The group were also credited with ushering "in a fresh timbre of songwriting" during a time British music "struggled to define itself" and "bringing the sound of mainstream rock towards something more gentle and melodic", while their musical reinventions allowed them enjoy success in the [[Album era#2010s–present: post-album era and the streaming age|post-album era and the streaming age]]; expand the roster of [[#Creative inspiration|acts inspired by them]]; and produce "a rich multi-genre legacy".<ref name="JAVERI">{{Cite web |date=23 October 2021 |title=Twenty Years On, Coldplay Refuses To Take Its Voice Seriously |url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/twenty-years-on-coldplay-refuses-to-take-its-voice-seriously-their-versatility-and-collabs-have-kept-the-band-alive-10067761.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20220716170016/https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/twenty-years-on-coldplay-refuses-to-take-its-voice-seriously-their-versatility-and-collabs-have-kept-the-band-alive-10067761.html |archive-date=16 July 2022 |access-date=16 July 2022 |website=Firstpost}}</ref> This crossover appeal can be evidenced in styles like [[Sertanejo music|sertanejo]] and [[Hip hop music|hip hop]], the former through songwriting and the latter with how acts frequently sample and reference their works.

Coldplay's [[#Public image|polarising image]] has been a subject of analysis by multiple publications as well, paving the way for musicians with similar profiles. Furthermore, they have impacted arena rock shows by making their fans a focal point, which included using interactive [[Xyloband|LED wristbands]] worn by attendees and endorsing accessibility efforts. With the [[Music of the Spheres World Tour]] (2022–24), the band pioneered sustainability in live entertainment, reducing [[Greenhouse gas emissions|CO2 emissions]] by 47% compared to [[A Head Full of Dreams|their previous concert run]]. ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' ranked them among the most impactful climate action leaders in the world as a result. Additionally, Coldplay's commercial success led them to achieve [[#Economic power|economic power]] in the music industry, uplifting British music global exports and instigating debates on the viability of [[Music streaming service|streaming services]]. The band were also praised for their marketing tactics, with their use of the Internet for promotional purposes being considered revolutionary in the early 21st century.
