A Note to Nickelback Haters

So with my departure for Moncton and Nickelback imminent, I thought I’d have a look at the phenomenon that is Nickelback Haters. First, I find it amazing that a band can be as infamous as they are famous. The hate for them is almost as large as the love. Thankfully and proudly, I am on the love side. It’s funny though to see responses as to why people hate them. For example, I read : “Because their music is garbage and overplayed. Ten years of listening to the same trash over and over again” Spoken like a person who has not likely listened to more than 2 songs by Nickelback, and conveniently is ignoring the fact that the above statement describes most pop music as well. Of course if you play a certain genre of music, there is going to be similarities, but to say that it’s the same trash for the last 10 years…. Well my rebuttal to that is, I guess 50 million people love trash, because they have sold that many plus albums, and are still going strong as one of the biggest acts
