Why do people hate Nickelback?

I don't really listen to them, but I've heard their more popular songs on the radio throughout the years. They sound ok to me. So I ask you... why do they get so much hate?

Cause haters gonna hate.

Honestly, I don't know why. They may not be very deep, but Nickleback is a decent band.

I don't hate Nickelback . In fact, I'm turning more and more to Canadian rock bands. The current music scene here in the US isn't to my taste.

They hardly make any great songs as I despise most of them. Really can't see what's so good about them, most overrated band ever!

They're bad (and by bad, I mean Canadian)wstfld

4-chords, predictable songwriting and structure, and some of the most uncreative...everything, ever.

I think the better question is why people like them.

For some reason, their music seems so generic (like someone said above) and hokey. To me, it's a chick band in disguise.

But it's all opinion.

To all the people saying how terrible they are, I would love to hear your favorite bands so I can say "They're terrible/unoriginal/lazy/etc". Music has got to be the most subjective topic ever so it's not really fair to say a band is terrible just because you don't like it.

I hate Nickelback because I think their songs are terrible. Simple as that. frostybanana

Because their bland, lazy and just boring to listen to!ace-of-spades93

I don't know. I've heard the complaint that all of their songs sound the same, and it is true. However, I wouldn't say the sound they have is terrible. It's not really my thing, but I can't say I hate them or even understand why anybody would flat out hate them.

Agreed. And those of us who don't like Nickelback are expressing our opinions. I don't see why you're so angry about it. :?

Who cares how complex a song is? I never listen to a song and think "wow, that is super complex, I love this song now because of it". I think, "wow, this sounds good, i love this song". I can listen to an old song like "Blueberry Hill" by Fats Domino, which is not very complex, and still enjoy it. Complexity in music = overrated. BMD004

Tell that to CCR

Pretty much. Simple music IS boring. Music needs variation.frostybanana

Disagreed. Simple music like Joanna Newsom. It's her and a harp in that song and it's not anything like Nickelback. Then you get complex music. Both are really interesting and creative once you look past the mainstream stuff.

Then isn't your opinion just as meaningless?

Well that's good to know, now I'll never have to think again because your opinion is so much better than mine. :roll:
