How did Nickelback gain a large fan base despite criticism of their music?

(Nickleback? They suck. Who cares…)

Something like that. Millions of people love them. Millions claim to hate them. The most honest criticism of the music is that it sounds like it’s being written deliberately for a particular market. I haven’t heard anything since around 2002 or so, so I can’t say for myself. They don’t suck as in bad musicians or bad song writers. They just sell millions of albums while other excellent bands struggle. That’s what the real problem is, I think.

Hey, have you heard of this new band, Nickleback? Their first album is pretty cool.

Did your siblings abuse you growing up? Not your parents, specifically your siblings, or other children in the household you were raised with.

(Yeah, it was great at first. But I have heard it a bit too much.)

(It really bugs me that such a boring, unoriginal band gets so much attention when there are loads of other way more interesting bands out there.)

Why do some straight men like to suck dick but don't find other males attractive?

(Wow! What’s with this band? So many people are going nuts for them? What’s so special about them? They had a decent song or two. But there’s no originality now. They’re just wearing themselves out chasing their own tail.)

(Nickleback sucks! They’re the worst band ever! I can’t stand them. Why do so many people like them? So unoriginal!)

Here’s my ranking of Nickleback’s discography. They don’t have a bad album at all. But some are better than others. In last place is their most recent album. I felt it was very uninspired. This track is the best one and that track is pretty good. But the rest of the album doesn’t do much for me…

Dude, you heard that new single by that band, Nickleback? It’s awesome! Holy crap! That song is everywhere! It’s so cool!

(It sounds a bit too much like they took what made them popular from the previous album and just did more of that.)

Hey, man, that band I told you about, Nickleback? The dropped their sophomore. It’s really good. Check it out.

From an axiology/value theory point of view, how can one say that a diverse society is better than a uniform one, especially given the negative effects of diversity (racism, sectarian conflict, problems arising from extreme cultural relativism)?

Nickleback are awesome! My new favourite band! I just got their fourth album. It totally rocks!

I think it went something like this.

Yay! Nickleback!

Nickleback! Nickleback!
