This band/music project is my new favorite thing.
I will never understand the vitriol for Nickelback. Anyone who knows the genre (post-grunge, not grunge) knows there are far worse bands than Nickelback that top the genre charts. I can only presume that most people who hate Nickelback don't know the genre, but know Nickelback because they crossed into Top 40.When listening to this, I don't know if I should be mentally teleported to the 60's or 90's. This is quite confusing. Maybe I should just physically go back in time and assassinate Nickleback and save both grunge and motown as we know it.

It's not that Nickelback doesn't have bad lyrics. It's that it feels like hearing hundreds of people screaming their heads off about a C-rated romantic comedy, having never seen an F. Until I moved to a part of the country that wasn't familiar with post-grunge, I was used to people eithet liking Nickelback, or giving it that C-rated review -- "meh" -- or outright saying they weren't their favorite thing. Not exaggerated, fake-murderous rage.
Alternately -- and this might not be you, so I'm just saying in general -- it seems like people think they're cooler for violently hating Nickelback. Like it's a sweet new trend that will make more people like them.
Like Diogenes, grunge killed itself - a display of pure power over the will to life
Bush is post-grunge though. Nickleback is post-alt? (Wikipedia tells me I'm wrong, preserving content for posterity.)
I'll never fully understand these musical labels as post-grunge, post-rock, and post-punk. Everything has it's influences. If you can't see something as newly made and not totally recycled, you're either a music snob or a hipster.
It's as if anything post-Kurt Cobain is post-grunge. The Seattle scene was NOT only Kurt.
Hadn't heard of post-alt before. I had thought post-grunge was anything that took the fuzz and crunch and growl from grunge and made it streamlined, sleek, produced, and crossover radio friendly in an almost popsy kind of way. But I sort of made that up, because Wikipedia's definition wasn't much help.Like Diogenes, grunge killed itself - a display of pure power over the will to life

Hadn't heard of post-alt before. I had thought post-grunge was anything that took the fuzz and crunch and growl from grunge and made it streamlined, sleek, produced, and REALLY radio-accessible. But I sort of made that up, because Wikipedia's definition wasn't much help.
this argument is like saying all matter defies form, let's cease the application of language
