U2 are the pinnacle of what music is now, and just because that doesn't fit your preteen defnition of what music is (fast angry and loud) doesn't mean they're bad. Ever noticed that the "bad" music they make is better than 90% of the "great" music other bands make these days?
I hate stupid people.
Having an opinion makes him stupid?
Let's bring back the Hitler post you made a little while back...
Hell, a "stupid person", i.e. someone who likes metal but perhaps not U2 could argue that you're ignorant and stubborn.
You're afraid of new music, you listen exclusively to old music (soft rock in particular) and just reject new music without even listening to it properly, and just hides behind the principle of "a golden age of music", probably because you think that makes you cool because you aren't mainstream.
Newsflash: NO.
Jesus Christ, you're like my 60 year old dad.
Wake up, this is the year 2009, not the 60s.
Oh but I don't reject new music. I reject boring music. It's the same reason I don't like garbage 80's hair metal bands like Def Leppard and Whitesnake. They, Coldplay, Soulja Boy and their ilk are all clumped into the same category of bad music. U2 has stood the test of time as some artists from this generation undoubtedly will (perhaps The Strokes, The Flaming Lips, Weezer, Eminem...). Coldplay will not be among that group.
Your assumptions about my musical tastes are also false. My library is expansive (200g, not counting Vinyl) and my tastes broad. Not liking Coldplay doesn't make me stuck in the past.

Oh yea, I totaly forgot that U2 and Eminem are the best music for everyone's taste and that if someone doesn't like something you deem great, they are ignorant metalhead idiots.
I think that the best part of this thread is where SporeCc violently bashes coldplay for having songs that sound similar while freaking out when others point out that his favorite band of all time, u2, does the exact same thing.
