Log out. US Markets Loading Nickelback has an awesome sound, a terrific look and boy could they play!!! They have the sound of classic rock with a slightly modern twist. What about Metallica, Creed…. Give it a break and sit back, pump up the volume and listen.
I think their music rocks and seen them in concert a couple of times. Awesome band. The hatred of Nickelback is more mob-mentality than logic or taste at this point. A bad song that made it big?
Bad hair? They have some good songs. They have some bad songs. The fake hatred of them is just stupid though. Highly agree. They are perfect after a way too late night at a bar or something. I know other bands fit this bill, they just happen to do it quite well. Lets make Nickelback great again. A great big Nickelback comeback. It will be BIG. Very big. And great. It will be a great, big, Nickelback comeback.
And you know what? And it will be great. So great. We are going to make Nickelback great again. Too many people are the bandwagon sort. The band is not bad at all. They have a lot of memorable music. People just like to get on board to hate. It is really sad. Throwing bottles and rocks is just pathetic. Grown people acting like children throwing a tantrum.
I dont hate this band, in fact, like a couple of their songs, but also dont love them. Its probobly the most white trash song played, since anything musical by Kid Rock. And, it got me thinking that thats why people may dislike them so much.
Not really sure how, but they put off a real jerk face, white trash vibe sometimes. Am i wrong. Actually, people who hate Nickleback jumped on a hate bandwagon. Rock is a genre that people like, just like rap. It is a genre that we still enjoy, just as people like classic elevator music.
It will be with us one hundred years from now. Rock stars of the past have done commercials. Nickleback is hated because there is a mass of people out there who enjoy hate.
I like to hate. It feels good. Even more fun is when a hundred million people are on your side because all of the sudden your hate feels justified which feels really good because that makes you justified in your hate.
As a rock enthusiast for many years, I still scratch my head at the Nickleback hate. They were a good band. True, Photograph was overplayed, but they had other good songs. Anyone over the age of thirty who listens to Photograph is taken back to their past for a spell of reminiscing. It could have been any band, but it became a meme and with the acceleration in Facebook and other platforms.
As younger people are the biggest consumers of music, it goes without saying, they are the most fickle with ensuring they are on the right side of a trend. That would be fine if they could back it up with good lyrics. Thanks to corporate radio, you got to hear that every day and every hour no matter where you happened to be.
It just felt like the bar was already so much higher. There were many more responses, theories, and a few unhelpful screeds, but you get the idea. Meanwhile, Nickelback endures as do their legions of fans. Alan Cross is a broadcaster with Q and World Canada Local.

The main argument people make for hating Nickelback is that their music is bland and generic, and all of their songs sound the same. But this is true for so many musical artists, so how did Nickelback achieve this viral level of hatred? How did this all start? Screengrab: Google It started—believe it or not—with their first record deal.
In , Nickelback signed with Roadrunner Records, a predominantly extreme metal label. There was a culture around this label as there generally was around labels during this time, and earlier , and Nickelback even though their early music was a little less top 40 and little more heavy did not fit in.
Right off the bat, they were mocked mercilessly by most members of the metal community, who were generally the only ones hearing their music at the time. People were also disgruntled by how much time and resources Roadrunner was putting into the band. The promo sampler the label sent out to radio deejays and other industry personnel led off with Nickelback and went on to feature new songs by Slipknot, Machinehead and Nightwish. One of these things was not like the other.

It was the only album to sell more than two million copies worldwide that year.
Around that same time, something interesting was happening that might have subconsciously turned millions of people into Nickelback haters.
