Why Do People Hate, and Make Jokes About, 'Nickelback'?

I don't get it. What am I missing here?

Formulaic, uninspired garbage-rock.

@HypnoChode facts. Right up there with Kings of Leon and Creed.

@TheFragile I like a couple Kings of Leon songs, but I totally agree with the Creed comparison.

@HypnoChode Just terrible. All of that type of music. Butt-rock.

I'll never respect or like them because their music is basic, and it's all power chords, and just about anyone could play it. Their music lacks depth and connection with me. I hate how they're produced, and I hate that they make so much money with little to no artistic merit. They're 5 instruments away from being The Backstreet Boys. But they're still better than the Blackeyed Peas, so I'll give them that. And at least BEP aren't R. Kelly. That POS deserves no love.
@SnailTeeth but I agree that even though I believe that Limp Bizkit, Creed, and Nickelback are the trifecta of suck ass music… people should enjoy what they enjoy, period. I also don’t like Kid Rock or ICP. And in fact Kod Rocks recent stuff is such horrible garbage it literally hurts my ears. He may be giving Limp Bizkit a run for worst of all time.

@DarkHeaven Nono, I was just practicing consideration.
@SnailTeeth I get that. I do that too. I mean I really don’t like them at all but I don’t want to make other people feel bad for their poor taste. It’s not their fault. Shit be confusing sometimes.

Because they aren't very entertaining.

@DarkHeaven being better than Limp Bizkit is an extremely low bar to clear. The average musician/band could step right over that bar without tripping. You might want to consider a better comparison. 🤣

As to my personal tastes, I hate them. Along with Creed & Limp Bizkit. There's too much great music out there to waste my time with such mediocrity as those three bands.
@bluesmanmark they are indeed the holy trifecta of suck ass music. lol
@bluesmanmark I been saying it forever. lol

Funnily enough, my daughter and I just had this conversation at some point over the weekend. Neither of us gets it, either.

Who knows? It’s just music at the end of the day, no one’s forcing anyone to listen 🤷🏼

Anyone can critique. People also poke fun at McDonalds ... Crocs ... NASCAR ... Hooters ... Taylor Swift ... on and on it goes. Yet all are wildly successful.

I'm with you maybe - I enjoy a lot of their tunes. And apparently all those who did cameos in 'Rock Star' enjoy them as well.

Yeah there's a lot worse out there for sure
To me they are super boring and unoriginal. But I like Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift and people dog on them too. If you like them you like them, anything is better than that Limp Bizkit garbage. It’s the worst. Literal torture to my ear drums.

They've just always been a huge running internet meme since the start of the internet basically.

I broke my finger in a vending machine trying to get my nickel back.
chasingThursday · 36-40, M
Because apparently it’s the cool thing to do
