A band where every song sounds the same advertising for early generation superhero movies. Almost prophetic, really.

I wonder what would happen if they released a superhero trailer with a Nickleback song today.

I never understood why Nickelback got so much hate. I don't think they're a great band or anything, but they're not that bad. There's definitely plenty of much more shitty music out there.

Because of internet hive minds. They're way better than popular music today, and that goes without saying, but merely suggesting that will get endless hate by the hive mind.

That's basically the crux of the issue. At one point, the biggest band in the world was "not great, but not bad" and I think a lot of people took issue with mediocrity being put on a pedestal like that, so they tried to knock it off.

They were never the biggest band in the world, and people seem to have no problem with mediocrity ruling over popular music today.

Ok so Billboard decides to give them an award since they were made fun of online all the time, it doesn't make them the biggest band.

People still listen to whatever trash the labels decide to put on the radio, so yeah I do believe it. Last night I was listening to a countdown of the top 30 pop songs of the year and it was all so, so terrible. It was striking how there was new music from the Goo Goo Dolls and Linkin Park and yet it sounded just like all the other generic trash, couldn't even tell it was those bands.
