They are just standard 2000s radio rock. I think I answered my own question

imo, Savin' me is a good song, with a great concept for the music video.

Neither do I. Certainly not genre leaders by any stretch but it's a lot better than what it's made out to be.

They deserved to be criticized for being so lame and generic, but not to the level it got to. They weren't that bad.

Its because they were the face of "bland 2000s radio rock". And also, like, the rock band your parents might like, which immediately makes them way less appealing. Nickelback does have some bangers tho.

They aren't really bad, just the face of rock music "losing its edge" and becoming fully mainstream - though this is largely due to like, cultural shifts because there are way fewer people who want to complain about how like, AC/DC praises satan or whatever.

Most music isn't really considered "too edgy" in most places now, so liking Rock music isn't a way of rebelling against the establishment, and that's associated with Nickelback.

They have talent, but they get ahit on since the front man once said "it's so easy to make a #1 hit, I just listened to all the recent hits and I made a song that copied everything they did right" and he got a #1 hit. So he's not bad, yeah that takes talent, but it's more that he just shit on the industry and cashed in. Good for them TBQH

I actually love Nickelback. The hate is just a consequence of edgy attitudes in the early 2000s, basically. They're a great band with a lot of good songs.

Going back to that ancient bit of history for Creed led me to find out that this exists:

They were massively overexposed in some markets. There was a point here in Dallas when you could here How You Remind Me on at least 5 radio stations at any given point. It was absurd.

They had 2 bangers between them, both by Creed. One and My Own Prison.

Lol. Way darker time for hip hop than rock. It's the only era I completely hated. Ringtone rap. Though, now we're back at making songs so 10 seconds of it can become popular.

What's bland about them? They got played on the radio because they made bangers that had mass appeal. You don't hear rock on Top 40 stations now because modern rock artists aren't churning out comparable quality music.

Not a fan, but never understood the hate either.

Hate is such a strong word, plus it seemed like it was just trendy to be vocal about it.

Back in their peak, I got rides from my parents and on long trips I'd hear the same song on loop for hours, cause all their songs sound the same. Thats where my hate comes from. I would have no opinion if I were never forced to listen to them

Someone shit on Seether earlier in the topic. Their debut album Disclaimer in 03 was pretty good. They re-released it the next year with bonus songs. I didnt fuck with them after that.

Someone also brought up Creed. Big fan. Were from Tallahassee. Saw them at the Florida state fair in 96 before My Own Prison released.
