“I really thought he loved me… turns out he was just coldplaying me the whole time.”

The Coldplay effect

The Coldplay effect is named for the band Coldplay, and is used to describe something that is iconic and respected, but generic and only the favourite thing of a small number of people.
"Spaghetti bolognese is a pretty average meal when you think about it, but so many people enjoy it."

"You could say it's affected by the Coldplay effect."
