Linkin Park were always dope as fuck. Nickelback … I think I’ve just moved on from even talking to nickelback fans and just accepted there’s enough people who like mid music to make them rich (see swifties)

I wasn't aware the groupthink was positive to Nickelback now. I loved early LP; I don't mind their later electronic stuff. What's everyone's problem with Coldplay? Maybe I don't know their very most recent stuff but I've never not enjoyed what I've heard.

I still say that was a positive message. But "let people dislike things" (or "hate things" if you must; I try to reserve that word for more serious things) is just as valid. And if the topic is serious technical review and evaluation, like few on the interent actually do, then it's all good.

Part of why we can rehab these bands is nobody listens to the radio anymore. Their biggest sin was nonstop radio play. I can enjoy ironically (but actually earnestly) listening to Nickelback a few times a year. But it was hell hearing "Photograph" play ten times an hour back in 2006.
