I like Nickelback and I never understood the hate they got, even if they paid radio stations to play their songs or whatever the stupid controversy was.
There I said it.
Nickelback isn't hated because they paid radio stations to play their songs. That's practically an industry standard, despite all the laws against it.
Nickelback is hated because it's unoriginal musical pablum.
That's not necessarily a problem either. There's plenty of "filler music" out there. Not everything is fantastic and new.
The issue is that this filler music somehow got really popular and really well known. The popularity doesn't match the novelty. That's an issue. And once one person started mocking them for it, everyone else piled on, then it became a bit of a meme.

I appreciate this. I’ve never understood bashing other people for their taste in music. I actually talked about liking Nickelback on the night I met my husband and all our friends chastised me for it but he asked what my favorite song of theirs was. Definitely think that’s a good quality in a person!
It's that what it was? I never looked into the hate but I couldn't tell you a song of theirs at the same time.
I thought payola was the basis of the US music scene for like forever? Airplay was the way to become big at one point.
I think theatrics and controversy are the main ways today.
Dude same, I don’t understand the hate
Nickelback is a good metal band with a lot of bad B side country. Yeah, of course their country stuff is bad, it's B side country. Everyone's B side country is bad. That doesn't make their metal hits any less good.
They're not worth the hate, but most people think they're brutally generic in an era where rock is losing its mainstream appeal. They definitely did at one point embody the "HEY YUH" butt rock sound of the 2000s. Their newer stuff I actually had to catch myself, it sounds metally, and then I was like "wait this is Nickleback????"
