    I met a blind guy who wanted to experience a concert, so I took him to hear Coldplay. He said, “Now I wish I was also deaf.”

        I live about 10km from a big festival site. We could hear Metallica playing the other year.

        I’ve been to hundreds and do have the tinnitus but it doesn’t much bother me at all. I rarely go anymore because of unrelated reasons, but it was all worth it.

          I worry because I hear it gets progressively worse even after you’ve stopped exposing yourself to extreme volumes. I raw-dogged two or three shows that were way too loud to be at without protection and that was enough for one ear to have significantly worse hearing than the other, that’s what finally made me start using those musician earplugs. But apparently I can expect the ringing and loss of hearing to continue getting worse anyways…

    My spouse was admitted to hospital for two weeks and had several geriatric roommates. The nurse asked one of them if she knew where she was, and she yelled “IN SATAN’S ASSHOLE”.

    Huh didn’t realize people hate Coldplay so much. Not for me, but I didn’t think they were particularly bad.

      I could be comatose, damn near brain dead, almost lifeless, and if Rhianna starts singing country I will jump out of the medical bed and throw myself out the nearest window to get away from it.

        Not a country fan, or not a Rihanna country fan? I’m neither, really, but curious to hear from people with real opinions on the genre, etc

      For a while they were like Maroon 5 level over exposed. I don’t think I’ve heard a song from them in a while though.

        To be honest that level of overexposure doesn’t happen if you totally suck. It was cool to hate on them for a while though. You know, just like it’s cool to hate anything mainstream or basic, which is honestly a pretty basic way to view art in general. Like literally all it takes to participate is to notice that something is popular.

        Edit: Although to be honest the way media companies love to milk songs to death is super annoying and makes you hate the music. You see it today with trending tiktok sounds. I’d blame this more than the quality of the music.

    For a short moment I thought she was referring to the life support.

    Doesn’t make the joke funnier per se, but a lot darker

    My grandpa had a stroke and the various Mormon friends neighbors that never said a word to this coffee drinking sailor suddenly wanted to put church choir music on.

    He likes Mozart and I will bury you in the backyard if you try

        I’m just indifferent to Coldplay and can’t even remember who Maroon 5 is. I’ve also never listened to Billie Eilish, but she has the worst case of resting bitch face I think I’ve ever seen in my life.

        People hate Billie Eilish?? I don’t go out of my way to listen to their stuff, but that latest song “lunch” has been getting a lot of radio play, and it’s fuckin hot, like what’s not to like
