HOT TAKES

Lol, thank you gatekeeper.

I ■■■■■■■ hate coldplay.

Also ■■■■■■■ hate U2 as well.

Cant stand Ed Sheeran either.

And??

At least u2 had a genuinely unique thing early on and a very decent period of song writing. Then you’ve got Coldplay who were a pretty and commercialised Radiohead, then a twat with a penchant for stealing melodies and using loop pedals who just happened at the right time - we get the stars our times deserve.

And i prefer brunettes

I just dont like their sound.

(U2). Which i get many people would find odd. They are super popular and have some iconic anthems.

Coldplay and U2 are more boring than taytay.

Their music makes me want to get Dustin Martin to chopstick my ear drums.

Eew.

No, not a huge fan either. Gone off most vocal music years ago but the old stuff had energy and authenticity and i have a soft spot for tracks like All I want is You. I was a big Wim Wenders fan and they were one of the bands he used well in some of his films

There is a heap of incel engery in this thread lately…

Incel Engery sounds like the name of a nepo baby Hollywood actor

So what is it?

It’s a HOT TAKE

Just like we struggle with smartarses.

Hot takes might be cool but anyone who thinks a Hitler reference is either cool, funny or “a hot take” needs to rethink their frames of reference in my boomer opinion.

Hot take

There is no bad music. Just because you (and I don’t mean you in particular hp) don’t like it, doesn’t make it any more or less valid for someone else to like it. Coldplay? You don’t like, sure, but a tennis centres full of people will happily pay $100+ to see Chris Martin do his thing. Don’t like U2? Sure. But they are playing like a million shows in a row at the sphere or whatever it’s called, and are clearly one of the most iconic acts or the last 50 years.

It’s so easy for people to pot everything that’s popular. (I mean, I should know, I’m a gen X and have spent my life potting things that are popular. Including watching a million people potting football) Guess what. Gen X is full of ####s who think they can tell other people what to like, and continue to do so, because clearly they have better taste than anyone else. I mean we’re all just boomers once we get to 25 aren’t we.

No theres bad music.

Ive tried. Absolutely terrible and out of key vocally, struggling to master basic chords.

Would never record but i do wish to one day be competent enough to be asked to sing a second song at kareoke

Or those people just like bad music. They have poor taste. They’re allowed to like it.

I’m gen x and it was clear to me that most everything that generation was making contemporary music wise was horribly inferior to what had come before. We’ve been on the decline for decades. The internet and the domination of midi have just made the shitt slide slicker.

Hot take!
