CALE: I feel like they get all this shade thrown their way due to their ability to write catchy songs with a hook that sinks into your brain with what seems relative ease.
JOHN: This hate is one of the earliest cases of how internet mob mentality was manifested. With songs on high rotation on the radio, they became an easy target. 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.

Kroger has a great voice and they are excellent musicians. Face it, their good and everyone is jealous. Kroeger has an incredible and unique voice and I love their songs. The issue is that they are purely a product of the record industry. Their music is completely unoriginal, recycled rock riffs designed to appeal to the average rock audience. It is an insult to the seasoned rock music fan that they think they can appeal to our lowest common denominator.
Fact is even the worst of Nickelbacks songs had a million more times the talent of all of rap music ever created. What an incredibly inappropriate and broadly-generalizing comment. Imho, so many people claim to hate Nickelback merely for the reason it makes them feel included.
Call it the Bandwagon Effect, but people gravitate towards what makes them feel vindicated and liked. Smell that? Pants on fire. Pants on fire everywhere…. Or country songs, let alone other rock songs. Juke Box Hero? Every rap song not about misogyny? Come on that is a lame reason to hate. Well said. Not a huge fan but they have some good songs. Forget hating Nickelback; hate the bandwagon. Lost in a myth that they still have it after all these years. Very well said Brandy!!
Not that Nickleback is any of these but they hugely successful. Paul… your articles are so stupid. You are being delusional with this Nickelback thing. This is a question i have asked myself many times over the last couple of years. Glad someone actually took the time to figure it out…even though its still a mystery.
As for you asdasd, you sound like a prick. Just saw them in concert and they rocked it. Besides, I think most hate for them stems from the anti-immigrant sentement that exists in the U. Nice try making this a political thing. I hate them. They suck. Chad Kroeger is an arrogant prick. He had the nerve to call Slipknot and Stone Sour Nickelback light.
Both bands are more talented and neither band sound like Nickelback garbage. Nickelback reminds me of Creed. Overhyped and overrated. HOW do they remind you of Creed?? Creed has two major hits, Nickelback has….. They are also the 11th best selling band in history. Creeds 2 hits were good, but there is no comparison to Nickelback. You have obviously jumped upon the haters bandwagon with nothing left to stand on to back up your hatred.
The real reason nickel back sucks is this: the name of the band is douchey for starters. They also bought guitar riffs from dime bag Darrel. Which is kinda lame too. They are the epitome of commercial generic shit rock. It seems the true dislike stems from being too popular and when a rant starts it is perpetuated by social media. People started hating on nickelback for the two songs with the same music behind them. Seriously you must be a dumb fucking brit to think that has anything to do with it.
Those music is good. I could not stand them long before I found out that many many people felt the same way. However, I am waiting for more to join the hated music scene. Taylor Swift, justin beiber, selena gomez, Miley cyrus, staind. I might have to start my own site. People who hate them are the ones that are so insecure about life. They have to join every latest trend in a pathetic display of trying to look cool.
Rock music sucks, the only one close to the great bands of 60s 70s are pearl jam, and chile peppers. Just saw Nickelback in a packed outdoor concert in Foxboro Mass.
They thoroughly entertained their fans, not one bottle or can was thrown! I even saw a few families, moms, dads and teenaged kids. These guys are savvy, talented, handsome, and uber successful musicians. THAT is why they are hated. Their the epitome of a perfect Rock band. They write, they compose, they perform, they harmonize , they are funny, relatable, band members are good looking, and their songs have a message! They keep their noses clean, you never hear about any members of the band as tabloid fodder.
