Nickelback a Rock band?

[Terra Regni]

its genre... its spelt nothing like it sounds
Alternative

Alternative is not a genre, it's a blanket term, much like 'progressive rock'.

I call Alternative Not good enough to be rock or rap and pop with instruments.
Nickleback is not that unique... and truly does not deserve the title of rock
but is an alternative to listening to good music.

Rock is a genre, not a status symbol.

1/10, I replied.

Alt Rock and Prog Rock are definitely genres.

Eh, they're not specific enough for my tastes. There's an ocean of difference between a band like Henry Cow and a band like Gnidrolog.

Isn't that why we have subgenres? >_>

No.

[Barrasso]

Southern Rock?

[Soviet Canuckistan]

do you know how they got their name, people?

[Dionithica]

Nickle back isn't a rock band. It's a punishment, an unpleasant ear fucking at best.

[North Wiedna]

Southern Rock?

They're Canadian.

[The UEG-Space Command]

I don't think "homosexual" is a genre of music.

No but "Gay" Is.

How mature, look people this guy is so mature and grown up, lets all say how cool he is!

personally I like some of their music, but not all.

[Soviet Canuckistan]

Southern Rock?

They're Canadian.

I know!!!! actually from Alberta but they say they're from BC!!!

[Condunum]

Nickelback not Rock? Is Arch Enemy not metal, Escape the Fate not Post-Hardcore, Amon Amarth not Death Metal, and Alan Jackson not Pop Country?
Seriously, just because you don't like them does not mean they aren't Rock. They are Rock. Sorry, fella.

[Condunum]

No but "Gay" Is.

How mature, look people this guy is so mature and grown up, lets all say how cool he is!

personally I like some of their music, but not all.

Is that any more mature than what he did?
Yes.
Does that make what you said remotely mature?
No.

Yes.

No.

DO I care?
Nope
Why
Because I wanted to point out that he is most likely trying to get everyone to be respecting him, conform to the "cool"

[Conserative Morality]

Yes. Just because they're a terrible rock band doesn't make them not a rock band.

So you yourself pander to the hipster crowd by "fighting his conformity". Fabulously original.

Prog has a shit ton of subgenres. Cow is RIO and I don't know what Gnidrolog is because I haven't listened to them.

[Wikipedia and Universe]

If so, then a rather poor excuse for one.

[Freelanderness]

Canadian Albertan reporting in. I went to one of their concerts because a girlfriend urged me to (I dont see her anymore). The crowd was huge. They do have a following here. Im indifferent to them.

Fellow Canadian Albertan reporting in too... They play Nickelback constantly on the radio, and most people are closet Nickelback fans. True story.

On a side note, I declared to my extremely hipster music-obsessed friend that I thought Nickelback was a fantastic band. Lulz ensued.

[West Failure]

I don't understand the obsession with genre. Listen to music, and like it or don't like it, genre is entirely irrelevant.

[Oterro]

Nickleback gets so much hate, but it's actually a really good band. It has a unique sound.

they're pretty gosh darn awful!

Nickelback makes music? Since when?

are you one of those what i don't like isn't music people.

actually, i beleive their genre is either "Gay" or "Prue dick" but im not quite sure.

Prue dick.

lollllllllll

At least they're not in the dyslexic genre that shit is awful.

[Lunalux (Ancient)]

People are far too obsessed with labels.
You either like it or you don't who cares what type of band it's labeled as.

[The Armed Persons Project]

Yes. What they play is really very obviously rock music. Why would you say it isn't?

Lables make things fun. And debatable. We like debates, and generally we like labeling things. Thus, we have labels.
