I don't understand why they get so much flack on Reddit. There is obviously a demand for their music or else they wouldn't be where they are.

[–]curtbag 1 point2 points ago

Because they're not Daft Punk obviously.

The irony is that the circlejerk right now is to hate the haters of nickelback, JB, e.t.c.

Why does everyone hate them so much, i need a legit reason and not just they make bad music. lot of groups out their make shitty music, except they don't get the same amount of hate

[–]ImaginaryJello 11 points12 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Only argument I've seen coming from a lot of people is that every single song they made sound the same. If there's more other than that, I'd like to hear it too.

[–]tooPoorToPlaySkyrim 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

people say all of Linkin Park's song sound the same, no one hates them (ps i love Linkin Park so don't start hating them)

[–]AlbinoNick 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'd like to disagree, Linkin Park is just dreadful.

[–]ImaginaryJello 4 points5 points ago

I personally think that Nirvana songs sound the same, doesn't mean I hate them.

Linkin Park is awful. Just, really fucking terrible.

You are entitled to that opinion and that's ok with me, but what makes people rage against nickleback so hard. if you don't like their music do what you would do if it was Justin Bieber or Ke$ha and not listen to it. Don't start mass hate

[–]GargamelCuntSnarf 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm not starting 'mass hate...'

I saw that you wrote something as absurd as "no one hates [Linkin Park]," and I was responding. I didn't say anything about any other crappy band.

Kesha needs to learn to use the 26 letters she was given. Linkin Park needs to learn that spelling errors don't make you more hardcore. Unfortunately teen angst sells very well, so they find their niche market highly exploitable.

[–]DTMFA[S] -4 points-3 points ago

I don't consider posting a jpg to reddit as "rage", or starting "mass hate", but you are also entitled to that opinion.

[–]setrakakan 4 points5 points ago

The reason I got when I asked was "Because their music sucks AND they're popular"

I always thought people "hated" Nickelback because it was funny to joke about. No one actually hates them, they just love joking about hating them.

Why do Americans hate Nickleback? I haven't met anyone in Europe (I can't speak for anyone but this is my experience) who hates Nickleback with the bile and spite of Americans on the Internet. Someone told me it was because they did a 4th July event and played the national anthem but because they are Canadian people started a hate campaign against them. Is that true?

[–]pinchhazard 1 point2 points ago

The problem with Nickelback is that they are famous because a record company wanted to make money by cashing in on a generic "American-rock-sounding" pop group. If the success of a musical act was based on any combination of talent, artistry and originality, no one would have ever heard of Nickelback.

In the big scheme of things, they're not so bad - just another bad band in a series of bad bands pimped out to us by the recording industry. In this way they exemplify what's wrong with the mainstream music industry: the band exists because they are profitable.

People who buy Nickelback albums: folks who want to listen to music but don't really care about music that much so they buy whatever is played on the radio; people who are sufficiently afraid of being judged for having unique tastes, and so prefer to stick with generic, bland top 40 music

People who don't buy Nickelback albums: other musicians; anyone with taste.

[–]thegooddoctor 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Very well said. I think one of the most damning things about Nickleback is their record label. It's one thing to pump out album after album or generic-commercial-hard-butnottoohard-rock. It's worse that they have this Label (604) that creates droves of bands that sound and look exactly like Nickleback.

Scrolling through these comments, and all I see are people complaining about Nickelback jokes. It's fine that you don't like them, but don't pretend that you're a wise man among sheep because, nowadays, every Nickelback joke comment section is a circlejerk about how stupid these jokes are.

A coworker brought this in to work a few months ago and showed it to me before taping it up in his cubicle. I just pretended to be amused. Honestly, it's one of the least effort Nickelback hating posts.

Not a fan of their music, but they can almost reproduce their recorded songs sound into their live performances.

Interpret it however you'd like. Personally, I just don't like the band. Not because they're "mainstream", but because I think they're overrated and musically 'boring'. No big deal. It's my personal opinion and wasn't meant to be taken literally.

Okay, I see your point. I'd like to state that I, in NO way think that Nickelback fans (or anyone else who likes a specific type of music) is worth less than anyone else. I posted this because it made me chuckle-- not to make a statement such as "Nickleback fans are less worthwhile human beings".

I understand how you could be sick and tired of this issue. Personally (and here come the downvotes) I feel the same about Twilight. Let people read whatever the fuck they want.

I agree. I don't care if the book is horrible, if it inspires a kid to pick up a book and read rather than watch tv, great. Same goes for music-- If a kid is inspired to pick up an instrument and play because they found inspiration from Nickelback, good for them. I have listened to my fair share of shitty music throughout the years.. I am not one to judge. Honestly, I just found this to be funny and wanted to share it. My intention was not to offend.

I'm really getting tired of seeing this shit. NO ONE CARES IF YOU HATE NICKELBACK.

God damn karma whores trying to suck the dicks of the preconceived majority's musical opinion.
