Wanted for crimes against music...

I still don't see why people have to hate on Nickelback. Record companies have been generating hyped out bands and singers ever since someone invented record companies. For every Beatles and Elvis Presley, there are a couple hundred Monkees and Nickelback.

By and large, people are sheep. They move with the herd. What is Facebook and Twitter other than versions of this cult of popularity? They are both shit "apps", but they make money and are popular.

I bet over half the people who like "indie" music download it illegally instead of supporting their favourite bands. The fact most people support bands like Nickleback and not indies is almost funny in it's irony.

Wow. So.....maybe I should stop being such an asshole, huh?...If I like, want folks to like, LIKE me?? Fuck THAT shit.

Who's Nickleback?? ...kinna missed the poppy-90s and then the government coop with 9-11 and all, bit fuzzy in the grey areas... GoddAMN!!-Typed this while listening and got a me a dweeb-speaking, 'Phil Fish' headache now

Excellent offering mechadeath, cheers. with some great scotch!

Indie Game is a fantastic documentary. I highly recommend it.

This includes this video in its entirey. How annoying.

I hate Nickleback.

This video is a small portion of a much more interesting video about Phil Fish, the infamous indie dev of Fez.

The Nickleback thing is just an analogy; he's actually talking about why people love to hate Phil Fish and what it means. Recommend watching the whole video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmTUW-owa2w

(googles Nickleback)

I'm fine with it not recognizing Nickleback.

Nickleback?

Again with that god damn Nickleback meme joke bullshit no one wants to explain to me.

*promote

Can someone actually tell me WHY Nickleback are always made a joke of ??

To this day it still makes no sense to me. Why not use lady gaga or Cher or anyone else. Whats the connection to the meme joke ?

nickleback is one of the few bands my 5 yr old can identify every new song by

i have a problem with this counterpoint babymech.
i hope you are not devaluing the lessons history can teach us.

and the first time society is "truly" progressive....
how about taking a long look at abolitionist history, the new republican party, the labor movement of the late 19th/early 20th century, rise of anarchism in america, the history of the naacp, populism movement, the womens christian temperance union, birth control, the great migration, womens suffrage, the new deal, womens refusal to leave their factory jobs after ww2, all the way up to civil rights, womens equal rights movement, and now were working on gay rights.

our history is wholly progressive. always. just because old foggies accomplished it before we were around and now it seems outdated, that doesnt mean it wasnt progressive. in fact, looking at the list above i see most of these events could have happened in one persons lifetime. how much social change has occured in my lifetime? instead of nirvana we have nickleback, mtv quit showing videos and now airs reality shows, cartoon network..... please someone add something redeeming to this list... oh wait... the end of the cold war, but noone my age had anything to do with it...

i do agree that a society relies on young minds for new innovation, but i think my generation would be better innovators if a well rounded education was easier to come by than pop culture trivia and material consumption.

thank fucking christ for some solidarity, even it is too late. i was just spitting blood about this 'song' to my girlfriend the other day. it's a fucking embarrassment for all those somehow involved, and that includes all of us, as fellow human beings.
we should've stopped these talentless motherfuckers before they had a chance to release anything more than a debut album, the quality of which was obviously just at the level needed to ensure the formation of a brainless, loyal fanbase who would, evidently, continue to pay good money for anything and everything these cunts chose to subsequently release.
even the brainwashed victims who buy this current single must, as they listen on loop, faeces smeared on face, be aware of a dull nagging pain at the back of their brains as their entire being attempts to reject the poisonous noise before permanent damage is done, much like a defensive human body rejecting a transplanted lung. the only difference is, that lung had good intentions. this song does not.
it's a fucking disease on the battered face of music, a disease we could've nipped in the bud following early detection. but, as with many unexplainable bands (e.g. nickleback) we were either too embarrassed to talk about it or we thought it'd disappear.
well it fucking didn't. this one's fucking terminal people. the black eyed peas are just getting bigger and bigger and bigger, and one day our brains will just give in to the relentless, monotonous, mindless beat that will eventually riddle our bodies, pickle our brains and cause us to breathe our final breath.
you'd better hope that when you die, that's it. lights out. otherwise this fucking piece of shit song will be playing in your mind for eternity.


Apart from being an appreciator of good honest internet rage, I believe this is pretty much exactly how any person with an IQ equal to or greater than a grapefruit should react.
