Why is Nickelback one the most hated bands?

[Kabamaro]

Never gave them a chance beside their radio hits

Listening to them now on Spotify

Their Music sounds good srs

[Donny2Yucky]

because the average person is an idiot who mindlessly repeats what other people say to fit in?

[KingNothing95]

Hating them is basically a giant meme. Not terrible but not amazing, just an solid band that's not very innovative.

[Ironmanlet]

The internet told me to.

All the cool kids are doing it.


Man I have been to a chit ton of concerts and live performances. NB was by far one of the best IMHO.

For comparison honorable mentions include Flyleaf, Bullet for my Valentine, Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Three Days Grace, Rascal Flatts, George Straight etc.

[rocketfish]

it basically just turned into a meme to hate nickelback no matter what.. they were one of the first meme, before meme was even a thing.

also if you like rock/alternative you are not allowed to like anyone mainstream cause its all "chit music" and the music your friend found of a garage band is 100 leaps better than anything on earth but in reality it sux balls, but you gotta be a sheep so your friends think you are cool.

same goes with the hardcore lyricist rap people.

[Glutebrahhh]

Because they are canadian?

I never understood this actually. Was it just a meme?

[ninetynine8]

this ones a banger

[SteveSanders]

One of the biggest bands in the world for the longest time but apparently nobody liked them.

[azzspankr]

So was Rush, Triumph, Bachman Turner Overdrive, and Just Bieber but they all rock

[rocketfish]

yea, because people like em, its just a "Thing" to hate them in public and love em in private

[steeperdolphin]

Every song sounds alike.

[JaundiceBiscuit]

First couple CDs were actually good. Same with Creed then they just got stale. Those first 2 Creed album rock.

[MrBourbon]

because the average person is an idiot who mindlessly repeats what other people say to fit in?

Yep.

I don't hate nickelback I just don't care for their music. If you write your own songs and play your own instruments, I'm cool. I don't listen to them since I don't enjoy it, lol @ caring beyond that.

[Supaduck0]

They're fukking terrible. Everything they do is generic, bland and a blatant attempt at commercial success. They're like Nirvana minus anything good about them.

[AlamedaBoy]

So good. Classic low inhib feel good music before everything became pretentiously lame. Good generic hits.

[ninetynine8]

I don't even listen to them but music elitists are the worse. I know theory and many artists try to be edgy for the sake of it and end up sounding worse.. it's just cringe

[keyboardworkout]

Nickelback is good but Loverboy is the greatest band of all time.

Spoiler!

not srs

"A blatant attempt at commercial success"


Well, no ch!t. Is there something wrong with writing music that people will purchase and enjoy? Like every other band that has a song played on the airwaves??



And don't give me that 'it's about being an artist' BS. If it was just about 'art' bands would play in their basements and never need to sell or record.

[blueberryboy]

They ain't bad .outta Canada too where I'm from

I like that song think it might be called photograph

Where he is like " this is where I went to school "

Just a good reminiscent song about the town he grew up in .

[JoeDelts]

If this guy wasn't the lead singer they wouldn't get all the hate. Truthfully I don't even know what he's done to warrant it but there does some to be something you can't quite put your finger on that makes him automatically unlikable. Thrown in the fact that he's rich beyond belief and swimming in prime hbb's and the hate is only going to be amplified.

True, and that's kind of funny because mainstream music is mainstream for a reason. Most indie music sucks

[KingNothing95]

One of the GOAT party songs, take it over todays trash tier rap that seems so popular

Yeah really tho .
Who the fk out there isn't making a blatant attempt at comerical success

Unless they are happy to be local jokers and perform at their local trash bar every Friday night

[guitarwar241]

Nickelback is bland, generic, and extremely boring. That being said, you could stick them into a hat with all of the other bro rock bands and they'd all be in contention for being the worst.

[DrugsToGetBig]

Because they are canadian?

I never understood this actually. Was it just a meme?

started by 4chan neckbeards




nickelback is solid af (ded fkn Srs)

[TomWanks]

They are pretty popular in Russia, and before cuckvid they would play shows here at least once a year.

I always lmao @ Russians srs over this because they have no idea that they are a massive memeband in the US.

You're just in it for the money!

No chit idiots. Like would you go up to some guy working at Chipotle and be like "YOU'RE JUST DOING THIS FOR THE MONEY!!" Of course they fukking are.

Making tons of money doing something you love... isn't that the dream?

[PimpinisEasy]

It's because they're too mainstream for the alternative crowd.... they hate the fact that regular people could listen to it and like it.

[nielk]

i found their songs kind of boring, not my type really. for hating them, i got no reason. I think its mostly a meme at this point
