the nickelback effect 

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.

The Nickelback Effect 

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."
