I, like many other actual music lovers, sit around and listen to music. Just - listen to it. And to hold the entire of my attention requires something many magnitudes of order more interesting than jangly hooks. Last night I put on Ghost's "In Stormy Nights" and listened to the whole thing while lying on the floor of my office with all the lights off. There's a 28 minute long track of mostly inchoate noise in there! The noise tells many things but none of them are on the order of "let's have fun" and "I like a girl and she doesn't like me." So you would hate it, don't even bother.

Here's the problem: nobody who actually likes music will have any reaction to Coldplay more positive than "lukewarm" or "will tolerate it." Because it's shit music. You are in the majority of humans in your love of the easy tune, but you're not to be ranked with people who can listen to or judge or enjoy music.
