band is good.

Shame on you, Boston.  I thought you had better taste in music than this.

Coldplay is kinda becoming a genre.  Silverchair's new song is terrible (not that Silverchair really did anything good) and it sounds like Coldplay-lite.  And Coldplay is already Radiohead-lite.

I also like to think of it as the "Commercial Genre" - because it sounds like music that should be playing in the background of commercials. And kinda because they sold out. I dunno.

North Toronto Collegiate Institute, I choose you!

Top Music

1 The Beatles
2 The Who
3  Rap
4 Pink Floyd
5 Red Hot Chili Peppers
6 Queen
7 Led Zeppelin
8 Jack Johnson
9 Eminem
10 Radiohead

I don't actually know anyone who likes Jack Johnson or Eminem....outside of that my school seems very classic rock oriented. I think the main reason why people write "rap" in the music category is because there are so many forgettable artists in this genre.

Top Movies

1 Borat
2 Wedding Crashers
3 Scarface
4 Fight Club
5 Casino Royale
6 Moulin Rouge
7  Godfather
8 Friday Night Lights
9 Dodgeball
10 Crash

I've only seen three of those movies.

Top Books

1To Kill A Mockingbird
2 Harry Potter
3 Animal Farm
4 Pride And Prejudice
5 Lord Of The Rings
6 Jurassic Park - There's a book?
7 Eragon
8 Eldest
9 Death Note - Not technically a book
10 1984

at least His Harriness isn't at the top. The rest of it is just vanilla.

I don't know how things are in New York but here there aren't a lot of people who've heard of Kerouack, and those that would don't really have the patience to bullshit an author they haven't read.


Man, i don't even go to school and I know how to spell Kerouac.

There's a question that answers itself.

Also I guess I had Kerouac confused with onomatopoeia from Batman?

That is indeed a ridiculous statement.

In terms of number of albums released, progression of stylistic changes and overall influence, there can't really be a Beatles of our generation. You could probably make a better argument for bands like REM, Fugazi or Sloan but even those would be pretty far-fetched notions.

Don't be silly Tommy. It is common knowledge that KoRn is this generations Beatles.


Limp Bizkit are the Rolling Stones.

Actually, they're incredibly annoying and that song, Chasing Cars, was playing here everywhere I went for a couple of months.

At least they didn't get their own iPod commercial.

they got played here for awhile but I kinda zone out after a couple seconds

although there was that one good song but typically for snow patrol I can't for the life of me remember the name

Ender's Game was decent, slightly depressing, and i don't think it deserved a big freaking series.

2 The Notebook
3 Mean Girls
4 Titanic
5 Scarface
6 Eurotrip
7 Dodgeball

Most of these sucked.  I'd really like to see the movie "2" though.  Hopefully it's as good as "1".

4V For Vendetta
5Pride And Prejudice
6Lord Of The Rings
7Garden State
8Fight Club
9Beauty And The Beast
10Anchorman

I, for one, am pleasantly surprised. Basically, because The Princess Bride is indeed the best movie ever. We did get something right. The rest weren't half bad, with the exception of Anchorman.

This list, however, is very disheartening:

Top Music
1U2
2Coldplay
3Jack Johnson
4The Fray
5Radiohead
6The Killers
7Red Hot Chili Peppers
8Rascal Flatts
9Goo Goo Dolls

I'm not sure what to say about this next list:

Top Books
1The Bible
2Harry Potter
3Lord Of The Rings
4Blue Like Jazz
5Mere Christianity
6To Kill A Mockingbird
7The Brothers K
8Pride And Prejudice
9The Atonement Child
10Chronicles Of Narnia

We are a Christian school, I guess. I think To Kill A Mockingbird was the book everyone read in high school (ie the last book most people at my college read).

No one has any right to complain anymore.  My college officially has the worst list I've seen on here.  Jack Johnson, Wedding Crashers, and Grey's Anatomy are apparently the most popular things at my college.  Why did I go to a state school? 

Oh yeah.  So I can look down on everyone around me like a proper hipster. 
(http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p316/darkbluerabbit/UWLFails.jpg)

I threw the interests in there for fun.  Mostly because if anyone here was actually interested in music, reading, or movies, this list would be drastically different.  And because that many people legitimately think that "partying" qualifies as an interest.
