And this is exactly why your posts annoy me. You act so terribly arrogant. You see me defending MX and calling you out over the way you are going around trashing it, and you assume I'm a fan girl.

I don't "blindly worship" anything Coldplay does. I'm yet to see someone on the forum give a harsher review of X&Y than I have. I rate X&Y much lower than you rate MX.

But of course, you don't really care in taking the effort into actually looking at a person and seeing what they think, you just prefer to call us "fan girls" because we get annoyed when someone likes you just rolls in and trashes everyone without offering any discussion value at all.

"PARADISE ISN'T EVEN A SONG!"

Is classic example of one of your posts. That's not opinion, that's not insightful, that's just baiting people into confronting you.

And you wonder why some people take issue with your posts.

I understand completely why people don't like the new album. I understand completely why you don't. The artists you chose for your thirty best songs of the year were all in the same field. You clearly aren't a fan of the type of music Coldplay make right now.

And that's totally fine. I don't care that you hate the album, at all. If I cared if people didn't like the album I wouldn't get any sleep - because there is someone on here expressing negative opinions literally ever hour. However 90% of them actually have a grasp their own egos and manage to do so thoughtfully and respectfully.

What I care about is the way you go about doing it and how rude you are. This post proves exactly what I'm talking about. Calling me a fangirl and assuming I don't listen to any music other than Coldplay.

And don't say just because you weren't directly talking to me doesn't mean you weren't targeting me. You clearly were - and many other people you would call "fan girls" who I will stick up for too.

A lot of posts? I've seen one person say that the whole time I have been here, and that is JoeCortazzo. The reason why I remember was because I was blown away by the fact he only listens to one band.

This thread is insufferable. It simply needs to die.

I'm going to continue hating just because it annoys you guys so much. I've been on this forum for several years and joined during a time where I had been a longtime fan but had wavering confidence. But I stuck with them for the time being because I still saw redeeming qualities in them. Those qualities are gone.

Wake up, guys. There's nothing wrong with still liking Coldplay, but I see a lot of posts around these parts about how Coldplay is the only band people listen to, and that clouds your judgment immensely.

And yes, I am better than you, deal with it.

As a man who listens to nearly every genre of music out there, and therefore has an easily comparable range of taste in music to yourself: Coldplay is still my favorite band, and MX is some of their best work ever. I realize that you're from SoCal, where for the most part half the population listens to indie stuff and the other half listens exclusively to pop, and you can't risk appearing to sympathize with anything even faintly resembling the latter.

But that just doesn't excuse your insufferable pretentiousness, which seems to be merely an affectation to make you appear "cool". All it actually does is make you unlikable. Now, just go ahead and admit that you listen to MX on repeat every time you're alone, and everything will be fine.

As they say, "can't we all just get along?"
