Pull a Nickelback

To build a career on post-grunge hard rock only to churn out a series of mindless pop ballad drivel.

Nickelback headache

A type of excruciating pain affecting the entire head for several hours after listening to a selection of tracks from the derivative Canadian schlock-rock band, Nickelback.

Note: The headache can develop into a full bodyache if the person continues to subject himself to aural torture.

Possible side effects include: shopping at Wal-Mart, driving a Hummer or pickup track, loss of vision, loss of sex drive, alcoholism, and a possible desire to listen to the same song over and over and over again.

"I was driving, on my way to work, but I had to pull over and call in sick...another damn Nickelback headache..."

"At first, I thought that Staind was playing, but by the time I realized my error, it was too late, the intense throbbing and anal leakage had already begun"

Nickelback Republican

A person that lives in modest to poor conditions that votes for right wing and tea party extremist because they identify them as ass kickers and macho... even though it is most likely detrimental to their personal finances.
Believes ALL the problems in America are created by welfare queens, homosexuals, Muslims, illegal immigrants, atheists, and LIBERALS.
Comparable to a redneck or an asshole or a tea-bagger and usually a douche-bag.
Thinks that a Red Dawn event would be a good thing to get rid of all of those "pinko quairs" that hate 'Merica.

A Nickelback Republican believes EVERYTHING that is put on the air on Fox NEWS as is a fact rather than opinion.

A Nickelback Republican Worships Sean Hannity; Bill O'Reilly; Chuck Norris; George W. Bush; Ronald Reagan

Nickelbacking

A twisted, vile game in which, upon hearing a Nickelback song on the radio, a person immediately calls a friend, cranks up the volume, and forces them to listen to Nickelback without saying anything else. The answerer of the phone must listen to Nickelback as long as can be tolerated before hanging up. If the caller receives no answer, he must leave a voicemail recording of the entire Nickelback song to thoroughly disappoint the Nickelback'd individual and ruin his day. Retaliations must continue until one of the players surrenders.

It should also go without saying that the victim must hate Nickelback for the game to work.

Ang: This Nickelbacking has gone far enough!

Rob: Yeah, I heard Pigeon got you real good with Photograph.

Ang: True, but I Someday'd him up the rear and out the mouth last week!

Robyn: I like Nickelback.

Everyone: DIE.

Nickelback

Another mediocre somewhat popular nu-metal band, this time, from Canada, which isn't a surprise considering their musical track record (Avril, Celine Dion, Barenaked Ladies, etc). Lead singer Chad is an extremely nasal "Marlboro Man" type vocalist who sounds constipated on a permenant basis. Guitar consists mostly of easy-to-play power chords that give the band a "tough" sound to the untrained ear, but a closer look reveals a band that has nothing to offer creatively. They were recently exposed recycling their music in their two hit singles, "How You Remind Me" and "Someday", which sound nearly identical when played simultaneously.

Nickelback should simply give up.

Nickelback

Horrible band. Plain and simple. Most of their songs sound nearly identical, because they have no musical talent or creativity. Just because you can play some power chords does not make you a good guitar player. Just because you can write sappy love songs with almost the same melody for every song does not make you a good songwriter. This band is like cyanide for my ears, and it is very hard for me to understand what people hear in their music. Maybe they had one or two catchy little hits, but next time really listen to what they are playing and compare it to a band such as, The Strokes. Tell me what sounds better and more creative. If you say Nickelback, then you are entitled to your opinion of course, but I feel very sorry for you, because you will never learn to appreciate actual talented musical expression. I'm not saying stop listening to Nickelback if you really like them, im simply saying expand your musical horizon. There is better, more thought provoking stuff out there.

Nickelback Fan: Dude, Nickelback effin rocks bro, did you hear their guitarist jam on those power chords, man that was amazing!

Smart Person: ...wow...grow a fuckin brain idiot...

Nickleback

Shorthand for any terrible, redneck, cousin-fucking band using overblown vocals, unimaginative guitar riffs, clichéd lyrics an 11-year-old could write, and generally mind-numbingly boring, predictable musical devices in the vein of Creed, another horrifically unoriginal, grating band, but with shitty Christian lyrics.

"Hey sexy, I've got tickets to see Hinder, Blue October, and Finger Eleven..."

"Eww! Nicklebacks suck!" (Maces him and lights his mullet on fire)
