It's a style of music that is un-original and takes away from other Canadian artists play-time in Canada.

For stations like CJAY, they get to fill their Canadian Content requirements with the same old songs from Nickleback, Default, The Hip, etc...

I just get frustrated by it because there is so much more Canadian music out there that is REALLY good and a lot of people just don't hear it.

The New Pornographers are a great example of the kind of thing that is slightly being recognized, but pushed under the carpet by Nickleback. For example, Nickleback is leading the Juno nominations, and bands like The New Pornographers, Broken Social Scene and Metric get to duke it out in the alternative category.

That's why I dislike them. But the big thing is that they're boring and repetetive.
