the nickelback effect

Share definition
When one dislikes something, without reason, simply because others dislike it.
Sam: I can't put my finger on it, but I really don't like Nicolas Cage! He just rubs me the wrong way.
Ben: I don't know, man, it sounds to me like you're suffering from a bad case of The Nickelback Effect.

5th Street in downtown Los Angeles - a place where many homeless hang out. The song 'On The Nickel' was written for the made-for-TV movie "On The Nickel" by Ralph Waite. "The Nickel" is a mission located on 5th street. It seems that anyone "on the nickel" would be someone down and out with no place to go.
"And what becomes of all the little boys who never comb their hair? They're lined up all around the block on the nickle over there." - Tom Waits from the song "On the Nickle" (Heart Attack and Vine)

Roll The Nickels

If you roll the nickels you are the king. You are a money maker and you decide who does what and where they do it at.
*knocking at door*

*door opens*

Chuck: Hey man I really need to take a shit in your toilet.

John: No way use your's! Sarah's coming over soon and I'm still trying to fuck her. You're not gonna ruin my chances tonight.

Chuck: Can't, didn't have enough money for the water this month. Let me in or I'll do it right here, it's gonna be messy.

John: For christ's sake get a job you bum.

Chuck: What for? I make the money man, I roll the nickels. The game is mine. I deal the cards.

evidently it's an older expression referring to something that is crazy or unbelievable. I heard it used on an old episode of the Twilight Zone recently, but had never heard the expression before.
such an outlandish story proved "the bull is off the nickle".

The Nickelback Effect

Share definition
Something that gets hate only because the rest of the general public hopped on that old hate train. Goes hand in hand with the Android Effect.
"Hey man you check out that new Nickelback?"
"Nah Nickelback sucks dude, screw Nickelback!"
"You ever listen to them?"
"Nope."
"Wow, you are a living and breathing example of the Nickelback Effect."
