probably the worst band in the world right now. They use the same 3 power chords for every song which attributes to them all sounding the same.The singer (i dont care to remember his name) tries so hard to be eddie vetter but just sucks.the rhythem section is tottaly uninspired and the solos which are rarely heard due to the guitar player sucking are so easy and bland a 3 year old could play them easily. also they often try to appear like rock n roll "bad boys" by :o drinking alchohol. wow slash died for like half an hour when he o.d thats bad. being 25 and in Nickelback and drinkin half a corona thats weak.If anyone actually bothered to play a guitar or any insturment they would realize this band is totally gay

A bad that fell into formula of all nu-metal bands, with most of their songs sounding the same, kinda like, sadly, Pearl Jam (At least to me). Nickelback is the prime example of record companies overglorifying their product to the point where anything they do, even if it's shit, will be praised by the masses. I don't hate all their songs. I really like songs like "Animals". Regardless, Animals is a diamond in the rough. Another part of their bad reputation come from their place of origin: Canada. Canadian bands and singers tend to be low in quality (Celine Dion, Beiber, Barenaked Ladies, uhh, BEIBER), and I think their music sounds worse by the fact that they have to live on the rep of other shitty bands from Canada. It's not their fault, but considering how mediocre Nickelback is, it's no surprise that Canada's reputation for bad music has only increased since then. Like with any other shit band, Nickelback had potential. They definitely showed they can make a good product on Animals. However, they didn't use said potential. They rode on the wave of overglorification and appealing to the masses with mediocrity to win themselves a heft sum of money.

The effect of becoming tremendously successful despite having no talent what so ever, offering nothing new to people, and repeating the same boring routine over and over, your fans are people who normally can't tell their heads from holes in the ground.

Nickelback lover: "Hey nickelback is so cool, best Canadian band ever!"
Intelligent person: "Umm, that title belongs to Rush."
Nickelback lover: "Rush? Oh my god that's the movie with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker! I love that movie!!!"
Intelligent person: "You're a sad, sad man, I pity you."
Nickelback lover: "Hey, just because you don't like the stuff I like doesn't make me a s....OH MY GOD, JEFF GORDON WON THE DAYTONA 500, WOOHOO."

Did you hear the new nickelback song about the slutty, white trash, drunk chick that fucks everyone?

A prolific adjective OR noun which may be blurted while spewing profanities at a shit-bird driver. Much like the BAND, it describes either high-key 'douchers'( think leftover grunger), people who should have their license revoked, or just plain 'ol dorks.
*As guy in maroon caravan with 'Salt Life' and sexy silhouette stickers careens by at snail's pace, taking up two lanes and cheesing, while listening to Kid Rock--
"OH MY GOD, LEAVE MY SCENE ALREADY, YOU FUCKING NICKELBACK!!"
"Nice Prius, NICKELBACK!"
**Someone weaking out with a demeaning pickup line
"Try another NICKELBACK move. See how far you get."

a group of no talent hacks from hannah alberta who formed a "band". They have no originality and have managed to turn 3-4 songs into several albums by constantly re-writing and re-packaging them. When writing their lead singer and guitarist (chad kroeger) always consults a third grade rhyming dictionary so he can finish the next line of the song, further more to say his guitar skills are rudimentary would be far too kind. hated universally by music critics and people who are not retarded the world over this knock off, mediocre, cheesy band astonishingly sustains a large fan-base. these said fans are referred to as dip-shits. dip-shits often defend shitle-back by pointing to their album sales or their fame and money almost never attempting to defend their artistic integrity, the object usually under attack.
dip-shit: you going to the nickelback concert
me: no they're fucking clown-shoes, I would rather listen to fran drescher while being raped by hitler then go to that suckfest
