| Talking about hate, what is the cause for Nickleback hate? Posted by TigerTatorTots I don't like them, don't know any of their songs, not sure if I have even heard their music. I just see that it is a common agreement that EVERYONE hates Nickleback. What is the reason though? Bad vocals? Bad instrument play? Bad lyrics?  on 4/5 at 4:05 pmI'm looking for a little more than 'because they suck'. Why do they suck? Link me to their worst song Reply • Back to Top |
| Hard rock band that sold out to bubblegum pop/rock. Reply • Back to Top |
| So they used to be good before they started playing bubblegum stuff? Reply • Back to Top |
| No theyve always sucked Reply • Back to Top |
| The last song they made sounds like the first song they made, and every other song in between. Reply • Back to Top |

| Their lyrics rhyme like a 6 year old wrote them: "Rockstar" 'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap We'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat And we'll hang out in the coolest bars In the VIP with the movie stars Every good gold digger's gonna wind up there Every Playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair "Gotta Be Somebody" Cause nobody wants to be the last one there Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares Someone to love with my life in their hands There's gotta be somebody for me like that Cause nobody wants to do it on their own And everyone wants to know they're not alone There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere There's gotta be somebody for me out there Tell me that's not horrible, unoriginal writing. Pitiful. Reply • Back to Top |
| They do suck but I think the hate is extremely overblown Reply • Back to Top |
| I don't think I hate Nickelback as much as I would hate hanging out with people who like Nickelback. I know they exist, but I don't know any, thank God. Reply • Back to Top |

| I just cannot stand the lead singer's voice: I hate this song more than ANY SONG EVER Reply • Back to Top |
| They are popular and make gajillions of dollars for the soul fact that they figured white Americans out. Their music contains a simple, easy to digest, 4/4 time signature, and lyrics that contain zero words that a fourth grader can't define. Then they take four songs and rewrite them ad nauseum, and they brand this as HARD American rock and roll (despite being Canadian). Couple all of this with the FACT that the average American is an idiot (MOST tigerdroppings posters excluded), and you find great success. Being that they found a way to capatalize HEAVILY off of mediocrity, they are the smartest band since the Beatles. Reply • Back to Top |

| I never understood the over the top hate for them. I don't know much of their work, but everything I hear sounds like typically pop rock. There is much worst pop music out there than nickleback, imo. I guess if people want to classify them as just rock and compare them to ac/dc or metalica, then yeah, they suck. But they are just a pop band, right? I'd rather listen to nickleback than Gaga or minaj or beiber etc Reply • Back to Top |

Posted by Chef Leppard on 4/5 at 7:26 pm to TigerTatorTots Bon Jovi 2.0 A band that feels their music is vindicated by the 2 million soccer moms that run out and buy their bull shite. Reply • Back to Top |
