Nickelback got so much hate because they were a #1 charting White band with a totally non-offensive White aesthetic, during a time when society was beginning its transition into modern race communism, which we’re now fully living in today.

>10,000 generic black rappers called Lil $tank and Yung Baby rapping about their stanky leg and abuse of women

White faggots clap and applaud

>Basic White rock bank makes songs about having a good time and enjoying life and appreciating your friends

White faggots call it horrible and terrible and garbage and cringe and send death threats to the band for having the audacity to make music

being white wasn't controversial when nickelback was relevant, here was a popular band from the time:

>>530410754
I said NON OFFENSIVE and traditionally White

That’s a faggot emo band and was the result of the same Marxists beliefs we’re seeing today. Obviously leftist faggots arent gonna have an issue with “white” people like these ones
>>
>>530410854
No it’s just true. Your retarded black “music” is juvenile garbage, and thats even compared to a normie band like Nickelback lmao.

I literally can’t imagine being gay enough to enjoy modern rap music. You either have to be a self-hating freak or a ghetto poopskin

Yes I remember this. Then you go back and listen to these bands today, and it’s wild just how much more depth and talent there is in the tracks compared to the race-communist faggot shit coming out now

These bands were systematically targeted for reputation destruction by the leftist establishment. They wanted all the top acts to be

I like Nickelback but lets not whitewash them, thanks.

>>530410680
the media hated nickelback because they openly talked about trying to make good music, and "cool" musicians were the ones who were brooding creative anti-heros who just made "what they want"
Basically, nickelback was uncool because they openly tried to do a good job, instead of pretending they were in it to slay their demons or whatever.
I fuckin love nickelback, great tunes.
>>
>>530410754
They were meant to faggify a white generation and it worked, but Nickelback was just kinda generic and isn't that memorable, memes have ironically kept their relevance alive.

Also, I think they're okay actually, it's just unremarkable.

>>
>>530410680
They did some decent shit, but only their ballads seemed to get any airplay. They weren't bad.
>>
>>530410680
This is true. A bunch of shitty black rappers got a pass, but they bashed Nickelback relentlessly

Yep, nickelback hatred was a inorganic and was also spread by insecure faggots.

Every one of their albums had at least one really good song and another good song.

"Leader of Men" is damn near 30 years old now, and it still rocks.
>>

This is what I mean. Your level of hatred towards them doesnt match what we can all see and hear ourselves.. this leads me to believe it’s purely an ANTI-WHITE thing

Why do you hate white people?

>>530410680

No. It’s because Nickelback sucks. Faggot.

There were thousands of amazing white bands back then that werent industry plant jews like nickelback

Hating nickelback became a meme before people understood what memes are.
It’s not Mozart but compared to every other top 40 band out there… idk what the fuss was all about. The made generic rock tunes for pop audiences.

Nickelback hate is a joke, just like how people say “wtf is that real???” when reacting to the dancing cat that was proven to be real or the 17-year-old kid who looks like he’s 30.

Nickleback uses the same 4/4 beat, tempo, and nearly the same key on every fucking song. At least Angus Young could play the guitar.

People hate Nickelback because they've been told so and want to seem like they've got musical taste.

Literally every band who makes top 40 music is like this.
And every now and then they try to branch out and make some experimental shit that flops hard(while critics all praise it to the high heavens)

>>530410680
>send death threats to the band for having the audacity to make music
Regardless of context that's pretty based tho.
>>
>>530411618
Oh ffs they were a fun band for 12 year olds who wanted to rebel and sing about their broken hearts, it's not that fucking deep. Not everything is a goddamned psyop, especially considering dressing like this would get you mad pussy at one point.
>>
>>530410680
Are we just ignoring that indie pop, an exclusively white genre happened like a decade after nickelback was popular ?
>>
>>530413154
Nigger nobody is saying they were musical geniuses. But for some reason the nickelback haters become the most stringent musical critics the minute Nickelback gets brought up, then 5 min later are listening to a bunch of other generic top 40 tunes thinking nothing of it.
It’s a forced meme, just admit it. There is nothing so offensive about Nickelback to justify
>>530412360
>>530412579
>>530412739
>>530412879
>>530412918
For whatever reason for like 15 years people just settled on Nickelback as THE band to HATE. Any time they got brought up dozens of people would pop in just to say how much they hate Nickelback in an overtly performative manner.
>>
>>530410680
I don't like their music at all,
but yes I do think they've gotten sustained hatred and derision because they're straight white guys.
With the exact same music, if they had a black guy as the lead singer they'd have gotten all sorts of acclaim from the media.
...

