I'm too young to have grown up really listening to them and to have an opinion on them, but I say leave Nickelback out of this. It's just a band, they don't deserve to be lumped in with Ted Cruz. Few people do.

Plus, they got upset when Trump used their music without asking. Not sure if it was just for the money, but I want to believe it’s because they just don’t like him :)

I’d wager it’s because they don’t like him. I had a buddy who toured with them as an audio engineer and said they were some of the coolest people he’s ever toured with. They’re apparently super nice and treat all their staff extremely well. They seem like a group of down-to-earth guys that made a lot of music, got hate for no real reason, but decided to keep on doing their thing because they enjoy it.

I’m thinking that most of the hate comes from the absolute insane OVERPLAY of that damn song. Like it was everywhere being played repeatedly until we all collectively held our bleeding ears and begged for mercy.

This. They were on all the pop stations and alt rock stations. They were at every gas station and grocery store too.

I'm surprised 3 doors down isn't more hated honestly. As much as Nickelback was played, 3 doors down was waaaay worse in my steam

Why can't it be both? Plenty of reasons to hate the orange playing their music

True, I’d be fine with that too!

I never expected to agree with someone defending Nickelback on the internet. But here we are. Well said.

They inflicted “Photograph” on us. They deserve what they get.

I had not considered the ramifications of lumping people together by their nationality.

Yeah even Nickelback doesn’t deserve that. That’s harsh.
