      They were mostly cookie-cutter, middle of the road bands who brought nothing really new to the table

      Sounds like you know exactly why they catch so much hate.

      Creed gets the hate for being an overtly Christian band.

      Some of their songs are alright, but the 100% Jesus 100% of the time is fucking exhausting.

      Nickelback gets the hate because they constantly recycled songs. The same background music to different lyrics. All so that they could get more radio play or some shit.

      Which is what really drove the hate. These bands got a disproportionate amount of radio play.

        Creed gets hate becayse the music is cookie cutter and it’s that bullshit form of performative Christianity that has no actual faith behind it.

      Smashmouth and Imagine Dragons would fit too. It seems every few years there’s a band everyone decides they like and then a few years later everyone suddenly hates them.
