re: Why Does Nickelback Get So Much Hate?

They are the worst kind of artist. It is one thing to aspire to something great and fail. That happens all the time, and that can actually be interesting in its own way. But to aspire to mediocrity and succeed is something I find beneath artistic contempt.

They set out to create bland, forgettable music. It is so cynical that they are worthy of every ounce of hate they get. Nickelback isn't what's wrong in music, they are what's wrong in so much of pop culture. It is the triumph of the mediocre.

One can't hate them enough. They are the Two and a Half Men of music.
