I don't know about the canadian jealousy theory. I think it has more to do with the redundancy of their music. Sure, we've all heard that internet thing with two songs out of two speakers. Yes, it's the same song.
My personal dislike for Nickleback comes from some kind of rebellion I went through a few years ago. Gerry Forbes p*ssed me off with a child molestation parody song, Puddle of Mudd, Staind & Nickleback all came out with the same song at the same time, and I snapped. I simply gave up on popular music & today's music.
At the tender age of 26, I've resigned myself to keeping up with the artists I like and talk radio.
Nickleback helped put me there.
