New style of r'n'b, garage, drum and bass etc etc.
Coldplay are on EMIs label, therefore not 'Indie'. They're basically pop - popular music.  |
But Pop music is usually applied to the easy and cheap style of music (i.e Spice girls, busted etc etc). What are these bands classed as if they were not popular? Pop is usually just manufactured music. Also I have heard soft rock songs, they are classed us rock even though they are not heavy. U2 and Oasis are examples
