There is possibly an element of tall poppy syndrome from people who don't like their music and cannot understand their popular success (aka Creed, Nickelback and Swift).

Or they don't like DHL.

These takes on coldplay sound a lot like the current output of U-know who-2

Complete with insufferable frontman

[mclaincausey]

Yeah U2 is insufferable. I think Achtung Baby was the last one I enjoyed at least a little and Joshua Tree was their pinnacle.

Like, we're taking a load of shit today on FB for making clothes for tall, slim people

As a short fat guy, I am a happy token diversity customer

I liked them when they first came out but now
their music and stage presence is nearly indistinguishable from the likes of Maroon 5. If you showed me a recent performance of theirs then told me they had just won American Idol I’d believe you. Their music is just shitty.

Same.

Had to throw this out there…What does Bono say after sex?…Was it good for U2!

[Giles]

Oh dear....

100%. Good analysis Matt.

Maroon 5 is a good comparison.

[Bridger]

Rather than Coldplay, I saw Soft Play tonight. A little different.

I watched this with the girls when they were little. I still haven’t watched all the Roald Dahl shorts on Netflix yet. Just the first one.

[Matt]

If the kids haven’t watched it yet may I very enthusiastically recommend watching John Mullaney and The Sack Lunch Bunch on Netflix. My kids fucking love it.
