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)

Nickelback Test

A test that it is 100% necessary to give to all of your friends before continuing your relationships. The test must be delivered in an inquisitive tone, as to trick the friend into thinking you are also a fan of the band.

Through the administration of this test, we can successfully alienate the Nickelback-loving world, and eventually separate them from us completely in society, leading to our nationwide radio stations being freed from their reign of terror.
"Hey Nick, I just saw that there is a Nickelback concert here in June. You want to go?"

"Dude, I love Nickelback!! Let's do this!"

"Nick! You too? NOOOOOOOOOOO. That was the Nickelback test! Don't ever talk to me again."

nickelback

To lamely produce something for mass consumption with little care for its originality or creativity.

nickleback sucks

What must be said every time the word "Nickleback" is said, or the aforementioned band is about to be brought up in conversation.

This is done to clear the air and acts as a sacrifice to Jimi Hendrix, Freddie Mercury, John Bonham, Keith Moon, Frank Zappa and the other Gods of Rock to stop them laying a curse on mankind, the last time someone failed to do this oh so simple task Justin Beiber was born.
Ignorant Person: Hey have you heard of this great new Canadian band?
Non-Ignorant Person: No..... (please don't be Nickleback, please don't be Nickleback, please don't be Nickleback, please don't be Nickleback) Ignorant Person: They're called Nick-
Non-Ignorant Person: Nickelback Sucks!
Ignorant Person: All I said was Nick-
Non-Ignorant Person: NICKLEBACK SUCKS!!!!
