Best-selling band Coldplay has been running a contest which challenges fans to create a video accompaniment to its tune Lost.
Among those submitting entries is education software-oriented website GamingKrib.
While their contest video is essentially a commercial for their business, it also pulls in some fascinating quotes and stats regarding how young people relate to digital tech, gaming and education.

DorthLous: Passed 1.5M$. And I'd also say that Brutal Legend is far from being a bad game. I just think it was a few levels under what people expected from the people working on the project.02/11/2012 - 8:25am

Technogeek: Brutal Legend wasn't bad so much as "marketing had no idea how the game actually played", causing it to suffer accordingly.02/10/2012 - 10:38pm

Re: Coldplay Video Contest Entry Touts Educational Value of
I thought this was about some entry to a Coldplay contest. Not how agonizingly terrible Coldplay apparently is to someone?
I'm going to be a hypocrite by commentating on Coldplay. Sometimes music is more about enjoyment than constantly pushing boundaries and evolving culture? I mean, there's a reason things become "cookie cutter"--the original pushed boundaries, influenced other musicians, and became the new popular thing.
Re: Coldplay Video Contest Entry Touts Educational Value of
I liked the music in this video.
I don't see why you all think this music sucks. Not all recent music is Britney Spears and crap.

This music is cookie-cutter. You can hear the same song with different lyrics if you spend five minutes on youtube.
Re: Coldplay Video Contest Entry Touts Educational Value of
Why I have the feeling that there will be a shitload of indie f*** bashing Coldplay ONLY because it's mainstream?

Re: Coldplay Video Contest Entry Touts Educational Value of
You're right, it has nothing to do with the fact that the music is absolute garbage.
Face it, playing powerchords with a few solos and a catchy riff or two isn't music. It's lowbrow garbage.
What would Hendrix say?
Re: Coldplay Video Contest Entry Touts Educational Value of
Someone needs to make a video that mocks them for being so fucking cookie-cutter.
Seriously, I hate most music today. It's all the same thing, with people who look and sound exactly the same.
In summation, somebody make a video mocking them and submit it. Please.

That is one of the reasons I stopped listening to popular music. I listen more to indie music mostly cultural type stuff though.
