random question of a musical nature

So, over the years I've come to the realization that people hate Nickelback. I'm not talking, like, "Meh, change the station, I don't like their music." No. I'm talking utter loathing of the sort normally reserved for Disney kids and Justin Bieber.

Question: Why is that? Okay, so some of their songs sound the same. One or two are sort of anvilicious. But...I don't know, I think their music is generally pretty solid. They're a ton of fun to blast in the car and sing along to.

So...thoughts? Why do you think people hate Nickelback, and if you're one of the aforementioned people, why do you hate them? *curious*
