What I want to know, is why weren't they able to see the signs that they missed and try to turn the table?

ugh NICKELBACK... idk why my phone changed it to incorrect spelling. what happened to the edit button!

Apparently people like ripping on them because a lot of their songs use similar.... I don't know, strings of notes? Melodies? And apparently they hadn't "earned" the "right" to reuse good content like bands like AC/DC apparently have. I, personally, don't give a fuck. At least it means if you like one of their songs, you'll probably like the others, instead of buying an entire album and realizing, "Oh, great, the song I bought this for sounds NOTHING like the other songs by this band."

Right!? At this point I feel like it's just the "cool thing" to hate Nickleback.

Same man, same.

Same here! I have not met one person (IRL) who likes them. I am not like a fan of them, but I do like some of their songs. I still don't see what is with all the hatred.. it is not like they are the worst singers in the world or something.

Me too!

Same here! I like Nickelback.

Same here! I like Nickelback.

So do I, I have every single album. I never understood why people dislike them.

I agree

I agree, I don't understand the hate.

It's just become a "thing" to gang up on them for fun. Like an inside joke that everyone's in on (at least on the internet).

Part weird meme, partly some people really into music being snobs because Nickelback's songs all "sound the same." Because bands have NEVER been known to develop a specific style of music.

It's too late now to say sorry.

I'm sorry.