Wait why does Chad Kroeger have a Che shirt on in that picture?
...
Wait wasn't Nickelback actually Canadian?
...
Nevermind, fuck Nickelback.
>>
>>530414004
True
It's also funny how many people who openly hated nickleback also bought their albums.
>>
>>530412471
Actually no. Hip Hop exposed the crimes of right winged politicians, like Iran-Contra. All nickelback did was sing about a fucking picture.
>>
>>530410754
Nickelback made fun songs and liked getting pussy. Mcr got kids to commit suicide. Pretty big difference.

Pearl Jam is very good. They've always been better than the overrated tripe that is Nirvana.
>>
>>530414004
It was definitely organic and not forced. Nickelback was cringe because they had an air of seriousness that clashed with their goofy appearance. MCR worked better because they were emo and did weirder and more creative things, while the frontman for Nickelback just pouted and looked serious in a way that was more prone to mockery.
Incubus wasn't emo but they had more innovative and interesting directions they went with their music and their frontman took himself less seriously.
Bush similarly got some pushback for kind of being a shallow variation on better liked grunge bands from earlier, but Bush was less hated on than Nickelback since Gavin Rossdale was a lot more charismatic than Chad Kroeger.
Also, like other anons already pointed out, being White was fully mainstream throughout the 2000s. Even in the 2010s you had hipster stomp clap hey music which was probably the last White genre. But 2000s is too early to blame anything on the end of White people.

The hate for Nickelback was so sudden and so extreme that in retrospect it almost seems like a fucking psyop.

I never understood it when it was happening and I don't understand it now when 90% of all popular music/rocks sucked shit so why single out Nickelback?

So is essentially 100% of the shit that was on the radio in the 00s. Why was Nickelback singled out by faggots like you for a specifically vocal and viral hatred?

The answer is that you don't know. You were just going along with everyone else.

OP is faggot zoomer into divorced dad rock. Nickelback was shit and always was. Plus no one makes it to the top charts without jewish approval. They were subversive because it was a bunch of white guys making bad music for pussy boys. White men making aggressive music for boys had all been squished out by the late 90s.

>divorced dad rock
As an old guy who was a teen for nickelback, I can safely say there might be a link between the music and the divorces.
Too soft to really fit on the metal stations, but just enough crunch to play on the alt rock stations. Got play on both anyway, a secret to their success unfortunately. normies eat up just about anything on the radio station and they hit it from two angles.
>>
>>530416245
You are the one doing the selective cherry picking. People can hate multiple bands at the sametime. They just had a high level of cringe that made you reach for the radio dial to change the rock station to rap. This band couldn't be a bigger advocate for rap music in the 2000s because no teen boy wanted to look like a fag back when we would use that word without blinking and someone being a fag meant they were the outcast and part of no one's social circle.
>>
>>530415500
Maybe you have a point. Nickelback might have been the last sincere big musical act.
Nigger music is theatrical, over the top, gratuitous
Modern generic synth-pop is simply devoid of all emotion.
The indie-pop craze was dripping with irony(British men dressed as 1890’s Appalachian woodsmen playing American folk inspired rock sipping epic bacon whiskey through their curly mustaches)
People hated Nickelback for trying to be sincere rock stars 20 years after that wave peaked.

A decade later it occurred to me that they were STILL on the radio, ad iterata, ad iterata
Credit where it's due they have an incredibly consistent sound over time, but that's precisely what makes them so utterly boring in the long run. Have a hard time believing anyone owns the full discography

Never got the hate from them. Above avg rock band. Going out of your way to namedrop them as a bad band is usually a peasant indicator.
