The point was, they outlasted bands that they were being compared to as not groundbreaking or different and that they were not a very good band or well liked, yet they are still around and are still selling albums.
Say what you want about Nickelback, but they have sold a ton or records, have a huge number of hits and have influenced many bands as well. Am I a fan, nope, but you can't discount the effect they have had on the industry as well.
