I actually don't mind Nickelback. Wouldn't call myself a fan either, but certainly don't hate (don't think this is to harsh a word in their cases) them like 95% of the people, I know.
My only theory could be how seemingly common their music is. As Default and Theory of a Deadman are always mocked as sounding very similar to Nickelback (which they kind of do). Maybe people people are just fed up with hearing the same thing over and over (although Simple Plan are popular among the tween crowd, and they are much worse offenders).
Most people seemed to like This Is How You Remind Me and then it was downhill from there. Maybe their songs are to alike or something.
To answer your question, I don't know exactly why, but it seems harsh.
