Lukas Clark-Memler Lukas writes about music for a wide range of international publications and a number of vaguely respected websites. Sort by most recent last most recent first Go. Arangi says. Hey, happy to admit, I Like Nickelback. I said it. Bring on the haters. JamesM says. Cue the ire. As someone who bought the first Nickleback album I did like the style of music on that first album.
I think there is a few reasons for the hate. One has to do with tge timing when they came out. For fans of the grunge era of music we were spoiled with a lot of great music in a short period of time.
Nickleback and the soft alternative rock was all that was left. Once they became the face of rock it was hard to jump on that wagon considering what we were used to owning the radio. Nickleback had complete control over all rock stations. I think they are as appealing as kid rock. Something a bit trashy and fake about it. The sudden overexposure completely oversaturated me, and really drove home just how formulaic their sound became.
They went from a fresh new sound in Canadian alt rock to what felt like a hit making algorithm. Honestly, I think they were a victim of their own meteoric success, especially in the US. We Canadians are funny. We wish for our bands to be successful which usually means widespread acceptance South of the border, but in truth when bands make it big down there we tend to turn our backs on them for selling out.
In once it because cool to hate on Nickelback, the memes started and that was the beginning of the end. I agree that they just exploded too fast. When you like a song first, then more and more people catch on to it, it loses its charm… You are a fan and actively want to hear the song, then others start requesting it… by the third wave of people who discover the song, you get tired of it.
Then I think the same effect happens in reverse… There are the first wave of people who are sick of it… they voice their opinion and then it goes from there… That happened 2 singles in a row… then people get used to being sick of the bank as a whole and are not open to new music by them….
Iagree with these two. Liked the first songs enough to buy the first album. Liked it enough to buy the second. Never considered the third. A few different things happened. The singles were similar sounding enough and everywhere so it bred feeling heard-one-heard-it-all.
Fans are fickle and demanding, wanting our favourite bands to grow and improve without losing what made us like them in the first place. But imagine The Beatles if they just stuck to their sound and kept pumping out those snappy little ear worms. So then there are a lot of people who found Nickelback briefly exciting and then had had enough of it. But you could not get away from it, it was everywhere.
Candy is instantly delicious and a nice treat. When you are force fed the candy for long enough, you will begin to revile it and may actively want to discourage others from volunteering for the all you can eat candy diet. Nickelback made some money and bless their hearts, decided to invest in Canadian music. With the Nickelback money and influence flowing, we got more music that sounded a lot like… Nickelback. Theory of a Deadman. Three Days Grace.
Then I learned to check if these bands are proto-Nickels and tempered my enthusiasm. So that got tiring pretty fast. And it also was kind of an eclipse for Canadian music that would have otherwise been given radio play and might have been good and different. The opportunity cost of Nickelback. What a dick. He has it all figured out and everyone wishes they were just like him, and in his grand benevolence he might just reach down and help a few of you poor little suckers.
It also feels like aww man, finally!! Other countries are going to think we are like this? How embarrassing. I found there to be a semi-redemption for Nickelback in the late s. A couple of tracks would leak into the playlists of friends who were excellent curators. Is it because they are wildly successful and sing songs about BJs and black-out drinking? For the record, my musical tastes are very sophisticated and I love Nickelback. At the time, there was no spotify, so unless I had a CD in the car, my rock options were limited.
Plain and simple, at the time, they were just vastly overplayed on CFOX. Hello Alan. Have you seen this article from the Observer back in ? I think it pretty much sums up the history of H8ing Nickelback, which the author argues began in earnest waaaaay back in when they signed with then then hardcore metal label Roadrunner Records.
Haters say that every time the band enters a recording studio, all they do is generate a completely commercial song and not something genuine. This is criticized, because artistically speaking, they claim that Nickelback does not have a well-crafted song.
For us, it is more than evident that a band with no talent and hated by everyone can stay in the music scene for more than 25 years. This time only shows that there is a solid working team that is always looking to reinvent itself and experiment with its sound, not only to please everyone, but to find the true identity of the band.
Nickelback has been a worldwide phenomenon and they had hits that remained in the top charts for a long time. No one can deny that this band has created some anthems that we have chanted more than once. And even though many claim to hate them, we all know this world-famous band. Their music sounds good, and it is evident that the members have evolved as artists during all these years.
Despite everything, they keep making music, because it is something they are passionate about, and that has great merit.
This hate has also been contributed to by various artists within the genre, as both they and their audience are very firm in their opinions or are well known to influence their audience to agree with their opinions. This article only seeks to expose the most famous reasons with which haters seek to discredit the band, but none of them belong to us.
