I'm sick of normies with their "Nickelback is good actually" schtick. Just because it's cool to hate them doesn't mean they're secretly good. They're the embodiment of shitty 2000s post-grunge/faux-country. If you think Nickelback isn't that bad, you may as well say marmite isn't that bad.

I've heard far worse than Nickleback, that doesn't make them good, but they aren't absolute shit.
Austin Mitchell
"Normies" dont even talk about Nickelback at all anymore because they haven't been relevant in ten years
Robert Lewis
Both statements are correct.
Samuel Lee
I always thought that their name was meant to be a dumb quarterback joke. When I heard the real reason, I was shocked to find out that it was even stupider.

>"here's your nickel back"
Blake Fisher
true
normies think that nickelback was the worst band ever. if anything they went a little too far in their hatred... although i do hate that photograph song based on having to hear it day after day on the school bus

>normies think that nickelback was the worst band ever
yeah 5 years ago. now it's swung around and everyone loves to say "dude i like nickelback aren't i quirky?"

If you think Nickelback is faux country, you're probably actually the normie know nothing. Everybody knows country shifted to become more like radio rock, not the reverse. Noob idiot.
Caleb Russell
they give early 2000s buttrock a bad name. it wasnt all that bad.
Owen Lopez
imagine disliking nickelback

>Everybody knows country shifted to become more like radio rock, not the reverse.
if you think music trends are actually this black and white and influence is always one way only, you are the noob idiot.
Luke Lopez
I don't know what you're trying to even say, jack.
Nickelback was easily on the cringier side, so of course they're the biggest band

I like Nickelback.
They're basically Canada's answer to Foreigner, and the lead singer is, literally, a CHAD!
Luke Anderson
I always had a soft spot for nickelback and certainly would rather have them still be popular instead of the hip-pop TRASH everyone’s obsessed with now.
Josiah Jackson
Rock Star is pretty catchy. Wouldn't say it's great or anything but that's something I guess.
Nolan Thomas
Chad Kroeger is a genius. He injects just enough of a country sound in his music that NB has a huge demographic crossover that other buttrock bands don't.
Jayden Hughes
Nickelback is dull, formulaic and above all else mediocre. I just think that nobody takes genuine Nickelback hate seriously anymore because of the inane amount of vitriol they received by redditors jumping on the hate boner train a few years ago.
Joshua Anderson
>a few years ago
You mean over a decade ago
Leo Hughes
The normies are right in 2020. You just aren’t cool, there’s a Nu metal buttrock revival and all the cool hardcore & metal bands are inspired JUST WATCH PUNK ROCK MBA!!!!
Jason Robinson
Chad Kroger’s hair gel is CUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Evan Peterson
That guy would be admirable if he weren't so phony and agenda driven, but he is.

>likening Nickleback to marmite
holy based
Cameron Johnson
Nickelback are shit, but Theory of a Deadman and Hinder are even worse
Luke Fisher
Nickelback is mediocre but not nearly as bad as people would suggest. Creed is by far the most painfully unlistenable buttrock band, I'd take Nickelback any day over them

>They're the embodiment of shitty 2000s post-grunge/faux-country.
This, though, I'd say, is the only compelling angle on them; that by the time they came around, Middle American country types generally had come around to grunge (there's nothing about it that's not compatible with basic American tastes) so there was a sort of crossover zone between contemporary country and yarly post-grunge. If you listen to Nickelback as basically country music you realize that's actually what it is, just with a little bit more growl and 'grit' applied. And the band members themselves, phenotype and culture-wise, are exactly the same sampling of person-type as the guys who would make and listen to bro-country.
But that Photograph song, and the 'I Wanna be a Rock Star' song... they're total country songs.

Yeah Nickelback can still be kind of fun and goofy in a bar setting but Creed is just cringey.
Joseph Peterson
Nickelback's sound is just run-of-the-mill post-grunge.
You could just throw them in a playlist with Creed, 3 Doors Down and Breaking Benjamin and it'd all sound the same with the plucky guitars and raspy-ass vocals.
At least it'll make you feel headstrong to take on anyone.
Dylan Murphy
holy fuck lmao thats so fucking weird
