Why is most of Coldplay´s fanbase female?

Destrokk · 27-12-2011, 09:36 PM

Why do you think that is?

Im bored.

Coeurli · 27-12-2011, 09:37 PM

Maybe because of the importance of feelings and emotions in the songs ? Maybe girls are less afraid to show they love that about Coldplay.
But maybe I'm wrong.

Funny, because my 24-year-old niece likes Coldplay. But her boyfriend and a friend of his, they love Coldplay even more and are - like me - going to see them in Copenhagen on 28.8. So nice that it is not only females who like Coldplay.

I said most, and in real life (not in the internet) I´ve met more than 5 boys that like Coldplay but usually only the singles or something and just maybe and one girl but only a few songs. I´m saying this because most of the forum members are girls and very few are male. Atleast those who post in the Coldplay section.

I feel because the music is very femenine lol

not know I am fangirly of Coldplay

Destrokk · 27-12-2011, 09:50 PM

Ok.

InvaderXyl42 · 27-12-2011, 10:04 PM

Probably because of their critics claiming them to be 'whiny', this usually deters guys more than girls. Also, Parachutes was a very quiet, sensitive album, so they established themselves as a quiet, sensitive band, and I bet that gay joke from 40 year old virgin has something to do with it

Coldplay is for both men and women and prefers neither over the other. My friend thinks Chris is gay. I said are you f'ing stupid, he's married to Paltrow. He said it's for the money. I'm like...no. Coming from a Mumford and Sons fan he shouldn't be talked. He hates them lol. And im a guy...im not a fangirl on these forums...although i sometimes act like one when they get mentioned

Twisted mind · 27-12-2011, 11:28 PM

Because most of the Coldplay members are male . . . no wait, ALL of them are

Male+Female, fits perfectly, doesn't it? And because their music is quite emotional, I believe that's also a thing loads of females fall for (they're not bad ass/cool enough to appeal to most of the male part of listeners)

Oh well whatever, I'm tired and sick and meh

Tell your friend Chris makes more money than Gwyneth. Also Coldplay could be way richer if they didn't reject advertisement deals. Money definitely has nothing to do with it.

Prospector · 27-12-2011, 11:36 PM

I don't think that's true, most Coldplay fans I know face-to-face are male, the girls usually like the old emotional singles (Shiver, Yellow, Trouble, The Scientist and Fix You) but that's all. But maybe that feeling you have it's because of theire "not cool" fame.

The only man Chris would go gay for is Jonny Buckland

Coldplay are considered to be chick music. I think they're seen as weak because they write sweet songs about feelings and shit.

Prospector · 28-12-2011, 12:07 AM

^ Yeah, but they also write Violet Hill, Politik, Major Minus, Viva La Vida and all those kick ass killing tunes...sad they are known mostly for the light songs

The rains coming down, the wrist bands aren't working or Will-he's benched pressed too much and his abs have burst. I don't know what the problems might be, Guy's just become too handsome to be lit properly or Jonny's fingers have begun to move too fast and he can play too many notes. Whatever the problem is, I always enjoy watching it get solved before 9pm.
