How did Nickelback gain a large fan base despite criticism of their music?

(It really bugs me that such a boring, unoriginal band gets so much attention when there are loads of other way more interesting bands out there.)

Dude, you heard that new single by that band, Nickleback? It’s awesome! Holy crap! That song is everywhere! It’s so cool!

Nickleback are awesome! My new favourite band! I just got their fourth album. It totally rocks!

Were the 1980s as uptight and prudish as movies and TV shows make them out to be? When I think of 80s culture, I think about a very "icky" judgmental yuppie status quo time period.

(Nickleback? They suck. Who cares…)

Nickleback! Nickleback!

Here’s my ranking of Nickleback’s discography. They don’t have a bad album at all. But some are better than others. In last place is their most recent album. I felt it was very uninspired. This track is the best one and that track is pretty good. But the rest of the album doesn’t do much for me…

What is the most ridiculous obviously false verse in the Bible?

I think it went something like this.

(It sounds a bit too much like they took what made them popular from the previous album and just did more of that.)

(Wow! What’s with this band? So many people are going nuts for them? What’s so special about them? They had a decent song or two. But there’s no originality now. They’re just wearing themselves out chasing their own tail.)

Why do Darwin atheists not like facts of Genesis? I’ve noticed they block and dismiss everything a person states. Is that how science works to hide when a truth comes at them?

Something like that. Millions of people love them. Millions claim to hate them. The most honest criticism of the music is that it sounds like it’s being written deliberately for a particular market. I haven’t heard anything since around 2002 or so, so I can’t say for myself. They don’t suck as in bad musicians or bad song writers. They just sell millions of albums while other excellent bands struggle. That’s what the real problem is, I think.

Yay! Nickleback!

Hey, have you heard of this new band, Nickleback? Their first album is pretty cool.

Why do guys on dating apps often just first message "hey" or "hey how are you" instead of being more creative and unique? How do they think being a copycat will stand out?

(Yeah, it was great at first. But I have heard it a bit too much.)

(Nickleback sucks! They’re the worst band ever! I can’t stand them. Why do so many people like them? So unoriginal!)

Why am I not attracted to masculine men? Why do I like more feminine attributes on a man?

Hey, man, that band I told you about, Nickleback? The dropped their sophomore. It’s really good. Check it out.
