Alternative is a form of rock. It spun off from punk a couple decades back.

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

They claim to be country rock. They sound more country then rock, and annoy the shit out of me. They are the reason I don't listen to the radio because regardless of what station they are playing every other song.

:hug:

I like them. I usually hate whatever I hear on the radio automatically, but Nickelback can be clever and yes, does have a unique sound. They've been branching out as of late too.

Although I will say Chad Kroeger is something of an asshole. (Yes, I've met him.)

I don't believe "happy" is a genre, either.

"You are horrified at our intending to do away with private property. But in your existing society, private property is already done away with for nine-tenths of the population; its existence for the few is solely due to its non-existence in the hands of those nine-tenths. You reproach us, therefore, with intending to do away with a form of property, the necessary condition for whose existence is the non-existence of any property for the immense majority of society.

... In one word, you reproach us with intending to do away with your property. Precisely so; that is just what we intend. "

A sound so unique, they don't even need to find a new one for any of their songs!

The epitome of bland, but yes a rock band nonetheless.

I actually don't mind a few of their older songs, but for the most part I dislike Nickelback.

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

It's pretty impossible for a band to be less alternative than Nickelback. "Alternative" generally refers to a type of rock, also.

It doesn't really matter whether they are Rock or not because either way they are still shit.

I think the highlight of their career was getting stoned at IIRC Ozzfest.
