I am and always will be a fan of Nickelback. This list is to determine why people dislike them so much
The Top Ten
1 People are yet to appreciate them

Which is sad Because Nickelback is Better then given Credit for!

And it Pisses me Off that people just Hate Nickelback Because they wanna be cool!

They NEVER RUINED ROCK MUSIC They Have Kept It Running (also Nickelback is More Alternative Rock)
Sorry if this is so long but I'm a DIE HARD NICKELBACK FAN WHO WILL SUPPORT THEM UNTIL THE END OF TIME AND MORE!

I have always liked Nickel. Never understood where all the negativity came from. Love Rock Star. #hatersstophating

To put it bluntly, the more you listen to music, the less you listen to Nickelback.

They are a good band

2 Thier lyrics are similar

Why did this person write their in such a disgusting matter

3 It's a trend to hate them

I know some people who only know two Nickelback songs, How you remind me and Rockstar, yet they still hate them because all their music is 'similar'. How can you say that if you haven't listened to the majority of their music?

Everyone I know hates them because allot of others do to. I personally think nickellbacks music is pretty good even though I'm not a die hard fan or anything.

Trend? Well why don't you read the reviews of Silver Side Up on Amazon? People abhor post-grunge dribble.

So true, I think most people only hate them just too fit in with the rest of the Internet

4 Thier songs are all the same

Well they didn't exactly write one song their whole lifetime, but they basically wrote three songs and changed the lyrics to them. Corporate rock at its "finest."

Not true. Listen to songs like Never Again or Next Contestant and tell me they are the same as Far Away, If Everyone Cared or Too Bad

Really? listen to burn it to the ground and if today was your last day and tell me if they sound the same! who writes this a bunch of deft dumb donkeys? Daniel eddie maertens 10 year old Canadian find me!

5 They aren't original

They're the epitome of greed over soul in the rock genre. They've stated that they only do this so that they can make money and that a lot of their songs follow a formula that just goes by what's popular. And the argument that Justin Bieber, One Direction, etc. isn't original either is pointless. If we don't listen to Nickelback, then why would we ever listen to them? They're obviously unoriginal, much like Nickelback.

And Justin Bieber is original? One Direction? Miley Cyrus? Shawn Mendes? Fetty Wop? Rihanna? I could go all day. The point is, you listen to unoriginal music every day, but you only pick on Nickelback because it's "The cool thing to do". ust listen to your favorite song's lyrics and tell me exactly what is original about them.

They pretty much sing about stuff every band sings about

6 They are Canadian

Justin Bieber is Canadian and 1) he was not hated for that reason, and 2) we don't hate him anymore!

And yet, Shawn Mendes uses auto tune. Mortals...Ugh

So? Rush is Canadian too and we like them!

I'm Canadian and find this very offensive.

7 Chad Kroeger's Voice

He sounds like he eats gravel and can't quite get it out of his system

I can see why people could find his voice annoying after a while

I think that's one of the reason why it got more popular

When he finish the phrases lyrics he always make Eeeuuh! Like if he was tired.

8 They sound awful

They really do, it's hilarious that this would be considered "invalid reasoning"

Invalid reasoning

9 They're extremely sexist and right-wing

I don't really care about the right-wing thing (and calling them sexist is a bit of a stretch) but I get this. They're lyrics are absolutely over-sexualized, but that doesn't make them sexist. They're just trying to be edgy and gain some more money. And, unfortunately, it works. This is like a radicalized version of the truth.

Yeah as if Chad Kroeger's sexual lyrics will get him laid. He looks like the criminals I see on television. Oh well money doesn't buy class, good looks, good taste, or intelligence

10 They think hating Nickelback makes them look cool

I attempted to get real answers from some family this weekend regarding their hate for Nickle but they remain firm and won't elaborate. Nonsense I say!

Well this reasoning is retarded. People hate Nickelback because they make music that would make bands like Buckcherry and Hinder redden up.

People think hating everything makes them look cool.

So much hate put the sorta true yeah

The Contenders
11 People are too busy listening to pop music

Not exactly I mean I love nockle back and ill defend it all the way inless some one proves me wrong on any point but there are a lot of teens and some adults listen to pop and same only a lot more rock sounds good and there are same amout of people if not rock loves out there then pop

This makes no sense

12 Most of Nickelback's Songs are about Drugs, Sex, and Strippers

I love nickleback and heard every song by them yes they have a few songs about love sex and drugs but so do most artist at some point most rap most country some rock and some pop so the few spngs they have is nothing cpared to that also they have a lot of sons about love caring and hurtimg so yeah

I think this is the biggest reason why everyone hates Nickelback.

No shipping. That is ROCK NOT ROLL dumb ass.

13 They sound generic
14 They are so overplayed it's irritating

Why? Payola?

Yes their music gets annoying, that's why people hate them.

So does most songs on the radio

15 Because the singer is married to Avril Lavigne

I like her rock music. Except for silly ones like Girlfriend which is more like a pop song not her genre.

Avril is amazing. What kind of reason is this?

The first same-SUCKS marriage, perhaps?

She's the only reason I got to know them..

16 Chad Kroeger Chad Robert Kroeger is a Canadian musician and producer, best known as the lead vocalist and guitarist for the Canadian rock band, Nickelback.

He's not very attractive that's why they hate

He looks like a dirty Nicholas Cage.

Looks aren't everything

17 People like to hate things

Simply people like to hate or look down at things that are different than they are. I personally like some of their songs and don't hate the band personally I just hate fanboy's and Justin Bieber with a passion that will never change.

18 They Don't Get Rock Music
19 They're different

Nickelback is one of the few bands that actually plays REAL ROCK MUSIC anymore. Most people just can't appreciate them because of all the weird new music out there. People really need to learn to appreciate the style of music they play, but they just won't do it.

Don't listen to this person they aren't real rock, ok they are kind of like super old rock but rock has evolved and changed and nickelback has refused to even sound a bit modern it's so old style it's annoying.

20 They are in it for the money

And all other groups aren't

21 They're Selfish

They are all about the money, not the heart and soul of music (whether reaching a niche audience or making anthems for the masses). Notice that many Nickleback apologists keep stating about the money that they have, more so than the music (albums, B-sides, hidden meanings of songs, background/experiences of singer that is applied to the songwriting, experimentation, et al). Keep flashing those horn signs boys, because you may avoid the unemployment line or decline in publicity but credibility is the thing you will never get in your lifetime.

22 They are not even attractive

Really with minute musical talent, classless/mindless lyrics, lack of creativity, et al; they can't even look good. Which makes it even more baffling that this band even exists

Right, because it's all about their looks.

Who gives a fare what people look like honestly its about the musoc not looks u stupid ideos

23 People Hate the Name Chad
24 Boring and Canadian
25 They are commercial
