but who doesn't wanna be a rockstar ffs

LOL at pretentious hipster douchebags who look down on people for liking music they don't like.



Stuff like this makes me glad that I never got that deeply into music. Nothing more annoying that being criticized repeatedly for something so subjective.

That bass line makes that song imo. Such a simple yet catchy song.

i'd like to know why this thread from 2004 has a 2012 date on the op.

Srsly wtf are you talking about? Anyone who isn't completely retarded has known Nickelback was laughable ersatz grunge from the second they goateed their way onto the scene. Please tell me you're not saying if people weren't such hipster sheep they would recognize the quality of Nickelback.

I do look down on anyone who likes Nickelback, sorry. If that makes me a hipster douche, guilty as charged I guess, although that's kind of like calling someone who refuses to eat dog turds a pretentious foodie.

This. Nickelback gets people so mad its hilarious how they are treated differently than hundreds of other bad bands

And both are going out of business now that they played Nickelback on a rock station!

No, I'm saying why do you care if people like laughable ersatz grunge?

The desire to laugh and point at people who like "bad" songs or movies or whatever is far more WTF to me than someone actually liking "bad" songs or movies or whatever.

There's tons of popular stuff I think is crap, but I don't mock people who like it. I just shrug and let them like whatever the **** they want to like.

Edit: So no, I'm not saying that people should recognize the quality of NB. I agree, they aren't very good. But I don't look down on people for liking them.

I guess if you want to look down on someone for liking NB then that's your call. I look down on people who look down on people for liking X, so that way we all get to feel superior.

Please list your three favorite bands.

I like a handful of their songs, bought Silverside Up in high school, but most of their radio singles are kinda trash. I know quite a few haters/music snobs, but most of them agree The State is a pretty good record, at least the song "Leader of Men"

Yay another RRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIVVVVVVVEEEERRRRRRRMANNNNNNNNNN thread!

Also, wherefore art thou, Hootie?

I often think about who the F eats Mcdonald's and Burger King. Or who the F watches network TV sitcoms. Then I wander over to OOT and see thousands of posts praising them.

like you've heard of them

i dont respect the musical opinion of anyone who has heard of their favorite bands
