Nickelback isn't bad. I always thought the hatred of it was because of the saturation of bands in the early 2000s that sound, well, exactly the same. Nickelback, godsmack, creed, puddle of Mudd, stained, etc

Nickelback started later than most of these and got popular later too. So I thought shitting on nickelback was shitting on a relic of post grunge in general

Consider also that at the height of their popularity, they were extremely overplayed. You could basically not go a single day without hearing them at least once on the radio, the TV, or at the grocery store. For YEARS.

A lot of people hated Metallica for the same reason.

Likewise. I thought the hate was for them being "late to the game," but they absolutely have some bangers like "How You Remind Me" and "Hero" with relatable, catchy lyrics. This was also the same time that MTV started playing more Rap than Rock. By 2007, they had cancelled *Headbangers Ball* and started playing it much later at night, sometimes at midnight or later. If you were into music at the time, you could really feel that White music was being pushed out of the mainstream.

True. Though, in all fairness, post grunge didn't exactly go out with a bang. It was never great, a lot of it fully fucking sucked, and its parent genre (grunge) was leagues ahead in terms of skill, talent, and creativity.

If our last stand musically were something more memorable and less same-y than post grunge, we might still have mainstream genres today. I guess nu-metal counts though, it *was* a lot less same-y than post grunge at least. Nickelback cut themselves short to be honest, Chad Kroeger is way better as a metal vocalist

Our last stand in the mainstream was post-grunge and numetal, but the real last stand was post-hardcore, metalcore and progressive metal.

Pop punk was pretty huge up until the mid 2010s too

While this is true, it's still a low fucking bar. Pearl Jam (and maybe Alice in Chains?) was an exception of that genre; Nirvana was more the rule. In my ever-expanding search for unbelievable talent (after I gave up on post grunge ever moving in the right direction), I eventually found myself in the post hardcore/metalcore/progressive/indie rock genres. Which, "unbelievable" is right - apart from Anthony Green and Saosin (and Circa Survive), most of those singers are so overproduced in the studio and disappointing on stage. Still, lots of good guitar and stupid good drum work.

Layne Staley was extremely talented, he's at the top tier of the grunge genre imo. Definitely a metal singer though, AiC (especially their last album with staley) touches on sludge and doom metal rather than the pop-punk of nirvana or the hard rock of pearl jam. I love pearl jam too, but Eddie Vedder mumbles worse than a nigger on soundcloud.

Even nirvana was a hardcore band from the start with bleach, and in utero has a couple of hardcore songs on it too, but that band is forever tainted by nevermind. Not a bad record, in all honesty, but extremely pop-adjacent. The formulaic songwriting on nevermind and the lead singles from in utero would fuck up rock forever, but nirvana themselves were more versatile than that.

On the topic, nu metal actually had a surprising amount of talent and innovation. I know it's the ugly stepchild of metal, but its really just because Fred durst acted like a douchebag in the 2000s. And the woodstock 99 disaster. If those 2 things didnt happen, it would be viewed more fondly. None of the bands sounded alike either. If you didn't like limp bizkit, you could listen to korn. If you didn't like system of a down, you could listen to deftones, etc. Lots going on with the genre. Some bands got extremely experimental, like static x. Some bands were bordering on extreme metal like early slipknot or ill niño. Everyone was experimenting to some degree, and it wasn't very formulaic or corporate at all (apart from the bands bordering on post grunge like papa roach or skindred)

It wouldn't matter. Remember that these jews control all the distribution. There was no music steaming in the 90s.

> It was never great ...

Yeah, you can STFU right there, buddy.

I mean in terms of popular opinion and lasting impact, not necessarily actively being played. People still adore grunge, which is older than post grunge and which apart from a couple of nirvana songs isn't played that much anymore

>Yeah, you can STFU right there, buddy.

Nu-metal solos post grunge no diff in the battle of the last popular white people genres. Post grunge was always extremely formulaic, safe, advertiser friendly, and quite frankly very often simply boring to listen to. Chad Kroeger is very talented in any case, more than his band's most popular work would show. His metallica covers and even nickelback's later work (and their earlier work before they went mainstream) kicks ass. He's a natural metal vocalist though, him imitating Kurt Cobain's style of singing from songs like heart shaped box doesn't help him none because that isn't his voice.

"YeAhhhh,

That's the refrain. There's more to the song than that, but the fact that you remember it proves my point!

Your assessment may not be right for everyone, but it's sure as hell right for me. That genre of rock is basic as fuck, but in fairness to the haters, Nickelback didn't evolve really at all (and again, really no one you mentioned did either - all the songs sound the same). But then I also throw Maroon 5 in the Train/Uncle Cracker/Coldplay etc. bucket of poprock ear poison.

No they're not. They actually fucking suck. Maroon 5 AND Nickelback fucking suck.

Not as bad as Puddle of Mudd (She Hates Me has to be in my top five worst songs of all time across any genre), but yeah, they both suck.

Both can be bad. Not everything is a Jewish conspiracy. Most things are but I refuse to let people convince me that Nickelback is good.

This. Nickleback sucked, but so did everything else that was coming out at the time (what was getting radio play at least)

That said, I did always feel the meme of hating Nickleback in particular was super forced.

I mean yeah, in all reality it doesn't matter at all if Nickelback are jews themselves, they're still deeply involved in the (((music industry))) anyway, so what difference even is there? I will admit I do like one or two of their songs, but that's also probably due to the nostalgia factor.

Their issue was that they were formulaic. There were several videos out at the time that overlapped their songs and the timing was always the same, the bridge and chorus were always at the same timestamp, etc. They weren't displeasing really but they found a formula and stuck with it to the point of tiring it out. You could say the same thing about a lot of bands at the time, but as the most popular, Nickelback caught the most criticism.

i thought it was because their songs often sounded the same (but this sounds plausible tbh)

I have never heard Nickelback's music, but it HAS to be better than anything Maroon 5 ever did. If I hear "This Love" one more time while I'm shopping or at the gym, I'm probably going to vomit or start shooting people. Holy fuck, I really hate that song.

I recall when Nickleback was everywhere that 3 of their sings had the exact same guitar riff.
