I pretty much hate Nicleback, but mostly because 1) all their songs sound the same (to me), 2) their lyrics combined with Chad's scratchy voice feels too angsty and 3) when they were popular, way too overplayed. To be honest, I think #3 is the biggest problem. But I wouldn't go around telling people that the music they like sucks, at least not to their faces. And yea, I think Nickleback hate jumped the shark a while ago.
