Nickelback is terrible. They have half of a good song and they were so glad they had it that they literally looped it twice, presumably because people would be like "wtf this isn't even two minutes".
How you remind me. Around the middle it pretty much just restarts. There isn't really a new variation or a bridge or something, it literally just starts again.
The fbi infiltrated this hard? :blob-help: :blob-on-fire: :blob-on-fire:
Maturity is realizing you shouldn't have caffiene past 5 p.m.
It was just a knee-jerk reaction to how omnipresent they were. That was the very end of when people actually listened to the radio in the car or whatever so you'd still get exposed to whatever was on the least worst station in your area.
To be honest, I just got thoroughly fucking sick of hearing rockstar or whatever on the radio. It's not even offensively bad or anything, it just got drilled into that lizard lobe of my brain.
I once read something that hypothesized the hate came from a joke from Colin Quinn's Comedy Central panel show: "I think music can make people violent. Like, Nickelback makes me want to kill Nickelback."
It ran on promos when CC was at its peak popularity, and it spread like a proto-meme when online culture was just getting started. I used to jam to butt rock like them all the time back then and thought the hate was both hilarious and justified.
Rockstar is a pretty good indictment of that whole "rockstar"/celebrity lifestyle and how empty, hollow, and fake it is but it's aspired to by so many youths. there's something here about capitalism bad and that all people really are aspiring to with the whole fame and fortune thing is to not live a life full of stress and struggle, but I'm not smart enough to put it together coherently
It was the mid 2000s rock bands looked like pizza delivery guys or My Chemical Romance. This is a post Nirvana world, rock bands had to act like they didn't enjoy making tons of money playing music. That was for hip hop by then.
That was for hip hop by then.
ah yes, the stadium rock era of hip hop
There is definitely an irony in hip hop being about enjoying all the money you make, a genre that historically, and well, presently, is about the frustrations of an underprivileged class.
it is not !
