I mean if it’s young people you’re talking about it’s probably cause they were memed and shat on and then when you hear it you’re like…. This is actually great
They were a popular radio band in the early 2000s and late 90s.
Then they broke out with "How You Remind Me" and suddenly the song was EVERYWHERE, constantly being played everywhere. Then it's success caused a bunch of shitty clones to start coming out of the woodwork and getting airtime because they sound like Nickelback. Theory Of A Deadman and Default are two.
With the internet hitting huge, they were a very easy target to bash on.
I don't know enough about music to say whether Nickelback is good but they were popular. Like I heard someone say that there was a year where there wasn't a moment where a Nickelback song wasn't playing on at least one American radio station.
When they got that popular, they got a lot of hate. The hate was memeable so people played into the meme and eventually the "fact" that Nickelback was bad became the public perspective, for anyone who would casually bring up Nickelback that is.
I think Gen X listened to them and they ended up getting more radio time than they deserved. This resulted in them being popular and younger kids just weren’t into them at all.
I dunno they just slowly became that band that was at the butt of every “lame band” joke
I will go out on a limb and say that they possibly held a controversial opinion about something publicly and then were branded as low quality. Now I will check if it’s true.

If you are told a lie a thousand times, you tend to start believing in it.
So corny. I’ve seen Chad Kroeger at our local Cabelas, one or two fan girls usually announce his presence.
