  • Everyone has different tastes and preferences, so it’s surprising that Nickelback has pretty much locked up the title of Worst Band of All Time.
    What is it about the Canadian rock band that makes them more hated than Creed, Insane Clown Posse, and Limp Bizkit all put together? While they’re far from the only band to have issues with women, lead singer Chad Kroeger is famous for being immature and misogynistic, which is often reflected in his lyrics. In addition, many listeners find their sound bland and completely unoriginal.
    Let’s take a look at how Nickelback became the most hated band in history.

      Grunge Personally, I don't Care too much.I was curious about the reasons, that's pretty much it. I will say though that I think its overblown. People tend to overreact to small issues. Want something to be upset about, too thin-skinned, etc.

      I never understood why they are hated to the point that pop culture always berate them for their "bad music". I'm not a die hard fan but once I saw lullaby play on tv. Back then I couldn't understand English very well but the visuals of MV and the vocals of the singer spoke to me. I will always have a soft spot for Nickleback because of lullaby. Nothing beats the nostalgia when I listen to that song.

    I’m a metal head , and I love lots of genres of metal and other bands, I’m a big Dean Martin fan aswell and I’ve seen lots of bands, a few years ago I saw Nickelback live in Manchester with my girlfriend, (she was a fan) and the arena was sold out, they were brilliant live. When they performed “RockStar”Chad got 3 fans on stage to sing it with him, 2 girls and a disabled boy which was very nice to see. I Don’t know Why people hate them, my girl hates Heavy Metal, lots of people hate all different types of music. I don’t like boy bands but someone must like them because they’re selling tickets, If we all liked the same music the world would be boring. (I know everyone is different and have different views, this is just my opinion)

    GLAD I am from Germany, we‘ve never heard anything (bad) about Nickelback here so I can just ENJOY the band without having all the rumors in the back of my mind. Plus, I simply can’t hate on a band that wrote the most touching song ever, „Lullaby“, with the most perfect lyrics ever. It’s my favorite song of all time and it‘s been helping through dark times still.

    Rock is supposed to come from a place of sincerity and genuine feelings / experiences. Chad and the band have not been shy about sharing their intent to write songs that are hits with no genuine experiences behind them. That’s the problem.

    Over the years I've heard the Nickelback thing about being hated and not being a big follower of theirs I was alway curious about what they sounded like. Just listened to the mentioned song and it sounds familiar enough to recollect some of their work. It is a sound that draws you in but I can understand that if heard repeatedly would get old in a big hurry. This is not so different from a time some years back when I would listen to an old classics radio station and for some reason they would play an old Beatle's song - "Michelle". When first heard it's engaging and pleasant - after about a 100 times, which this station seemed to like to play - I wanted to throw up every time they played it.

    -misogynistic lyrics (once again, what would we say about today's pop or bad rap music that everyone loves)

People are just bitter because Nickleback made so much money without needing to do anything new. It's like being mad at someone for becoming a dentist.

LISTEN TO THOSE LYRICS AND YOU'LL GET IT. In fact, most modern rap has just become trashy; and that's not just the disrespect part; I'm also referring to the fact that all I ever hear is about fame, sex, drugs, and money.
      Put this into perspective; a modern male rapper makes a song about forcing women into sex and about how to use them. Now imagine a female rapper/singer making a song about manipulating men into sex and about how to manipulate them... technically, it's the same; a person shitting on a person. Sooo... I wasn't giving women "unnecessary credit", I was just saying how most modern rap is trashy in my opinion and why.

    A funny joke about Nickelback is that it's called Nickelback because his music is only worth a nickel. However, I enjoyed his music growing up. It was overplayed to death from 2000 to 2008 on top 20 pop radio stations around the United States and Canada. 15 years later after they stopped overplaying it on the radio, I started to realize that the music is actually good. Using the same power chords wasn't lame after all, it's just a brand identity just like the square cap on Dessirrona, the BMW kidney grill, and others.

      Well it doesn't depends on my willingness to listen to crap music like nickelback and tons of other shit, it's on the mass media; radio, youtube, tv, spotify, movies, series and so on, that's what pisses me off I can't stop listening to stupid shit even though it isn't my personal choice.

    I remember going to see 38 special many years ago, of course expecting to see long haird, rebel flag waving , country rockers(as everyone there was expecting), but they shocked everyone ( short haircuts, and dressed in awful white suits). I'm not sure if anyone ever heard from them afterwards 🤔 I mean , the whole crowd was silent! I don't think a complete image change was too smart on their behalf.

    I didnt even know that Nickleback was so hated by so many ! Actually i could care less ! They pumped out some Rockin Memorable tunes during their Heyday ! I had the pleasure of seeing them live at a strip down event (acoustic , indoor , 3800 people) in Spokane/Airway Heights Washington . I was a little surprised at how well the group harmonized !
