Why do people hate Nickelback so much? What makes them different from other popular bands like Linkin Park, Green Day, etc.? Is it just because they're Canadian or what?

BoB's answer to Is Stan from Eminem’s Guilty Conscience the same Stan from Stan?

Anyway, why are they so despised in comparison to Green Day, Linkin Park, etc ?? To use an analogy, it is like comparing the smoking/stoner crowd in high school, the athletes and finally the unpopular souls.

Those opposed to the band are simply louder and more vocal than the true fans. A matter of opinions.
