A lot of things suck in this world, but none perhaps as much as the band Nickelback. I’m sorry if you’re fan - I don’t mean to offend you - but seriously, these guys are bad. Cringe-worthy cliches over bad guitar rock. There is so much good music out there, why are people listening to this? I just don’t understand.
It’s not just me. Lots of people think they suck. Check out (no, actually you should join) this Facebook group trying to get a pickle more fans than Nickelback.
They suck so much that we’ve turned them into a verb - to “Nickelback” something is to lamely produce something for mass consumption with little care for its originality or creativity. It’s something we see a lot in advertising and communication. Just nickelback it and get it out the door.
So let’s agree to two things, 1) stop listening to Nickelback and 2) stop Nickelbacking creative. And the world will be a better place.
