ok, so why does everyone hate nickelback? Their music isn't really anything special or really good, but there is nothing wrong with them as far as I can see. Much better than Bieber or Meghan Trainor or whatever. To make things worse, most nickelback haters probably can't even name one nickelback song.

They lack artistic integrity, which has enabled shit cornfilled singles. Its also fun to hate things, they might be nice guys, but who gives a fuck.

1) Based on the few songs I've actually heard (again, and again, and again on muzak), their sound is just another screechy forgettable pop-rock sound. The name "Nickelback" vaguely suggests that we might at least be in for some nu-metal, or something that's actually trying to /be/ something, anything, if you know what I mean. The singer does this annoying thing that white guys sometimes do of scream-singing simultaneously, like this literal HURR noise, except it isn't even country (like I said, it's nothing in particular). Even the lead singler of Disturbed develops a similar shtick, but he actually commits and goes just a little bit dark :^) with it. I disliked the latter when younger but now I can at least appreciate what he (and that band) are doing, though it's still not my favorite. It helps that the lead singer is actually a very bright guy and completed three majors in college, gives them a little more to respect apart from the music.
2) So, since Nickelback is "just another white pop-rock" group, that isn't really anything in particular, (not metal, not country, not "alternative", this makes it an easy punching bag for people who want to just universally hate something. Obviously black people hate that shit, and white people, even white people who don't have black friends but might like the idea of having just a little bit of cred with black people in principle, can therefore hate Nickelback as "crappy white guy music". See, we can agree on something after all. That type of thing. Through hating Nickelback, Unity.
3) The sound and even the appearance of the band vaguely remind one of the christian rock band Creed, who were also popular to hate (among liberals) not only for their Ameriburger-tier religious themes (doesn't matter if the band actually is American or not, you know what I mean), but also for their similarly annoying sound. Nickelback reminds people of Creed I suspect, whether they realize it or not.
4) Nickelback are Canadian.
the reason why nickelback are hated so vehemently is because of their popularity. yes, they don't make music that's completely incompetent, they can play and sing in key, they can play along to simple rhythms and tempos without fucking it up, the problem is they're completely and utterly mediocre in every way imaginable.
it's the equivalent of going out for food and getting a single piece of dry, white bread and a glass of warm water. no, it's not going to taste so offensively bad that it will make you vomit but who the fuck wants a piece of dry bread and some water for dinner?

I hate them because they did a music video featuring only acoustic guitars when the song very obviously had electric guitars.

Because like Coldplay, mediocrity is a greater sin than being bad.

This. These guys probably know how to play their instruments well and know music pretty well, and yet it's like they are not even trying to make good music, just shit that will sell.

oh fuck now I remember listening to that shit in the blue-collar warehouse, learned to hate that fucker. The lyrics are burger-as-fuck, but more than that, the melody is this unappealing, /a-rhythmic/ fucking thing. Ugly, ugly song, but perhaps an anon can 'enjoy' it on some very mean ironic level.

Okay, this is one that actually tries to be a little bit "country", come to think of it Shitty Honky-Tonk swagger. Yecch!
The few Nickelback songs I've heard sounded like country, which I despise.
They lack creativity. It's like they release the same album over and over. Nothing wrong with a band having a certain "sound" but goddamn Nickelback recycles their shit.

No criticism of Nickelback that I've ever seen cites Nickelback as "crappy white guy music" in particular. This is just something you made up.
