They used to make me cringe but now I find them so bad they're good. Hard not to rap along and laugh.
I feel they did a good job here:

Edit:
Im actually not sure if this is a remix or not
Every generation has a terrible band.
In the 1960s there was Herman's Hermits
In the 1970s we had KISS
In the 1980s, there was Warrant
In the 1990s, you had Limp Bizkit
In the 2000s, you have Nickelback
In the 2010s, we still have Nickelback
KISS has been somewhat rehabilitated thanks to reality TV and the Family Guy. But people hated them back in the day as much as Nickelback or this bunch.
Train is way worse than Nickleback for this decade.
Everything you need to know about Nickleback in a nutshell. They're like a black hole of blandness.Wikipedia said:The band later changed its name to Nickelback, which originated from the nickel in change that band member Mike Kroeger gave customers at his job at Starbucks; he would frequently say, "Here's your nickel back."
You nailed them down to a tee. And it's mildly surprising they still sound the same after all these years.Not even remotely close.
Train is at least entertainingly bad. Decent pop-rock hooks meet hilariously dubious lyrics. Sure, I wouldn't want to think what I was listening to too hard, but I could put that on while I was painting the garage and not feel like it made my day measurably worse.
Nickleback, though... it's like wallpaper paste was autotuned, time corrected, post processed, and packaged solely and specifically for drive-time radio.
I mean, seriously, just listen to this shit. It's like an all-dad garage band who live on the same suburban street in four consecutive cookie-cutter houses. They get together, and pinch off another song indistinguishable from the last one. In celebration, they drink a beer (but only one, because they have to go to work tomorrow) and complain about the neighbor across the street who leaves his garbage can out just a little too late after pickup on trash day. Then, feeling wild and crazy from their single beer, they'll free-associate a song out of random childhood nursery-rhyme verses.
Clearly, the worst thing Canada has inflicted upon the world.

did they ever make good music, were they ever good.
did they really ruin music in the 90s.
and why does the only black guy of the group look like he is a member of some crop circle cult
Yes, all of it.
No. That was Ace of Base
Reasons?
Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Kid Rock, all were, and are awesome.
And the way they dressed, its some weird version of glam, but the uniform is made in China stuff off the rack from a skate shop or something. Its so boring. All that effort for just blah skate clothes. Besides the weird paint dude-but even that is a high effort for nothing effect.
