can someone explain...

RocketsGirl

so I have to ask...why do people hate Nickleback so much?

Seriously I do not understand. Sure their lyrics can be a bit corny sometimes but so are a LOT of other bands out there. However, Nickleback seems to bring out a whole other level of hatred.

So can someone explain this?

*and yes I am a Nickleback fan. I listen to all kinds of music but I do really love them.

*raises hand*

Big fan here too.

I don't like them... Had no idea many people hated them... Since they obviously still make hit songs

Same reason they hate Rick Astley? I actually like him. :-)

I think it's just something funny that people say. I bet a lot of the Nickelback haters have a secret room in their houses that is floor to ceiling posters and CDs of Nickelback. :laugh:

Honestly, though, I never realized that band was anything more than a flash in the pan, one hit wonder type of thing until I started seeing all the Internet buzz.

it's because they're hilariously awful. they have become the symbol of all hilariously awful rock bands the same way justin beiber is the symbol of all hilariously awful pop-teen-idols

^^This. Their lyrics are uber cliche. Their instrumental abilities are severely lacking, and they are just...generic. As someone once said, Nickelback is like that annoying guy down the street who hasn't showered in three months and walks around with a strong sense of pride. He's the guy you want to move away from.

well musically speaking they really arnt that good of a band I mean their guitarist isnt worth a **** I know so many people in their teens that are way better than he is, he doesnt really DO anything, and they just capitolize on peoples emotions they just sing songs that make people remember sad times and stuff which everyone has felt so they win, their music isnt really original or anything and they dont seem to put much work into it, just a simple riff and some lyrics that sound like a 16yr old girl going through a breakup just wrote it

You win for the longest run-on sentence, EVER.

I was having problems with bad fatigue and motivation when my doctors discovered I had low testosterone. After weeks of testing with no idea why it had dropped to almost nothing, my doc began asking me about my personal life, hobbies, and activity. He finally figured out that the 15-20 minutes a day I spent in the car with my wife listening to her new Nickleback CD was destroying my testosterone output. He gave me a note ordering my wife to stop playing it around me or I would waste away to nothing.

I like em...I don't give a flip.

Variety is the spice of life. What an incredibly horrible world we would live in if we all listened to the same music.

It's really just an ongoing inside internet joke. *shrug*

omg this explains my chronic fatigue!

I've been listening to Nickleback with my clients (who have MR and therefore LOVE Nickleback, and oh, i only WISH i was joking about that), at least twice a week.

I'm so relieved.

The problem is a lot of people like generic...

I don't like them but I don't hate them either. I think the hate comes from them being a boring radio band. A lot of the hipsters hate them because Pat, the drummer from the Black Keys singled them out in an interview saying that Nickelback is what's wrong with today's music.

I love 3 Doors Down!

Their songs kind sound line this ^

I mainly hate them because their songs are so overplayed, and they just sound like ever other lame rock band out there.

I think they are ok... My husband can't stand them thou. Working in Pro Audio, we both get a different view of the artists true talents. I think their good. Nothing wrong with them. But I do see something wrong with artists that SING and DANCE. Hey People, if have to play tracks on stage when your performing....... Maybe you shouldn't claim to be able to do this, since you really can't.

You know alot of that show is the "Audio Technicians" doing their magic during the show. You know how many electronic devises that are used during a show? Tons..... Try unplugged, for artists true talents. Give me a harmonizer, a mic, a cute outfit.... Hey Im as good Britney Spears... Not... Haaah. I need the bod and the dance moves too. Haah. I think that band is fine.

I love that one. I've seen it as "Things Rick Astley will never do:".
