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

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

(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.)

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

How do the youth in Taiwan perceive their national identity in relation to China?

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

Nickleback! Nickleback!

Why do some people tell the girl I like that I don’t like her when I do like her?

(Nickleback? They suck. Who cares…)

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…

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

Here's what happens when quark-gluon plasma 'splashes' during the most energetic particle collisions - Phys.org

(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.)

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

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.

Why are men obsessed with breasts and their size? I don't quite see women being obsessed with the penis - Why is this so?

Yay! Nickleback!

I think it went something like this.

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

Is anal sex allowed in Islam? It's not written anywhere in the Quran whether it's forbidden or not.

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