How did Nickelback gain a large fan base despite criticism of their music?

Nickleback are awesome! My new favourite band! I just got their fourth album. It totally rocks!

Something like that. Millions of people love them. Millions claim to hate them. The most honest criticism of the music is that it sounds like it’s being written deliberately for a particular market. I haven’t heard anything since around 2002 or so, so I can’t say for myself. They don’t suck as in bad musicians or bad song writers. They just sell millions of albums while other excellent bands struggle. That’s what the real problem is, I think.

I think it went something like this.

Eveniet dolor unde ut ut praesentium ut aperiam.

(Wow! What’s with this band? So many people are going nuts for them? What’s so special about them? They had a decent song or two. But there’s no originality now. They’re just wearing themselves out chasing their own tail.)

Here’s my ranking of Nickleback’s discography. They don’t have a bad album at all. But some are better than others. In last place is their most recent album. I felt it was very uninspired. This track is the best one and that track is pretty good. But the rest of the album doesn’t do much for me…

Nickleback! Nickleback!

Has anyone had a romance scammer start messaging them on Quora? How do you know if the person is scamming you? What do you do?

(It really bugs me that such a boring, unoriginal band gets so much attention when there are loads of other way more interesting bands out there.)

(Nickleback sucks! They’re the worst band ever! I can’t stand them. Why do so many people like them? So unoriginal!)

Why are Republicans so afraid of a strong leader like Vice President Kamala Harris? Are they worried if she becomes President she will make them look stupid?

(Yeah, it was great at first. But I have heard it a bit too much.)

Yay! Nickleback!

(Nickleback? They suck. Who cares…)

What kind of pleasure do gay men get from being bottom? The idea is very appealing to me but in practice it's quite painful.

Hey, have you heard of this new band, Nickleback? Their first album is pretty cool.

Hey, man, that band I told you about, Nickleback? The dropped their sophomore. It’s really good. Check it out.

Dude, you heard that new single by that band, Nickleback? It’s awesome! Holy crap! That song is everywhere! It’s so cool!

Why are the bands Smashmouth and Nickelback often used as punchlines?

(It sounds a bit too much like they took what made them popular from the previous album and just did more of that.)
