Get the Nickelback mug.A truly awful band from Alberta, Canada. Their music is watered-down hard rock, overplayed (especially on the ROCK radio station near the place I live, and I'm from the United States), and, coincidentally loved by pop music fans, posers, and those with an untrained ear.
Often mislabeled as "post-grunge" or, I've heard someone label them this, and I just about flipped my lid, "grunge" even. They're not even close to being grunge, much less post-grunge.
If Nickelback is anything, they're another nu metal band that's trying to be as cool as Korn, Slipknot, or Limp Bizkit for that matter.

Nickelback fan: "OMG I love Nickelback! They're so awesome and hardcore! They're grunge, baby! Grunge!"
Smart person (sporting a Nirvana shirt): "You idiot. Go listen to the Melvins or Soundgarden or Green River if you wanna hear some real grunge."

Get the Nickelback mug.A band that some people hate and other people "hate". But seriously, Nickelback isn't THAT bad. I would much rather listen to them than what some elitist music snobs and critics call good music. Some people might genuinely dislike their music, but many others dislike them because it's the cool thing to do and it makes them think that they're more sophisticated and intelligent because they like "better music". Why don't you roll over and let the internet and music critics stomp on the other side of your face?
"That band Nickelback isn't that good, but it's much better than what my hipster friend calls good music"
