Why are they so big with Christians? I’ve seen that too and can’t explain it
Comment on How Coldplay actually sounds

From what I understand, Coldplay was what played in suburban minivans 20 years ago when the drivers were driving their kids to taekwondo practice.
Also, apparently they’re the one band that’s not officially Christian Rock that’s huge with US Christians.

Because they are generic and don’t curse.

20 years ago they were what teenage sad-boys were listening to when they got bored of Radiohead and The Postal Service (and I mean that in the nicest way possible). Then after X&Y they kinda became electronic/synthpop for the clinically depressed.

I thought that was Snow Patrol.

I got the impression they were more of what bro-dudes listened to when they were sad rather than what sad-boys were listening to, but only exposure to them was Chasing Cars. I got the impression they were closer to The All-American Rejects than, say, The Shins or Interpol or any of the other shit I was listening to when I was my most insufferable teenage self.

I thought Interpol was music for girls. Only people I knew that listened to them were girls who worked for Red Bull.

Um… what the fuck. This is literally how I was initially exposed to Coldplay.
Out of touch, suburban mom driving kids around on errands and dropping them off at their extracurriculars.
