According to my emo/indie music snob friends, I'm supposed to look down on them. I Know how I know I'm not gay, though.
I remembered reading this a while ago so I did a quick search for it. I don't have any clue as to these guy's personalities, so they may be poking fun at what lots of other people say about them. But it's still an accurate analogy.

According to a Seattle Police Department report, a copy of which you can find below, Lindsey Lawrence, 21, assaulted the unnamed victim while he was performing with "two other subjects" at Changes Tavern, where patrons sing karaoke Wednesday and Thursday night from 9 PM until 1 AM. When the assault victim launched into Coldplay's "Yellow," Lawrence allegedly told the man that his "singing sucked" and that the song "f-ing sucked." She then grabbed at the man's microphone and "pushed him and punched him in order to get him to stop singing," cops reported. When employees escorted Lawrence from the bar, she "became very violent" and struck several other people (and was hostile towards police and fire department medics who responded to the scene). Lawrence was booked into the Seattle Correctional Facility, where she is currently being held on an investigation of assault rap. It is unclear why Coldplay's music apparently made Lawrence snap, though a famous June 2005 New York Times appraisal by Jon Pareles may offer an insight. The critic called the British group "the most insufferable band of the decade," adding that, "the lyrics can make me wish I didn't understand English.
that woman is my hero! if i was her lawyer i would just make the jury listen to coldplay for 5 minutes - there is no way they would convict.
You know how I know you're gay? Yeah, I know it was already mentioned, but I can't be the only one who thinks of that joke EVERY SINGLE TIME I HEAR COLDPLAY.
