A band featuring the Paddle-Pop Lion on vocals and...well, some other folks at the back that don't get much attention. The ol Lion roars about as loud as he can and doesn't seem to use techniques like change in dynamics, falsetto, or anything like that.
They busted into the mainstream with their hit "How You Remind Me." Meh, I didn't mind it; it was a nice change from the boy-band crap like N'Sync and whatnot. Of course, I wasn't so hot on their stuff either. BUT they got greedy and once they realized their formula for success (which wasn't hard to decode), they cashed in on it as much as possible and went on to make some of the worst songs ever created.
N.B: THEY ARE NOT NU METAL. THEY DON'T USE CRAZY EFFECTS, NOR DO THEY SCREAM/SCREECH, NOR DO THEY DABBLE IN ANY INDUSTRIAL GRINDINGS; THEY ARE "DUDE" ROCK, CRAP EXCRETED FROM THE BOWELS OF THE POST-GRUNGE SCENE.

Get the nickelback mug.
A mediocre, and undeservedly popular "post-grunge" band from Alberta. Their dull, uninteresting, dull-as-dishwater, profanity-free music can be heard on pretty much every single radio station in the country, and is the kind of the music I like to call "Soccer Mom Rock." Like I've said before, their songs are boring, lifeless, and all sound incredibly similar to each other(listen to their dreadfully boring "hit" How You Remind Me and the equally dull Someday together and you'll know what I mean), and the Jesus-resembling singer, Chad Kroeger, has an annoying singing voice, and tries too hard to capture the powerful, growling vocals of Eddie Vedder. Listen to Pearl Jam or Soundgarden instead.
Me: Which of these bands do you like better: Pearl Jam, or Nickelback?
Dumbass: Nickelback.
Me: Wow, you seriously need to get a better taste in music, asshole.

Normally a homosexual act of leaving a small deposit of semen mixed with faeces left on the other males back after anal penetration. Generally similar in size & colour to a nickel.

A band so bad you can't even laugh at it.
With a frontman so terrible that one would pay to go to their show just to egg him.

When you fuck a girl on a table and change sticks to her naked back and then she walks around with change all over her back.
"Dude, check out the nickelback on that chick I just banged!"
Oderus Urungus of Gwar likes to have a lot of coins in his dressing room so that the groupies he bangs end up with nickelbacks.
