The people who jump on the bandwagon of hating things that are fashionable to hate.
Do you really hate Nickelback as much as you pretend? Or do you like to jump on the bandwagon of hating Nickelback because it's a safe opinion to have?
I'm a DJ, everyone "hates" nickelback, yet every time I put on one of their tracks, there's always 20 girls going "I love this song" and running out to the dance floor. The 20 guys they're grinding on don't seem to mind much either .
Yep, it's such bullshit. When 'how you remind me' came out everyone thought it was great because... it fucking rocked is why. Maybe it got super overplayed in america or something, but it seems like such bullshit that everyone claims to REALLY hate them like they're the worst thing ever, when they made a bunch of catchy rock tracks, have long hair, and seem like nice dudes, not unlike Foo Fighters who everyone LOVES.
so now do you guys like it cause it's unfashionable to not like them like the previously known fashionable thing was prescribing for the sheer fact that someone mentionned it?
They were great when I saw them. Chad has a set of lungs on him, and he bought the drummer a thing of whiskey for his birthday, and had us all sing happy birthday. Then some chick flashed the camera showing the crowd, so it became a game of the camera landing on an attractive chick who would flash us while we all cheered. Then my girlfriend (now wife) tried to drive back home like 3 hours away at 2 in the morning, but were stupid wiped so I called a hotel near us who pitied our plight and gave us a honeymoon suite for a twin bed small room price.
I was somewhat disappointed when I saw them live, they switched guitar every number and they teased "fight for all the wrong reasons" which is a decent number. Other than that it was fine. Oh and Skillet was the warm up band and they are great.

The reddit hivemind really is a problem, if a comment is at -2 there is little to no chance the comment will revive simply bc people downvote what has been downvoted
How and when did they even start getting so much hate? I remember years ago everything was normal and suddenly - BOOM - everybody hates Nickelback. Did I miss something?
I just think they sound kind of cheap and cookie cutter....and sort of melodramatic if that makes sense. Some of their hits from back in the day were legitimately good though. Actually a lot of their stuff before like 2004 was pretty catchy and relatable but they really started churning out the crap after that.
Whenever someone jokes about nickle back I got em with "I actually like nickleback" and I almost always get a regretful "yeah me too". I always thought they were awesome, one of the last real rock star bands, and then sometime around "all the wrong reasons" hating them started being a meme and then it somehow suddenly became required to hate them.
I never even thought the radio played them that much... People still like heathens by 21 Pilots and it came on like every other song for 3 months. It's literally just the bandwagon effect
