Why do people hate on Nickelback? I haven't listened to them since their early days so I'm unsure as to why they receive so much hate.
I believe the term band wagon(ing) is in play, the internet can be a massive hate machine if the right fires are started, Nickleback just got caught up in the 2000's **** storm since the majority of the world got connected online (mostly complete toolsheds of human beings)
I actually own Silver Side Up Haven't listened to it since I was 17 though (that is, 13 years....) People are a tad harsh on Nickelback. You can do a lot worse than them. 'This is how you remind me' is a good track. The rest is a bit meh, but far from the level of 'ohGodmyearsturnitoff' that I get from most popular music, including 95% of anything that plays in the gym
You've got to credit the service for a brilliant sense of humour though
