If a band like Nickelback is so meaningless to the big artistic picture why do they bother you so much? I know the moment someone with Silver Side Up in his/her collection went and bought an Arcade Fire or Wolf Parade CD most of you would look down your nose and say something like "this music is too good for you, go back to Nickelback".
It cracks me up how many indie music fans claim to be such peace loving people but are absolutely the most judgemental folks I have ever met.

Not at all. I'd say good job and would pretty much make a bet that Silver Side Up wouldn't be getting a single play every again.
Nickelback bothers me because it is what is passed off for good Canadian music these days.
And Indie music fan?? My alltime favourite band is the Clash, hardly indie and quite mainstream, now I know that when I listen to the Clash it is a superior art form to 100% of what is out there. Do I exclusively and pretentiously hold onto The Clash? Of course not, that would be silly.
Peace loving people? What?
