$5,000,000 but you can only listen to Nickelback for a year.



The money is tax free. There are no loopholes, because all music that enters your ears during this year-long period will magically turn into Nickelback. This includes during movies, where the film scores will be replaced with thematically appropriate Nickelback songs.

So for example, you're watching The Empire Strikes Back, during the Han/Leia scenes, John Williams' score would be replaced by How You Remind Me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cQh1ccqu8M

Or during Fellowship of the Ring when Boromir dies, Howard Shore's score is replaced by Nickelback's Someday

Easily.

I don't listen to a ton of music anymore, as my commute to work is normally me listening to podcasts or audiobooks. We have music playing at work, but it's at such a low volume, I can barely hear it at my desk. So I'd really only have to deal with whatever music would be on TV or in movies.

They have 9 studio albums, so that's enough songs for a decent variety without much repeating.

They have a lot of good songs, though. I listened to their greatest hits CD in the car yesterday, as a matter of fact. But that said, a whole year of listening to only one artist, no matter who it is, would be tough.

Did you miss the part where existing music in movies (and by extension, tv shows and games) will be replaced with Nickelback?
I'm not saying don't do it, but I hope you can be fine with nothing but reading for that year...

i could live with most movies having an altered soundtrack. i probably would just avoid vidya for a year, tbh. still worth it to never work again.

This is hilarious. I'll take it. Imagine christmas songs, you'll hear christmas nickelback! That'll be an interesting/boring year. Games are certainly going to be awkward.

No deal. I think I would go insane before the year ended. I play a lot of games and watch a lot of movies/shows. I like their music, but it replacing everything would get real old, real quick.

This might have sold me. I find most Christmas music more annoying than Nickelback. I don't watch movies on the regular anyway so not a huge problem there, I can turn off music in games. I think the biggest issue is I mostly watch YouTube, that would be the biggest pain point.

My media watching would take a bit of a hit but I generally play with music off during games so that should be relatively unaffected.

This is the part that might kill it for me; It would essentially ruin any movie watching I did that year, and as that's probably my biggest hobby and pasttime, that would fucking suuuccckkkk.
