Everyone Says That Everything Sounds Like Coldplay Now Now

Perhaps it's the same irrational need to defend commercial 'indie' music (after all, it doesn't need defending, it's totally dominant) as described in the post below which prevents me from finding Mitch Benn's 'hilarious' parody Everything Sounds Like Coldplay Now particularly amusing. Or maybe it's just that it isn't good enough to make up for such a completely lazy premise; everyone has already written about the load of new bands like Embrace, Snow Patrol and, according to a particularly chronologically confused New York Times, Travis who have apparently sprung up to replicate Coldplay's sound. Singing a song about this which sounds more accurately like Coldplay than any of them have come close to managing just doesn't seem to work.
