  • 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’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)

      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.

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.

    Okay. So Nickelback is hated because:

    -always used same cords and beats (what would we say about ACDC and all today's pop bands...)
    -misogynistic lyrics (once again, what would we say about today's pop or bad rap music that everyone loves)
    They're merely hated because they have understood how the system works and what people like and want to hear... I call this "jealousy", that's all

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.

    it's crazy how nickelback done everything to get the commercial succes and has sold 50 milion albums and then we have bands like megadeth who sold 40 million albums and is so technical good at their craft that if u not into music its rly hard to get whats going on, on those instrument and still they manage to sell that amount. Same with metallica for their first 4 albums especially. also metallica has always been a band doing what the fuck they wanna do and not what they think the public wanna listen to. Slayer sold 20 million and they are pure thrash metal..

    I think they are hated because their songs used to be played on loop in every single damn radio station, people really just got enough of them. At least this is what happened to me, I liked them as a band, I was never a fan or anything just enjoyed few of their songs, but after that rockstar song (which I liked initially) I kept hearing it over and over and over it was too much man, they’ve overdone it.

    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.

      @Master Epps speaking as a man, there's a difference between unnecessary credit and just simply not shitting on people... most modern rap artists objectify women. 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.

    My question is this:
    Why hate on Nickleback for these petty reasons, when there's a trainload of male rappers who proudly practice sexism, racism, hatred, jealously and envy with every breath they take.... yet, these guys get praised for it.
    So, what we have here is a bunch of cowardly haters who pick on a basically harmless band, while ignoring the true perpetrators because they're scared to open their mouth.
    It's sad and repulsive at the same time.

      Yeah, I'm thinking they're taking this guy out for his "misogyny" but so many others before and after this band have basically said the same things or worse. And DONE worse. And rap is at the top of the list. I kinda like this band and kinda like their lyrics. Since when does talking about sex... and, perhaps, submission... make someone a misogynist? This reeks of SJWs. I'm sick of it.

      Of course their lyrics are offensive, they are a rock band. I will not defend their lyrics but I think they were not the only ones who overdid it. There are many examples of artists whose lives were ruined or even ended by drugs (Whitney Houston, Kurt Cobain, etc). Instead of hating people you don't like, support people you do like. The internet is great for spreading content to a broad audience. It is often used to spread benevolence, love and support. However, and that is sad, it is also abused to spread hate. When you like something, you can find thousands of people to talk to who also like that. Hate doesn't belong in the internet. Make a difference. Much love to Nickelback, I loved to hear you when I was younger and I think I'm gonna hear you more in the future.
      Peace

    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 !
