I feel like this is revisionist. To elder millennials and gen X, basically that entire generation of radio felt like it was formulated to pour salt in our post-grunge wounds, and Coldplay was a particularly visible example of that sanitized, focus grouped corporate influence.

Yes, but the point was, when Coldplay got big, the music scene was larger. There actually existed adult oriented pop and Coldplay was targeting those stations. There would have been a time when Fiona Apple and Coldplay shared radio time on the same station.

Fiona Apple still makes music, she just isn't on the radio. Coldplay largely became a more youth oriented act to stay on the radio.
